Perry County Jail Inmate Search
We’ve compiled Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on finding an inmate in the Perry County Jail, how jail rosters work, and what happens after an offender is arrested and booked. You can also call 334-683-6534 if you still have questions.
The licensed capacity of the Perry County Jail is 46 inmates, though the jail frequently has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails see at least 40% of inmates turn over monthly, 30% more every 90 days, and 20% more every six months, while around 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays longer than twelve months are usually tied to serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, which means offenders arrested in Perry County stay in custody at the Perry County facility much longer.
Perry County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 920 offenders annually.
The Perry County Jail, at 202 Pickens Street in Marion, AL 36756, is run by the Perry County Sheriff’s Office, which covers the county’s unincorporated areas and the towns of Marion and Uniontown. It is a small, minimum-security jail with room for about 46 people. It holds adults awaiting trial on misdemeanor and felony charges and people serving sentences under a year. For any question about someone in custody, including whether they are there, call (334) 683-6534; you can also search VINELink at vinelink.vineapps.com.
After an arrest, the person must be taken before a judge without unnecessary delay and within 72 hours (Alabama Rule of Criminal Procedure 4.3). Perry County belongs to the 4th Judicial Circuit, along with Bibb, Dallas, Hale, and Wilcox counties. Look up court cases on Alacourt, and before turning yourself in on a warrant, call the sheriff’s office or an attorney.
In Alabama, most defendants are entitled to bail. Judges may refuse it in capital cases where the proof is evident or the presumption great, and, after a pretrial detention hearing under Aniah’s Law (2022), for charges including murder; first-degree kidnapping, rape, sodomy, sexual torture, domestic violence, human trafficking, burglary, arson, and robbery; aggravated child abuse and certain offenses against children; and terrorism. In May 2026, voters added solicitation, attempt, or conspiracy to commit murder and shooting into an occupied building or vehicle (Amendment 1, 81.6% yes). The Rule 7.2 schedule, such as $300–$6,000 for a Class A misdemeanor, is a guide judges can depart from. Release may be on personal recognizance, an unsecured appearance bond, or a secured bond posted in cash, with real property, or through a bail bond company.
Visits last 30 minutes, once a week, with no more than two guests on the inmate’s approved list. Call (334) 683-6534 to confirm your loved one’s visiting times and set an appointment. Bring a government-issued photo ID, dress conservatively (no shorts, sleeveless tops, or see-through clothing), and bring a birth certificate or guardianship papers for any children. Clergy need approval in advance.
Mail goes to the inmate’s name at P.O. Box 157, Marion, AL 36756. Postcards and letters are accepted, and books must be softcover from the publisher. Phone calls are handled by Securus Technologies ((800) 844-6591). Ask the jail how to add money to an inmate’s commissary account.
No public bus serves the jail, so most visitors drive. For gas, try Marion Citgo Quick Mart at 105 Murfee Street or Q Stop and Shop (Valero) at 702 Washington Street. Krispy Krunchy Chicken at 201 AL-14 and Lottie’s Restaurant at 207 Washington Street are both close.
After an arrest, individuals are transported to Perry County Jail for the booking process. This procedure ensures the person’s identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released, eligible for bail, or detained until court.
Remaining silent during this process is vital. Anything said could be used as evidence, so it’s wise to wait for an attorney before speaking about the arrest.
Here’s a breakdown of the booking steps at Perry County Jail:
