Licensed for 170 inmates, the Tallapoosa County Jail often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. A typical city or county jail turns over at least 40% of its population every month, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in Tallapoosa County remain in custody at the Tallapoosa County facility much longer.

Tallapoosa County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 3,400 offenders each year.

How to handle bail after an arrest in Tallapoosa County

If someone has been booked at Tallapoosa County Jail in Dadeville, their next steps may include:

1. Release without posting bail, provided they agree to attend court.
2. Detainment until their trial.
3. Posting bail or bond to secure release. For the exact amount, call 256-825-1039.

There are a variety of payment methods available for bail.

• The usual way to post a cash bond is to pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk of court by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also offer card payment through a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor for a fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (call 256-825-1039 for the jail).
• Assistance is available from licensed bail bond companies in Tallapoosa County.
• Real property bonds are accepted in many courts: an owner may offer land or a home after showing clear title and equity of at least the bond, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves it.

Can I Use My Computer or Phone to Have a Remote Video Visit with an Inmate in the Tallapoosa County Jail?

The Tallapoosa County Jail believes in the importance of their inmates having an opportunity to have visits from family and friends. When an inmate is released he or she needs to return home, and closeness to their family is one of the strongest reasons that keeps them from getting in trouble again.

One way that Tallapoosa County Jail is able to accomplish this is with on-site visitation, and video visitation using GTL / Viapath.

The benefits of inmate visitation are:

• It keeps inmates happy.
• Allows the inmates to stay in touch with friends, family and children.
• It is used as a way to control bad behavior, as inmates could lose this privilege if they act out.
