Calhoun County Inmate Roster
The official Calhoun County inmate roster is maintained by the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office. The roster is a Sheriff-hosted table with public columns for name, booking date, sex, race, and hold. The table can be searched, filtered, sorted, and paged, with page-size options for 10, 20, 50, or 100 rows. Names are linked, so individual roster posts may open when details are available.
The roster should be read as a current local custody tool. It does not serve as a complete criminal court record, statewide criminal history, or permanent booking archive. Charges, bond terms, court dates, and case outcomes may need a linked inmate post, a call to the jail, or a search through District Criminal, Circuit Criminal, or Calhoun County criminal court records.

This public roster is the best starting point for current jail custody in Calhoun County, while state prison custody is handled through the Alabama Department of Corrections.
How to Search Calhoun County Inmates
Use the roster search box when a person may be in the county jail. Search by full name first, then try last name only or alternate spellings if no result appears. The roster table sorts by name and booking date, so a search can be widened when the exact spelling, middle initial, or alias is uncertain.
- Open the official Sheriff inmate roster.
- Enter a name in the search box or use the table filters when available.
- Compare booking date, sex, race, and hold fields before treating a row as a match.
- Open the linked name if a public inmate post is available.
- Call the Sheriff's Office when bond, charges, or hold status must be verified.
People sentenced to state prison are not tracked by the county roster after transfer. Use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search for current state inmates, and use the ADOC public records coordinator for prison records that are not available online.
Calhoun County Inmate Search Fields
The Calhoun County inmate roster uses a public table, not a court-style case search form. The captured setup includes a global search field, a search-in filter, sortable columns, linked names, and page-size controls. The exact minimum search length was not published, so short searches may need more detail or a wider manual scan.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text | No | Global roster search; exact minimum length was not published. |
| Search in | Dropdown/filter | No | Table setting exposes a search-in filter, but visible choices were not captured. |
| Name | Sortable linked column | No | Sorted ascending by default and may open an inmate post. |
| Booking Date | Sortable date column | No | Displayed in YYYY-MM-DD format. |
| Sex | Sortable text column | No | Public roster descriptor. |
| Race | Sortable text column | No | Public roster descriptor. |

What Calhoun County Inmate Records Show
The captured public roster fields are narrow. A linked inmate post may provide more detail, but the research did not rely on a specific inmate profile. Treat the table fields as the confirmed public inventory, and verify charges, bond, court date, booking number, date of birth, or release terms through the Sheriff or court file when those facts are needed.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The public linked name for the roster row. |
| Booking Date | The date the person was booked, shown as year, month, and day. |
| Sex | A public descriptor in the roster table. |
| Race | A public descriptor in the roster table. |
| Hold | The hold agency field, useful when another court or jail may affect release. |
| Mugshot | The source indicated an image area, but no specific profile image was used for research. |
| Charges, bond, court date | Not confirmed in the captured roster table columns; check a linked post, jail, or court record. |
Note: A current jail roster entry is not proof of conviction and should be compared with the related court case.
Calhoun County Jail Facility
The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office and jail functions are based at the Sheriff's Office address. The Jail Operations Bureau handles daily supervision, intake and release procedures, classification and housing assignments, inmate movement, security checks, and facility rule enforcement. The research did not locate a separate official capacity figure for this page, so no capacity is stated.

That source explains the jail's day-to-day operational role, including intake, release, classification, movement, supervision, and the Corrections Emergency Response Team.
Booking and Holds in Calhoun County
Booking places the person into the local jail system and creates a current custody record. The Jail Operations Bureau oversees intake, release, classification, housing assignments, and daily operational needs. Corrections officers monitor housing units, conduct security checks, manage movement, respond to incidents, and enforce facility rules around the clock.
Bond is a separate issue from booking. The Sheriff bond information states that bond can be set before or after booking, and that the arresting officer or judge determines the amount depending on the charge. Jail personnel do not set bonds and cannot change bond amounts. Probation violations, revocations, failure to appear, and certain writs may have no bond until the inmate appears before a judge.
The Sheriff inmate bonds page is one of the required image sources for this page.
Property bonds, bonding company bonds, cash bonds, other holds, and no-bond situations can all affect whether a roster entry leads to release.

Mail and Phone for Calhoun County Inmates
Inmates may receive USPS mail, but the rules are strict. Mail should be regular letter size, and envelopes must be white and pre-posted. Oversized envelopes, packages, and peel-and-stick stamps are not allowed. Incoming and outgoing mail is subject to search, and inmate mail is scanned and delivered electronically for facility security.
The Sheriff inmate mail rules also cover books and contraband. Books are accepted only if purchased directly from Barnes and Noble and shipped straight to the jail, and contraband sent through mail may lead to investigation and prosecution. The mailing format uses the inmate's name and the Sheriff's Office address at 400 West 8th Street in Anniston.
Inmate phone service is handled by Combined Public Communications through InmateSales.com. Inmates may make collect calls or use prepaid accounts funded by family or friends. Phone access is subject to facility rules, security, and schedules. Customer service for the provider is 1-877-998-5678.
Calhoun County Inmate Money
Every inmate booked into Calhoun County Jail has an individual account. Funds can be used for commissary, phone calls, medical co-pays, court-ordered fees, and other authorized expenses. Money at booking is deposited into the account, and remaining funds at release are returned by check or debit card. Employees cannot accept money or property for an inmate.
The Sheriff inmate accounts page is one of the Calhoun County inmate records images assigned by the manifest.
Approved deposits may be made through the jail lobby kiosk with cash, credit card, or debit card, or through approved online deposit links.
The Sheriff commissary page identifies Legacy Commissary as the commissary provider.
Commissary ordering is generally once per week, typically Sundays, and customer service for Legacy Commissary is 1-770-957-0803.
Medical Limits and State Custody
Medical care for Calhoun County inmates is provided through a contract between the county commission and a licensed correctional health-care provider. Inmates are evaluated and treated in the jail medical office. HIPAA protects inmate medical information, and it cannot be released without proper authorization. Jail staff cannot accept medication for an inmate unless jail medical staff approves and accepts it.
The Sheriff medical services page is the final image source assigned to this inmate page.
Medical records and health details are not public roster fields, so family members should use the jail nurse phone line and expect privacy limits.
For state prison custody, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search. ADOC states that its online inmate search covers current state-prison inmates only and does not provide historical data online. County jail custody, state prison custody, and federal custody are different systems, so a no-result county roster search should be followed by the correct state or federal channel when the person may have been sentenced, transferred, or held outside Calhoun County.
