Elmore County Jail Roster
The Elmore County inmate roster landing page offers two official paths: Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release. The researched current-inmate module was offline for maintenance during inspection, while the 48-hour release roster was visible. That means an Elmore County inmate search should not stop with a blank or unavailable current list. Call the jail when a custody question is urgent, when a name search does not return a person, or when court, bond, or transport status matters.
The Sheriff's Office and jail are at the same public safety location. Sheriff Bill Franklin is listed as the Elmore County Sheriff. The main sheriff phone is (334) 567-5546, the jail phone is (334) 567-5441, and dispatch or crime tips use (334) 567-5227. The official sheriff homepage lists office hours of Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., while the jail operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The official roster disclaimer page is the public entry point for Elmore County inmate records.
The disclaimer is important because the sheriff says the roster is provided for convenience and cannot be treated as certified proof of custody or case status.
Use Elmore County Inmate Search
The official roster lets users move between current and released inmate views, sort results, and search by name. The current module may be unavailable at times, so the jail phone remains part of the access chain. For sentenced state-prison custody, the researched source points to the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search, not the Elmore County jail roster.
- Open the Elmore County inmate roster landing page and read the disclaimer before entering the roster.
- Choose Current Inmates for local jail custody or 48 Hour Release for recently released people.
- Use name search, date sorting, and newest-to-oldest or oldest-to-newest controls to narrow the list.
- Review the visible card fields, including booking number, age, release date, booking date, charges if shown, bond, and profile link.
- Call the jail at (334) 567-5441 when the current module is offline, a record is missing, or a bond or release question needs confirmation.

That screenshot supports the need for a fallback chain instead of claiming the current Elmore County inmate roster always returns live results.
Elmore County Roster Search Fields
The roster controls are simple but useful. They are not the same as a court case search, and the list view does not show all criminal case details. A booking record can identify custody, charge labels, and bond fields, while court charge and case outcomes move through the District Court, Circuit Court, or municipal court system.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | tab/filter | optional | Search or sort by name. |
| Date | tab/filter | optional | Search or sort by date. |
| Current | tab/filter | optional | Current-inmate list; offline for maintenance during inspection. |
| Released | tab/filter | optional | 48-hour release list. |
| Sort Newest to Oldest | link | optional | Sort order control. |
| Sort Oldest to Newest | link | optional | Sort order control. |
| Search By Name | text search label | optional | Name search field area visible. |
| Search | button/link | n/a | Runs the name search. |
| Show All | link/button | n/a | Clears the search filter. |
Elmore County Inmate Record Fields
The 48-hour release roster supplied the clearest sample record inventory. Released inmate cards showed photo thumbnails, name display, booking numbers, ages, release dates, booking dates, charges on some cards, bonds, and profile links. Some entries showed no charges in the list view. Visible charge labels included Failure to Appear x 10 and Hold for Another Agency.
The 48-hour release roster showed sample Elmore County inmate record fields during inspection.
The release roster is useful for recent custody events, but it does not replace court records or certified jail confirmation.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Photo thumbnail | Small inmate image in the list view when present. |
| Name | Inmate display name, often with abbreviated first-name detail in sample cards. |
| Booking # | Booking identifier tied to the jail intake event. |
| Age | Age displayed on the roster card. |
| Release Date | Date and time of release for 48-hour release entries. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of booking into Elmore County Jail. |
| Charges | Charge labels when shown; not every list entry displayed a charge. |
| Bond | Bond value, including $0.00 or numeric amounts in sample records. |
| View Profile | Link to more detail, though sample profile details did not load in the inspected text fetch. |
Elmore County Jail Contact
The official jail page says the Elmore County Jail houses municipal inmates, county inmates, and inmates waiting for transfer to the Alabama Department of Corrections. Inmates may be held for violations, misdemeanors, and felonies. The jail is a 24-hour facility, but the Sheriff's Office public office hours are separate from jail operations.
Elmore County Sheriff's Office / Jail
8955 U.S. Highway 231
Wetumpka, AL 36092
(334) 567-5441
Jail operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The official jail services page describes jail housing, visitation, phones, mail, commissary, property, and PREA reporting.
The jail page is the source for family-contact rules and should be checked before mailing items or trying to bring property to the facility.
Elmore County Booking Records
Booking data in the roster is a custody record, not a final court outcome. A person may be listed with a charge label or a hold, but the prosecutor and court process determine filed charges, pleas, dispositions, and sentences. For the court side of the arrest-to-charge path, use Elmore County arrest records and court charges after checking the jail roster.
The jail may house people for local violations, misdemeanors, felonies, municipal matters, and transfer to ADOC. If the person has already moved to state prison, the Elmore County inmate roster is no longer the main search channel. Use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search for sentenced state custody.
Roster limit: A missing roster entry can mean release, transfer, maintenance, spelling mismatch, or a record not shown in the list view.
Elmore County Jail Visits
Elmore County Jail uses video visitation. The official jail page says visitors visit with the inmate over a video visitation machine, and friends or family may visit from a cell phone or computer by setting up an account with NCIC. There is a charge for remote visits from a cell phone or computer. The research did not locate a weekly schedule, visit length, dress code, ID list, attorney visit schedule, or holiday rule.
| Topic | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Visit method | Video visitation machine and remote visits through NCIC. |
| Remote provider | NCIC. |
| NCIC phone | 1-800-943-2189. |
| NCIC URL | Elmore County Jail NCIC account link. |
| Remote visit cost | The jail page says there is a charge, but exact rates were not published in the inspected text. |
| Published weekly schedule | Not located in official inspected jail text. |
The NCIC account link is linked from the official jail page for Elmore County Jail accounts.
NCIC access is useful for remote communication, but jail staff should confirm visit rules that are not published in the official text.
Elmore County Inmate Mail
The jail currently accepts postcards only. If a letter is mailed to the jail, the letter will be returned to sender. Inmates may receive two softback books per month, and those books must come from a publisher or company such as Books-A-Million or Amazon. The research did not locate an official inmate-address format with booking number, so call the jail before sending mail.
- Postcards are the accepted mail format in the researched jail rules.
- Letters are returned to sender.
- Books are limited to two softback books per month from a publisher or company.
- Property cannot be dropped off for an inmate without prior approval.
- Privileges such as visits, phone, commissary, mail, and exercise can be restricted based on behavior.
Note: Call (334) 567-5441 before sending books, mail, or property because unpublished rules may affect delivery.
Elmore County Commissary Funds
Elmore County Jail contracts with Stacy Williams Company for commissary items. Friends and family may add money at the Sheriff's Office lobby kiosk or online through CorrectPay. The lobby kiosk is in the east corner and accepts cash or credit/debit cards. Inmates have a weekly spending limit of $150.
| Commissary Topic | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Commissary provider | Stacy Williams Company. |
| Lobby deposit | Sheriff's Office lobby kiosk. |
| Kiosk payments | Cash or credit/debit card. |
| Online deposits | CorrectPay. |
| Spending limit | $150.00 per week. |
Elmore County Jail Reports
The official jail page includes Prison Rape Elimination Act information. PREA sets a zero-tolerance standard for inmate sexual assault and rape and applies to public and private institutions that house adult or juvenile offenders. To file a PREA report on behalf of an inmate, call 334-567-5441 ext. 3204 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reports can be anonymous.
The Elmore County Sheriff's Office also advertises an official mobile app through its app page, with Google Play and Apple Store shortlinks. The official text did not list app-only inmate search features, so the app should be treated as a sheriff communication option rather than a substitute for the roster or jail phone.
The researched app-page captures include official sheriff shortlinks for mobile download.
The app reference supports mentioning the official sheriff app, while avoiding unsupported claims about app-only roster tools.
The second app-reference capture documents the other official shortlink from the Sheriff app page.
For custody, bond, mail, and release questions, the jail phone and official roster remain the primary inmate-record channels.
