Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Elba Community Based Facility/Community Work Center
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or state inmate lookup. Public rosters or inmate search tools typically list the person’s name, identification number, booking or intake date when available, charges or offense information, and custody status. Because this is a community-based state facility, records may appear through the Alabama Department of Corrections system rather than a county jail roster. After a person is booked or transferred, processing can take several hours, so records may not appear immediately. If the search does not show the inmate, check the spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or the appropriate agency for confirmation.

What happens during the intake process at Elba Community Based Facility/Community Work Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
