Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Mobile Community Based Facility/Community Work Center
To find an inmate, use the official inmate search link provided on this page for the facility’s roster or offender lookup. Inmate rosters usually list identifying details such as the person’s name, booking or custody date, charges or offense information, location, and custody status. For state-run community facilities, records may appear through the Alabama Department of Corrections search rather than a county jail roster. New records are not always searchable right away; processing, verification, and transfer updates can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested in Mobile County, also check the county jail roster because they may be held there before any transfer to state custody.
FAQs

What do I need to bring when visiting Mobile Community Based Facility/Community Work Center?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Minors usually must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and all visitors should confirm rules before arriving.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Mobile Community Based Facility/Community Work Center?
Because this is generally a state community custody or work-center facility, most inmates here are already sentenced and may not have bail.

What happens during the intake process at Mobile Community Based Facility/Community Work Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review custody records, complete classification steps, and assign housing or program placement. Records may take several hours or longer to appear online, especially after a transfer or recent booking.
