Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Aliceville Prison
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster or locator. Inmate rosters or locators typically list the person’s name, register or booking number, age or date of birth, custody location, custody status, and sometimes booking date or charges if the person is in a local jail system. Federal inmate records may focus on register number, release date, and facility location rather than local charges. Records may take several hours to appear after intake because staff must complete processing, identification, and data entry. If the person does not appear immediately, check again later or contact the facility or the agency that made the arrest.
