How to Find an Inmate at Madison County Jail
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, and current custody status. Records are usually not searchable the moment a person is arrested because booking, identification, review, and data entry can take several hours. If the person does not appear right away, check again later or contact the facility directly for current custody information.
