Cleburne County Jail Overview

Cleburne County Jail is operated by the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office in Heflin. The sheriff's office page identifies Sheriff Jon Daniel as the elected sheriff and lists Jail Administrator Clay Smith as the official responsible for jail operations. The facility is a county jail, not an Alabama Department of Corrections prison. It serves the local jail role for Cleburne County arrests, short local sentences, warrants, failures to appear, and court-ordered holds.

The jail population can include people arrested by the sheriff's office, Heflin Police Department, Ranburne Police Department, and other agencies whose cases place them in county custody. The official audit for the sheriff's office also documents municipal prisoner feeding funds from Heflin and Ranburne, which supports the local role of the jail for municipal prisoners. Once a person is sentenced to state prison, the county roster may no longer be the right lookup tool.

The official Cleburne County Sheriff's Office roster is the best starting point for current jail custody. It is free to view and did not require a login during research. It showed a live update stamp and current roster rows when inspected, but the roster is still a point-in-time public view. For bond, release, and same-day transfer questions, call the jail before relying on an old screen.

Cleburne County Jail Roster Lookup

The Cleburne County Jail roster is a table-based roster rather than a form that asks for a booking number before results appear. The table can be scanned, sorted, or filtered by the browser's DataTables search box when it is visible. Roster rows include a photo thumbnail, name fields, age, sex, booking date, race, height, and weight. Clicking a row opens the person's public inmate detail page.

The sample inmate detail layout inspected in the research showed a larger booking photo, name, age, sex, race, height, weight, booked date, charges, and bond text. It did not show a booking number, full date of birth, arresting agency, case number, warrant number, housing unit, court date, or projected release date. For a wider field breakdown, the Cleburne County jail inmate records page tracks what the roster does and does not show publicly.

The official Cleburne County Jail roster screenshot source shows the live sheriff roster table with mugshot thumbnails and booking dates.

The roster image is useful because it shows the actual public fields readers should expect before opening an inmate profile.

1. Open the official roster and check the last updated line before reading any inmate status.
2. Use the table search or sort the Last, First, Booking Date, Sex, or Race columns to narrow the list.
3. Click the person's row to open the detail page for charges and bond text.
4. Call Cleburne County Jail if a spelling issue, late release, new hold, or same-day booking may explain a missing record.

Cleburne County Jail Custody Systems

A county jail roster search should not be confused with an ADOC, BOP, ICE, or court-record search. Cleburne County Jail is the local custody point for pretrial detainees, failures to appear, warrants, people serving short local sentences, and detainees awaiting transfer. ADOC covers sentenced Alabama state prisoners. The Bureau of Prisons covers sentenced federal inmates. ICE covers immigration detention through its own locator, and the U.S. Marshals Service handles federal district custody rather than publishing a county-style roster.

Alabama VINE is another lookup channel for custody status and notification. The sheriff's office links Alabama VINELink as a resource, but VINE does not replace the jail's own roster for public roster fields, mugshots, and charge text. Countywide custody context is organized on the Cleburne County inmate population page.

Cleburne County Jail Contact

The jail address is the correct address for inmate services, jail roster questions, visitation checks, and custody confirmation. Do not use the county administration address or courthouse address for jail visits unless the matter is a separate court, property bond, or public-records task. The sheriff page lists office hours for public business, while jail custody operations continue around arrests and bookings.

Official sources did not publish a visitor parking map, public transit route, intake lobby hours, or ADA entrance detail for the jail. Use the Lambert Drive address for map routing and call before travel if parking, accessible entry, visitor identification, or visitation status will affect the trip.

Cleburne County Jail Visitation

Visitation at Cleburne County Jail is organized by pod. The official roster contact page and the new-inmate information sheet list Saturday and Sunday visitation blocks, with B Pod identified as women. The same source says space is limited and only two visitors are allowed per visit period. No official dress code, child-visitor rule, lockdown policy, attorney-visit rule, or remote video schedule was located in the research set.

The official source prints D Pod's Saturday block as "10:30-12:00 am." Because that wording appears to be a source issue, the time is kept as printed here rather than corrected without confirmation. Call the jail before leaving for any visit, especially if the inmate was just moved, booked, released, or reassigned to another pod.

The official jail contact screenshot source shows the visitation schedule and jail information block used for Cleburne County Jail visitor planning.

The contact screenshot supports the pod-based schedule and the need to confirm details with the jail before travel.

Cleburne County Jail Mail And Money

Cleburne County Jail mail rules are narrow. The official new-inmate information sheet says inmate mail should use the inmate's name and the Lambert Drive jail address. It also says postcards only and no envelopes due to safety and security. The roster contact page shows a conflicting ZIP code, while the county sheriff page and the PDF use 36264. The 36264 ZIP is used here because it appears in the county and PDF sources, but mailers should confirm before sending time-sensitive mail.

Phone service is through Combined Public Communications, also listed as CPC, through InmateSales. The official sheet lists CPC customer service at 1-702-829-3001. Commissary deposits can be made with cash at the kiosk in the visitation area or online through InmateCanteen using the "give a gift" option. Money orders are no longer accepted for commissary deposits.

Cleburne County Jail Booking Intake

Booking starts after an arresting agency brings a person into local jail custody. The public roster then becomes the visible jail record for current custody. Research found that Cleburne County roster rows include a booking date, and the roster HTML stores a sortable timestamp even though the public table displays the date. Booking photos are also part of the public roster view when the inmate row has an image file.

The intake process connects jail custody with the early court process. Alabama criminal rules address procedure after arrest, probable-cause review, release options, and initial appearance. The jail roster is still a custody record, not the final court case record. A booking charge can change once the prosecutor and court filings move forward, and a person can remain held because of a warrant, failure to appear, no-bond order, or another active hold.

Cleburne County Jail Bond Options

Roster detail pages can show bond text beside each charge. The inspected sample showed several failure-to-appear criminal mischief charges with "No Bond" text, but that example should not be read as the rule for all charges. Bond depends on the charge, warrant, court order, and any hold from another agency. If one line says no bond, money may not release the person unless a judge changes the status.

The Cleburne new-inmate sheet lists approved bonding agents and a local property-bond process. A property bond requires a property sheet from the Revenue Commissioner's Office at the courthouse, sheriff approval, signatures by all people listed on the property sheet, and a $35 money order payable to the Cleburne County Circuit Clerk. The public roster is a starting point, but the jail or court should confirm release conditions before any payment.

Personal recognizance

Release without security, based on a promise to appear and comply with release terms.

Appearance bond

A promise to pay a set sum if the released person violates court release conditions.

Surety

A person or bonding company that agrees to be responsible if release conditions are broken.

No bond

A charge or hold status showing that release by payment is not available at that time.

Cleburne County Jail Population Notes

Official sources did not publish a rated bed capacity for Cleburne County Jail. The sheriff page, roster site, contact page, new-inmate information sheet, and 2025 audit were checked in the research set without finding a capacity number. The public roster did show 44 rows in the HTML when inspected on May 26, 2026, with a roster timestamp of 5-26-2026 10:00 PM. That figure is a live roster count, not capacity and not an average daily population.

The October 17, 2025 Department of Examiners of Public Accounts audit covered July 1, 2021 through March 31, 2025. It states that the sheriff is responsible for jail operation and custody of county prisoners under Alabama law. It also documents jail store activity, prisoner money, telephone commissions, state food and service allowance, municipal feeding allowance, and prisoner feeding costs. The audit did not report a bed count or average daily jail population.

Cleburne County Jail Programs

The corrections resources listed by the sheriff's office include inmate roster information, new inmate guidelines, commissary information, phone information, visitation information, VINE Link information, and chaplain information. The research did not locate official Cleburne County Jail pages for medical care, mental-health screening, grievance procedure, accreditation, attorney visitation, or detailed housing-unit function beyond the visitation pod labels.

Work release needs a careful local note. The official audit says the sheriff accounts for a Work Release Fund under Alabama law, but it also says the work-release program was discontinued before the audit period and the account remained open with only monthly interest activity. Because of that audit language, Cleburne County Jail should not be described as having an active work-release program unless a newer official source confirms it resumed.
