Find Marshall County Inmates

Marshall County Jail Roster Overview

Sheriff Phil Sims operates the Marshall County Sheriff's Office and county jail at 423 Blount Avenue in Guntersville. The official Marshall County inmate roster offers current, released, and archived inmate routes. It can be sorted newest to oldest or oldest to newest and searched by name. The official source does not state a fixed update cycle or facility capacity, so neither should be assumed.

The county inmate roster covers people in the Marshall County Jail, including pre-sentenced and sentenced individuals. It does not replace the Alabama Department of Corrections search for a person transferred to state prison. ADOC says its online search covers people currently incarcerated in state custody and does not provide historical data online. Federal and immigration custody are not documented as part of the county roster.

Victim notification uses a separate service. VINELink can provide custody-change alerts, while the Sheriff's OffenderWatch alert service concerns sex-offender alerts rather than the jail population. The Sheriff's non-urgent contact form can receive a public-record message, but it is not monitored around the clock. Call 911 for an emergency. For timely custody facts, use the 24-hour number instead of the web form.

The roster carries its own limits. Information and documents are offered for convenience and are not official records. The Sheriff's Office and Detention Center do not certify the roster as accurate or authentic. A released result may remain available after custody has changed, while an archived result may sit on a separate system. For a legal need, confirm the booking with detention staff and obtain the court charge or disposition from Circuit Clerk Angie Johnson or the municipal court that has the case.

The official current roster shows the available county controls.

The capture confirms that name search, date sorting, custody tabs, profile links, and pagination are part of the public route.

Use the Marshall County Inmate Roster

Open the Sheriff roster rather than a third-party booking site. A broad browse can help when the spelling is uncertain. A name search is faster when the exact spelling is known. Current and released tabs serve different custody questions, while the archived link leaves the main roster system. A profile is a booking snapshot, not a certified court disposition.

The Current tab answers whether the roster presently places a person in county custody. Released and Archived Inmates support past booking checks, but they do not establish the final case outcome. Sort Newest to Oldest when looking for a recent intake. Sort Oldest to Newest when reviewing longer stays. If no name appears, try Show All and browse by date before calling the 24-hour line.

1. Open the current roster and choose Current, Released, or Archived Inmates.
2. Enter a name, or use Show All to browse when spelling is uncertain.
3. Sort by name or booking date, then move through the result pages.
4. Open the profile for booking number, demographics, arresting agency, booking date, and listed charges.
5. Call (256) 582-2034 to confirm current bail, charges, and case numbers.

Marshall County Roster Search Fields

The county roster accepts a name search and provides filters rather than demanding a booking number. Date and name controls also act as browse or sort tools. The public page provides pagination for a large result set. These controls are useful for narrowing a recent booking or checking whether a person moved from current to released status.

What Marshall County Inmate Profiles Show

The inspected public profile displayed a booking photo, name, booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, and two listed charges. It did not show a bond amount, court date, housing location, warrant number, release date, or projected release. Missing fields should not be guessed. Detention staff can confirm current booking facts.

The Sheriff press-release archive is a separate public-safety channel.

News releases can explain recent enforcement activity, but they do not establish a person's current custody or court disposition.

Marshall County Jail Facility

The official research identifies one county jail facility and does not provide a capacity number. The Marshall County Jail shares the Sheriff's Office address next to the Marshall County Courthouse in Guntersville. Administrative office hours are weekday business hours, while the listed non-emergency line operates 24 hours. All visitation is remote, so there are no researched in-person visiting hours to publish.

Marshall County Booking and Bond

A Marshall County booking creates the roster profile and intake fields. The jail holds pre-sentenced and sentenced people. The roster may state an initial charge, but later court appearances can change that charge or bail. County misdemeanors and preliminary felony matters route through District Court. An indicted felony routes to Circuit Court, while city charges remain in municipal court. The court case, not the booking page, records the filed charge and disposition.

Property bond signers require sheriff approval. A signer already out on bond cannot sign until that case ends. Most felony charges require two property owners unless approved otherwise, and all owners must appear with ID. Cash bonds are paid at the Circuit Clerk on weekdays, excluding holidays, before the receipt is taken to the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff charges an exact $35 cash bond transmittal fee and does not accept checks for that fee.

Only equity in property counts toward a property bond. Property outside Marshall County must receive sheriff approval. These requirements mean an online profile cannot settle whether a proposed signer or parcel is acceptable. Detention staff should confirm the current charge and bail first. Circuit Clerk cash-bond hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays and weekends.

The official Corrections page contains the jail's bond, visit, mail, and money rules.

The captured page is the direct source to recheck before arranging a visit, mailing an item, or posting a bond.

Marshall County Inmate Visitation

All visits are remote video visits and may be monitored and recorded. Schedule through inmatesales.com or the visitation kiosk in the front lobby. Visits cannot be scheduled by calling the Sheriff's Office. The visitor pays $0.20 per minute. The Sheriff may terminate, suspend, or cancel visitation without notice for safety, and inappropriate visitor conduct can result in suspension. Friends and Family Support is (702) 829-3001; Video Visit Support and Scheduling is (859) 334-0959.

No day-by-day visitation windows were provided in the official research. The schedule table therefore states the actual published method instead of inventing hours. A visitor should use the vendor scheduler to see available slots. The Sheriff's 24-hour line is for detention questions, not visit booking. All remote sessions remain subject to jail security controls regardless of the time shown by the vendor.

Mail for Marshall County Inmates

Personal inmate mail is no longer accepted at the facility. Mail must be addressed to Marshall County Jail, Inmate Name/Inmate Number, PO Box 16060, Jonesboro, AR 72401. It is scanned into the inmate's JailATM communication account. Bulk internet copies and large batches of scans are not accepted. Legal mail from an attorney of record remains accepted at the jail when marked “Private Legal Mail” and labeled with the inmate's name. Books must arrive directly from a vendor or publisher; used books are not accepted.

Business or administrative forms that require a signature should be brought to the facility when possible so front-lobby staff or a shift supervisor can arrange the signature. Personal correspondence mixed into legal or business mail will be destroyed. These rules changed in late 2024, so the Corrections page should be rechecked before sending material.

Legal mail must come from an attorney of record, be clearly marked “Private Legal Mail,” and include the inmate's name. Books remain acceptable only when mailed directly by the vendor or publisher. The jail does not accept used books, including used religious books or family bibles. These limits are more specific than ordinary postal rules and can cause an item to be rejected or destroyed if the sender uses the wrong address or mixes personal text with protected legal or business material.

Marshall County Inmate Money

Commissary deposits are accepted through JailATM online, by phone at 866-516-0115, or at the kiosk in the Sheriff's Department lobby. Telephone funds use Inmate Sales online, by phone at 877-998-5678, or at the visitation-lobby kiosk on Tuesday and Thursday. The researched source does not give deposit caps or transaction fees, so confirm them with the vendor before paying.

The jail's commissary account and telephone account are not interchangeable. A JailATM deposit supports commissary and the scanned communication system, while Inmate Sales funds telephone service. Use the correct inmate identity and vendor channel. If a payment fails or posts to the wrong service, contact that vendor first, then the jail if custody information itself is wrong. The official sources do not support promising refunds, processing times, or same-day availability.

The Sheriff's Office also publishes an official app download page with Apple and Google Play badges.

The county roster already works on the web, and the captured page does not support claiming any app-only inmate function.

VINELink is the Sheriff-linked custody-notification channel.

VINE alerts supplement direct jail checks when a victim or family member needs notice of a custody change.

The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search covers current state-prison custody.

Use ADOC after transfer to state custody, while historical state-prison records require a separate department request.
