Greene County Released Inmates
A released Greene County inmate is someone the Greene County Jail no longer holds under that booking or jail order. That does not always mean the person is free from every form of custody. The county record may show bond, time served, sentence completion, dismissal, a court order, transfer to the Alabama Department of Corrections, release to another county, federal custody, ICE custody, parole, probation, or a cleared detainer. Each release type points to a different record trail.
The Greene County Sheriff's Office current-inmate channel is useful at the start because it may show whether a person is still in the jail. Once the person drops off that channel, the stronger proof is the sheriff's prisoner record book and booking/release record. Alabama law requires the sheriff to keep a book in the office that includes the order and date of commitment and the order and date of release. That local record is the core source for Greene County Jail releases.
A missing name in an online inmate channel is only a clue. The release date and release order come from the sheriff, court, ADOC, ABPP, VINE, BOP, or ICE depending on the custody path.
Greene County Release Types
Greene County release records should be read as custody-event records. They do not decide guilt, and they do not replace the court case. A bond release often means the person left jail while the criminal case continues. A time-served release means the custodial part of the sentence or credit may have been met. A transfer means Greene County stopped holding the person, but another agency may have taken custody.
| Release type | What it usually means | Where to confirm next |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | The person left jail while the case may remain open. | Greene County sheriff record and Alacourt or clerk docket. |
| Time served or sentence served | Jail time or credited custody satisfied a local sentence. | Sheriff release record, sentencing order, and court case action summary. |
| Court ordered release | A judge or court action ended the jail hold. | Greene County Circuit Clerk and court docket. |
| Transfer to ADOC | The person left county custody for state prison custody. | ADOC inmate search while current, then ADOC records or ABPP. |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Greene County released the person to another custody system. | BOP locator, ICE ODLS, federal court, or counsel. |
Greene County Release Record Fields
The proved Greene County release-record anchor is the Alabama sheriff prisoner book statute. Ala. Code Section 36-22-8 requires the sheriff's office to keep a well-bound prisoner book open to public inspection during office hours. The required fields include a description of each prisoner received into the county jail, name, age, sex, color, distinguishing marks, charge, order and date of commitment, and order and date of release.
Greene County's public inmate feed did not return live sample records during the research, so broader fields should be requested rather than claimed as published online. A focused request can ask for booking number, arresting agency, charge, release date, release time, release reason, bond or court order, transfer destination, hold agency, and booking photo if public and not restricted. The order and date of release remain the main county-level proof.
| Field to ask for | What it helps confirm |
|---|---|
| Order and date of commitment | Why the jail received the person and when custody began. |
| Order and date of release | The legal basis and date for ending Greene County custody. |
| Release reason or type | Whether the person bonded out, served time, transferred, or was released by court order. |
| Hold or transfer agency | Whether another jail, ADOC, BOP, ICE, or another authority took custody. |
| Booking photo and property receipt | Whether a public image exists and how property or funds were handled at release. |
Get Greene County Release Records
For a Greene County Jail release, start with the Greene County Sheriff's Office at the official sheriff website. The office is listed at 400 Morrow Ave, Eutaw, AL 35462, with main phone 205-372-3242 and office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Because the prisoner book is open to public inspection during office hours, an in-person request for a specific release date is a strong route when no public recent-release feed exists.
- Identify the last known custody point: Greene County Jail, ADOC, ABPP, BOP, ICE, or court supervision.
- For a county jail release, ask the sheriff for the booking/release record and the order and date of release.
- Give the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, charge, arresting agency, and case number.
- Ask whether release was to the community, bond, court, ADOC, another county, USMS, ICE, or another agency.
- Use Alacourt ACCESS or the Greene County Circuit Clerk for the disposition, bond order, sentence, probation order, jail credit, or expungement order.

Greene County Release Laws
Alabama's public-records framework starts with Ala. Code Section 36-12-40, summarized by the Alabama Secretary of State as making public records available to Alabama citizens subject to legal exceptions. For county jail release records, Ala. Code Section 36-22-8 is more specific. It requires the sheriff's prisoner book to show the order and date of release.
Access can still be limited by juvenile status, youthful-offender treatment, sealed court records, expungement, active law-enforcement limits, or other protections. ALEA says Alabama courts grant expungements, not ALEA, and ALEA's expungement page points to Alabama Code Chapter 15-27 for qualifying records. If a release record or booking photo is no longer public because of a court order, the clerk or issuing agency controls the public-access answer.
- Discharge
- End of a custody or supervision term under the controlling order.
- Time served
- Custody credit or jail time that satisfies the custodial part of a sentence.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency that can keep a person in custody after one case ends.
- Expungement
- A court process that can restrict public access to eligible records.
Find Released Greene County Inmates
The right Greene County released inmate search begins by separating current custody from release proof. The Greene County Sheriff's Office inmates page and app channel are current-inmate oriented. If the person is still listed there, the person has not been released from the county jail. If the person is not listed, confirm the release through the sheriff's release record, the court record, or the next custody system.
- Check the sheriff inmate channel only to see whether the person is still in Greene County Jail.
- If the person is absent, request the sheriff's release date and release order from the prisoner book or booking record.
- Search ADOC if the person may have been sentenced or transferred to state custody.
- Use ABPP hearing results, the Demopolis Field Office, or ABPP records if parole, mandatory release, or probation is involved.
- Use Alacourt or the Greene County Circuit Clerk for bond, disposition, sentence, jail credit, and expungement records.
- Use BOP or ICE only when federal custody, a federal hold, or immigration custody is part of the facts.
The recent-release pages explain why Greene County did not show a separate rolling feed during research; the 24-Hour Releases page is useful when the question is whether a same-day public list exists. A named-person lookup belongs here because a released person can move across county, state, federal, and court records.
Greene County ADOC Release Lookup
The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search is most useful when a Greene County detainee was transferred to state prison or when a sentenced person may still be in ADOC custody. ADOC states that its public online database contains currently incarcerated inmates only and that historical data is not available online. That means the search is not a released-inmate archive.
The ADOC search fields are AIS number, first name, and last name. ADOC says the AIS number takes precedence over the name fields, name searches can be open-ended, and only 50 records display at one time. While a person remains in ADOC, the definitions page explains release-related fields such as minimum release date, parole consideration date, parole status, jail credit, good time received, good time revoked, admit date, commit county, and time served.
The ADOC inmate-search screenshot in the manifest comes from the official ADOC search page.
Use the ADOC result to decide whether the person is still in state custody, then move to ADOC records, ABPP, VNS, court records, or the clerk when the online current record no longer appears.
| ADOC field | Use in a Greene County release question |
|---|---|
| AIS number | The fastest state-prison identifier when known. |
| Commit county | Shows the sentencing county tied to the ADOC term. |
| Jail credit | Prepared by the circuit clerk and tied to local jail time. |
| Minimum release date | Earliest scheduled release to probation or end of sentence while current. |
| Parole consideration date | A tentative parole-board date, not a physical release date. |
Greene County Recent Releases
Greene County has an official sheriff website and OCV/TheSheriffApp inmate channel, but the research did not locate a separate 24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour release archive. The public inmate feed returned an empty array when checked. That finding should be read narrowly. It does not prove that no one was in custody, no one was released, or no release record exists. It only means the public route found during research did not expose recent-release records.
For recent releases, the sheriff's office and the court route are often stronger than the web feed. Ask the sheriff for the release date, release order, release reason, and transfer or hold agency. Then check the court case through Alacourt ACCESS or the Greene County Circuit Clerk, especially when bond, dismissal, sentence credit, probation, revocation, or an expungement order may explain the custody change.

The sheriff site is the county starting point, but the absence of a person from a current roster should be verified through records before being treated as a final release answer.
Question: Does Greene County publish a same-day release list? Research did not locate an official Greene County 24-hour or 72-hour release list. Use the sheriff record book, booking record, and court docket when a same-day release must be confirmed.
Greene County Court Release Proof
The court case often explains why a person left the jail. Alacourt ACCESS provides Alabama trial-court searches by name and case number, including criminal records, case status, court actions, setting dates, party information, financial history, and case action summaries. The Greene County Circuit Clerk is listed as Veronica Morton-Jones, PO Box 307, Eutaw, AL 35462, with phone 205-372-3598. The courthouse source lists 400 Morrow Avenue for Greene County court divisions.
ADOC makes the clerk's role especially important for state-prison release questions. ADOC defines jail credit as time spent in county jail before sentencing and says the circuit clerk of the sentencing county prepares that credit. If a Greene County jail stay does not seem to match an ADOC minimum release date, the clerk's sentencing order, jail-credit certification, and case action summary are the records to inspect.
The manifest includes a screenshot from Alacourt ACCESS, the Alabama trial-court search portal.
Use the court record to match the jail release event to a bond order, disposition, sentencing order, probation order, revocation, or expungement filing.
Greene County Post-Release Supervision
Parole and probation are supervision statuses, not jail roster statuses. Greene County is served by the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles Demopolis Field Office for state supervision routing. The Demopolis office is listed at 1064 Bailey Drive, Demopolis, AL 36732, main phone 334-654-8630, and hours of 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, closed state and federal holidays.
ABPP hearing pages can show scheduled parole hearings and current-year results, but a grant is not the same as the actual release date. ABPP's FAQ says a home plan must be verified and the agency coordinates with ADOC to schedule release. For the full local supervision workflow, use the Post-Release Supervision page.
Greene County also has a release-money detail in the sheriff audit. The audit says the Prisoners' Money on Deposit Fund accounts for inmate money used to buy jail store items and unused money is returned to inmates upon release. Ask the jail how property and unused inmate-account funds are returned when the person leaves custody.
Greene County VINE Federal ICE
Alabama VNS and VINELink are notification and one-person custody-status tools, but coverage matters. Alabama VNS says it is for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC prison custody. The same source tells pretrial case seekers to contact the sheriff in the county where the crime occurred. VINELink Alabama can still be used for state VINE searches and notification registration where agency data is available.
Federal and immigration custody are separate from the county jail. The BOP inmate locator can show a federal result as released or not in BOP custody, while warning that the person may still be in another justice or supervision system. ICE's ODLS applies only when immigration custody is indicated. If a Greene County record says released to ICE, the next check is ICE, not the county roster.
| System | Use it for | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Greene County sheriff | County jail release date and release order. | No separate recent-release archive was found. |
| ADOC | Current state custody and minimum release date while listed. | Public search is current-only. |
| ABPP | Parole, mandatory release, probation, absconder status, and supervision office. | A hearing result is not always a physical release date. |
| BOP | Federal release date or federal custody status. | Does not prove county jail release by itself. |
| ICE ODLS | Current immigration detention when an ICE transfer is indicated. | Not a county release list. |
Greene County Expungement Records
Alabama expungement is a court-centered path. ALEA says Alabama courts grant expungements, and Alabama Code Chapter 15-27 controls eligible petitions and procedures. If a released-inmate record, court entry, or booking photo is restricted because of an expungement or sealing order, the correct proof is the disposition, certified order, or agency correction record from the clerk or issuing agency.
This matters for stale online records. A third-party mirror may lag behind the sheriff, court, or state record. For a Greene County release, the best source is still the official release record, court disposition, ADOC or ABPP record, VINE status where covered, or registry record where a registrable offense applies. Do not use a mirror as final proof when an official record can be checked.
Question: Can an expungement remove a release record from public view? It can restrict public access to eligible records after a court order. The clerk and originating agency should be asked how that order affects the specific jail, court, or photo record.
Greene County Release Facilities
Greene County release research crosses more than one system. The county jail handles local custody events. The sheriff app is a current-custody and public-safety channel. ADOC, ABPP, VNS/VINE, courts, BOP, ICE, and the Alabama registry each answer a narrower question. Start with the facility or system that last held or supervised the person.
- Greene County Jail: county jail release record, prisoner book, booking record, and sheriff contact.
- Greene County Sheriff's Office mobile app / website inmate channel: current-inmate and public-safety app route, not a proved release archive.
- Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search: current state prison custody and release-date fields while listed.
- Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles Demopolis Field Office: local state supervision contact for Greene County.
- Alabama VNS / VINELink Alabama: notification and custody-status checks where covered.
- Alabama trial courts / Greene County Circuit and District Court: disposition, bond, sentence, jail credit, and expungement records.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator: federal custody and federal release date.
- ICE Online Detainee Locator System: current immigration custody when an ICE transfer is indicated.
- Alabama Sex Offender Registry: registry status for qualifying released offenders only.
Note: A transfer out of Greene County custody is a county release event, but it may still require a state, federal, immigration, court, or supervision record to know where the person went.
