Pike County Inmate Roster
The Pike County Sheriff's Office inmate roster is the first official online stop for a person who may be in county custody. The sheriff's app manifest also lists Inmate Roster and Recent Releases features. At the time of the official source review, however, the roster data page displayed a notice to check back later for updates. It did not expose names, booking photos, charges, bonds, booking numbers, release dates, or search controls. That gap matters. A blank or inactive roster should not be read as proof that a person is not held at the Pike County Jail.
The Pike County inmate roster concerns county jail custody. It is not the Alabama state-prison list, a federal inmate locator, or an immigration detention database. People serving Alabama prison terms are searched through the Alabama Department of Corrections. A person recently arrested in Pike County may be at the local jail while a court charge begins in District Court or municipal court. The separate Pike County arrest records and court charges explain the court side after arrest. Custody and court status must be checked as distinct records.
Search Pike County Jail Records
Use the sheriff roster before calling, but plan for the official phone fallback. The Pike County Sheriff AL app on Google Play provides the same local public-safety setting and lists jail features alongside contacts, recent releases, mail, visitation, and deposits.
The official Google Play listing shows the Pike County Sheriff AL mobile channel.
The app gives Pike County residents another route to the roster feature when the browser page has no current entries.
- Open the official sheriff inmate roster or the Pike County Sheriff AL app. Check whether the roster has current content rather than assuming a blank page is a completed search.
- If no usable roster entries appear, call the Pike County Jail at (334) 566-4347. Give the person's full name and ask what identifying detail staff need.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections search instead. Search by the six-digit AIS number when known, or use first and last name.
- For ongoing custody alerts, use VINELink. Confirm court charges and outcomes through the court system because an inmate lookup reports custody, not a conviction.
The Apple App Store listing for Pike County Sheriff AL documents the iPhone option.
Both store links identify the same Pike County sheriff app, so users can choose the device platform they already use.
Pike County Roster Fields
The required field inventory is limited because the official Pike County inmate feature did not publish a normal search form in the captured source. The table records what was actually visible. It does not substitute common jail fields from another county.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmate Roster | App or web feature | Not stated | Official feature exists, but no search fields were exposed in the source. |
| Recent Releases | App or web feature | Not stated | Feature appears in the sheriff manifest; its field labels were not exposed. |
| Name or booking identifier | Not published | Not stated | Call the jail to learn which identifier staff require when the roster has no data. |
Pike County Profile Availability
No sample Pike County inmate profile was available in the official source. The roster did not verify the common booking fields suggested by the blank template. Each row therefore states the availability limit and the right fallback instead of promising details that may not be public.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number and date | Not exposed in the inspected roster source; ask jail staff what can be confirmed. |
| Charges | Not exposed in the roster source; court charges may be found through the Circuit Clerk or municipal court after filing. |
| Bond amount | Not exposed in the inspected source; confirm through the jail or the court handling the case. |
| Holding location | The public feature did not show a location field; call before visiting or sending mail. |
| Release information | Recent Releases is listed as a feature, but no sample fields were visible. |
| Photo or custody profile | No current public profile was available for inspection, so no display format can be verified. |
Pike County Jail Contacts
Pike County publishes separate contact blocks for the Sheriff's Office and the Pike County Jail, both on North Three Notch Street in Troy. No jail capacity was stated in the reviewed official material. The administrative hours below describe the contact offices, not visitation hours. Call the jail before making a trip.
Pike County Jail
1322 N Three Notch Street
Troy, AL 36081
(334) 566-4347
Administrative hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Pike County Sheriff's Office
1318 N Three Notch Street
Troy, AL 36081
(334) 566-4347
Administrative hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Pike County Booking Path
After an arrest in Pike County, a person may be transported to the jail at 1322 N Three Notch Street. The official research does not publish an intake checklist, classification procedure, booking timetable, or release schedule, so those details should be confirmed with jail staff. Sheriff Russell Thomas leads the office. The official divisions material names Kelley Barron as Jail Administrator, Emmanuel Giles as Assistant Jail Administrator, and Sgt. Tad Frazier in jail administration.
The court route depends on the charge. Felony cases begin in District Court and remain there until grand-jury presentation and disposition. Misdemeanors outside Troy and Brundidge city limits are District Criminal matters. City misdemeanors generally go to the relevant municipal court. A new warrant follows a probable-cause process before a Pike County magistrate. These court steps can produce records even when the jail roster lacks a public profile, but timing differs between a booking event and a filed court entry.
The sheriff's inmate communication source shows the Pike County jail mail channel.
The official communication page confirms mail, text or email, telephone, and video as ways to correspond with Pike County inmates.
Pike County Inmate Visits
The sheriff app links inmate phone and visitation service to NCIC, but Pike County did not publish visit windows, approval rules, identification requirements, dress rules, child-visitor rules, attorney-visit rules, or lockdown procedures in the inspected source. The schedule table keeps that limitation clear. Use the service link for account setup and call the jail to confirm whether a requested date and visit type are available.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday-Friday | Not published | Confirm phone or video availability through NCIC and the jail. |
| Saturday-Sunday | Not published | Weekend availability and visit type were not stated. |
| Attorney or special visit | Not published | Call the Pike County Jail for current procedure. |
Contact Pike County Inmates
Mail may be sent to the inmate at 1322 N Three Notch Street, Troy, Alabama 36081. The sheriff source does not provide a full envelope format. Include the inmate's name and a booking identifier if jail staff supply one, then call (334) 566-4347 to confirm formatting before mailing. The same official source lists text or email, telephone calls, and video visitation as communication methods, while the app routes phone and video service to NCIC. Rates, account rules, and time windows must be checked with the service and jail.
VINELink provides a separate custody-status notification channel.
Custody alerts can supplement a Pike County roster check, but court dates and charges still require confirmation from the court.
Pike County Commissary Deposits
The sheriff app's Add Money to Commissary link sends users to the VendEngine portal for Pike County jail ID 2166. No deposit cap, service fee, refund rule, approved payment method, or delivery schedule was documented in the Pike County source. Check the recipient and current fee before submitting money. The sheriff's general commissary information page also carried a check-back-later notice, so the jail phone remains the best source for current limits.
The app-linked VendEngine page is the official deposit path supplied for Pike County inmates.
The jail-specific link helps avoid sending funds through an unrelated facility portal.
Alabama Inmate Search Fallback
The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search covers people who are currently incarcerated in state prison, not Pike County jail detainees. An AIS number is a unique six-digit identifier. If entered, it overrides the name fields. First and last names may be used alone or together, and a partial last name returns names that begin with those letters. Results are capped at 50 in name order. Historical data is not online, and the search excludes people sentenced under Alabama's Youthful Offender Act.
This state database is the correct next step when a Pike County inmate has moved from local detention to an Alabama prison.
Verify Pike County Inmate Status
A Pike County inmate search may involve several time points. An arrest can occur before the sheriff roster publishes an entry. A court charge can appear after a booking, yet the person may later be released while the case remains open. A sentenced person may transfer from Pike County Jail to the Alabama prison system, which shifts the correct search from the sheriff feature to ADOC. Recent Releases in the sheriff app can help with that transition, but its captured source did not expose fields or an update schedule.
Use names with care. The Pike County source does not state whether the roster handles aliases, middle names, hyphens, or spelling variants. Jail staff may need a date of birth or another identifier, but the public source does not say which data they accept. Provide only what staff request through the official number. For an ADOC search, a known AIS number is stronger than a name because it is unique and takes priority over both name fields.
Custody status is not a verdict. A person held in Pike County may be awaiting a first appearance, bond decision, preliminary stage, municipal case, or later court action. Felony cases begin in District Court and then may move through grand-jury review. An inmate record should therefore be read as a detention record at a point in time. The court case is the source for filed charges, settings, rulings, disposition, and sentence.
Victim notification serves a different need from a one-time Pike County jail roster lookup. It can alert a registered user to custody changes, while the roster or jail confirms the current local hold and the court confirms case events. When the systems disagree, contact the Pike County Jail and the court that holds the case. Do not rely on a screenshot, an old notification, or the absence of an online name as the final word.
