Coffee County Jail Search Limits
The official Coffee County pages reviewed did not publish a searchable county jail roster. The county directory lists the County Jail in New Brockton, and the Sheriff's Office pages list the sheriff address and administrative phone, but they do not provide a public web booking database, mugshot gallery, bond table, housing list, or release-date search. Because the research did not confirm those fields, Coffee County inmate records should not be described as if they are available in a county web portal.
For current local custody, call the jail directly. The directory identifies the Coffee County Jail at 1133 E. McKinnon Street, New Brockton, AL 36351, phone (334) 894-6200. It also names Shane Bryan as Jail Administrator at the same phone number, extension 1246. The Sheriff's Office administrative number is (334) 894-5535, and the sheriff office is at the same New Brockton address. Those contacts are the official path for custody status, booking questions, visitation rules, and mail or money questions that are not published online.
The assigned county jail image comes from the official county directory entry. The Coffee County Jail directory page is the official source for the jail address, phone, and jail administrator listing.
The directory confirms the local jail contact, but it does not publish a full Coffee County jail roster online.
Coffee County Jail Contact
Use the jail contact when the question is about local custody, recent arrest, booking status, release, mail, visitation, commissary, or whether a person is being held after a warrant arrest. Use the Sheriff's Office administrative contact for broader sheriff records, public-safety communication, or law enforcement routing. The same New Brockton address appears for both jail and sheriff records access, but the phone number depends on the question.

Use Coffee County Inmate Channels
Because the official pages reviewed do not show a county web roster, the practical search path is a channel check rather than a single form search. Start local for recent arrests and current Coffee County custody. Move to ADOC only after a person is in state prison custody. Move to the federal locator only when the person is in federal custody or the case is federal.
This local-first order also helps avoid mixing arrest, custody, and court-charge records. A person can be booked into the Coffee County Jail before a public court case is easy to find online, and a person can later move from local custody to ADOC or federal custody after sentencing or transfer. Use the jail phone for current local status, then use the Circuit Clerk or court records channel when the question is about filed charges, hearings, or case outcomes.
- Call the Coffee County Jail for current local custody and ask what identifying information staff need to confirm status.
- Use the Sheriff's Office number for sheriff records, warrant service, public-safety questions, or app-related communication.
- Check the official Coffee County Sheriff app only for features documented or confirmed by the sheriff; app-store text confirms tips, crime reporting, and public-safety information.
- Use ADOC inmate search for sentenced Alabama prison custody, not for every recent county arrest.
- Use the BOP locator for federal inmates, federal sentences, or federal custody questions.
- For charges after arrest, check the court case channel because a jail custody question is not the same as a complete court file.
Note: ADOC and BOP searches are fallback custody channels, not substitutes for the Coffee County Jail when the person may still be held locally.
Coffee County ADOC Inmate Search
ADOC inmate search is separate from the Coffee County jail. The Alabama Department of Corrections states that its database only contains currently incarcerated inmates and that historical data is not available online. The AIS number controls a search when entered, and first and last name are ignored if AIS is used. Name searches can be used separately or together, and name fields are open-ended, so partial beginning letters may return matches. ADOC limits results to 50 at a time and excludes inmates sentenced under the Youthful Offender Act.
The ADOC screenshot assigned to this page comes from the official state inmate-search page. The Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search is the correct channel for current state prison custody after a person has moved beyond county jail custody.
That state lookup helps with ADOC custody, but it will not show a complete Coffee County jail history or every local booking.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIS # | Text/number | Optional | Unique six-digit Alabama Institutional Serial number; takes precedence when entered. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Ignored if AIS is entered; can be used alone or with last name. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Open-ended search; beginning letters can return matching last names. |
| Search | Button | Yes to submit | ADOC limits displayed matches to 50 results. |
Coffee County Inmate Profile Fields
No official Coffee County sample inmate profile was available from the public county or sheriff pages reviewed. The field inventory therefore must be limited to ADOC public-result concepts for sentenced state inmates and to local contact routing for the county jail. Do not assume Coffee County publishes mugshots, booking numbers, bond amounts, pods, projected release dates, or charge rows online unless the jail or sheriff confirms it.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| AIS number | The Alabama Institutional Serial number used by ADOC for state prison inmates. |
| Name | The name returned in a state inmate search result. |
| Institution or current location | The ADOC facility or state custody location shown after a successful search. |
| Current-incarceration status | Whether the person appears in the current ADOC database, subject to ADOC limits. |
| Youthful offender exclusion | ADOC states youthful-offender sentenced inmates are excluded from online results. |
| County jail status | Not published as a confirmed web profile field; call the Coffee County Jail for local custody. |
Coffee County Sheriff App
The Coffee County Sheriff's Office promotes an official mobile app. App-store descriptions identify the app as an interactive tool to improve communication with residents, allowing users to report crimes, submit tips, use other interactive features, and receive public-safety news and information. The public app-store descriptions do not confirm a jail roster module, active-warrant lookup, or records request tool, so those features should not be claimed without checking the app or confirming with the sheriff.
- App name: Coffee County Sheriff (AL).
- Google Play developer: OCV, LLC.
- Apple developer: Coffee County Sheriff's Office (AL).
- Documented features: report crimes, submit tips, interactive features, and public-safety news.
- Emergency warning: the app is not intended for emergency reporting; call 911 in an emergency.
Federal Inmate Search Fallback
Federal inmate records are not Coffee County jail records. A person held by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, or a person sentenced in a federal case, should be searched through the federal locator. Coffee County is within the federal Middle District of Alabama, but federal custody and county custody remain separate systems. A federal result does not answer whether a person had a Coffee County booking, and a county jail call will not replace the federal locator for BOP custody.
The assigned federal image comes from the official federal locator. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for federal custody rather than Coffee County jail records.
The BOP locator is a custody fallback for federal prisoners; it does not publish local Coffee County jail visitation or booking rules.
Coffee County Jail Visitation
Official Coffee County pages reviewed did not publish detailed jail visitation hours, mail rules, commissary vendor, money deposit portal, phone or video provider, attorney visitation hours, dress code, visitor approval rules, tablet program, or inmate mail format. That is a research gap, but it is also useful for readers because it prevents reliance on unofficial jail sites that may be stale or not county controlled.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Use This Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Not published in official pages reviewed | Call the jail before arrival. |
| Video visits | Not published | Do not name a vendor without jail confirmation. |
| Visitor ID | Not published | Ask the jail what identification is required. |
| Dress code | Not published | Call before visiting and do not assume rules from another county. |
| Children | Not published | Call for minor visitor rules. |
| Not published | Ask for envelope, package, and inmate-identification rules. | |
| Money deposits | Not published | Do not name a deposit vendor without jail confirmation. |
| Attorney visits | Not published | Attorneys should contact the jail directly. |
Call the Coffee County Jail before visiting or mailing anything. Ask for current visitor approval rules, ID requirements, dress code, visit times, mail format, money-deposit vendor, and attorney-visit procedures.
For mail and money questions, the same rule applies. The official research did not identify a commissary vendor, electronic deposit service, tablet vendor, phone provider, or video-visit provider. Naming a common jail vendor from another county would be inaccurate for Coffee County. Ask the jail whether deposits are accepted in person, by mail, online, or through a vendor, and ask whether mail must include a specific inmate number or housing detail before sending anything.
For attorney contact, do not rely on general visitor rules. The research did not publish attorney visitation hours or procedures, so attorneys should contact the jail directly before visiting a Coffee County inmate. Family members should also call before traveling to New Brockton because the researched pages do not provide public visit times or approval rules.
Coffee County Booking and Court Records
A booking or custody question is not the same as a court case record. A person may be arrested, booked, released, transferred, charged in District Criminal, indicted later in Circuit Court, or appear in a municipal case depending on the facts. The jail can address custody. The Circuit Clerk can address District Court and Circuit Court records. Enterprise Municipal Court can address its municipal ticket or ordinance matters. For the arrest-to-charge path, see the Coffee County arrest records and court charges channel.
Coffee County's District Criminal research explains that misdemeanors, worthless checks, conservation tickets, revenue commission tickets, ABC violations, and the initial stage of felony cases may begin in District Criminal. Felonies remain there until presented to and disposed of by a grand jury. That means a recent jail contact may lead to a District Criminal record first, while an indicted felony later belongs in Circuit Court. The Circuit Clerk is the record keeper for both District and Circuit Court proceedings.
Traffic and municipal matters can also affect custody records. The Coffee County Traffic Court research states that failure to pay or otherwise dispose of a citation before court, followed by failure to appear, can result in a warrant. Enterprise Municipal Court instructions also warn of arrest risk for failing to appear. If custody follows a warrant arrest, the jail can address whether the person is held, while the court that issued the warrant controls the case file and next court action.
Local routing: use the jail for custody, the sheriff for sheriff records, ADOC for state prison custody, and BOP for federal custody.
