Monroe County Detention Facility Overview

Monroe County Detention Facility is the only local detention facility resolved in the facility map for Monroe County. It is operated by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and serves county jail functions for people arrested by the sheriff's office, municipal police departments, state troopers, or other local agencies before bond, release, transfer, or court disposition. The research did not locate an official public web roster, an official jail website, a confirmed detention entrance address, a housing-unit chart, or a published classification plan.

The official record trail is phone-directory based. The Monroe County court directory lists the detention facility phone separately from the sheriff's number. The Alabama Secretary of State directory lists Sheriff Thomas Boatwright at the sheriff's official office address in Monroeville. That source is stronger than third-party jail directories, so the page uses the official sheriff address and clear phone-verification language rather than publishing unconfirmed street addresses for the jail entrance.

Monroe County Detention Facility Population

Official sources did not publish the Monroe County Detention Facility rated capacity or current daily population. Unofficial jail-directory pages repeat a 48-bed number, but that figure was not found on an official county, sheriff, state, BJS, or Jail Data Initiative page during research. The safest use of population data is to state that the official capacity and average daily population were not located, then direct person-specific custody questions to the detention facility.

For broader context, ADOC's statewide inmate search page displayed 27,601 total state prisoners in the May 27, 2026 crawl context. That number does not describe Monroe County Detention Facility. It describes sentenced state prisoners in ADOC custody after transfer from county jail or direct state intake.

Look Up Monroe County Detention Facility Custody

No official Monroe County browser roster was located. The county lookup method is therefore a phone and app workflow. The sheriff publishes an official Monroe CSO mobile app, and visible store reviews mention recent-arrest or inmate functions, but the public store description does not publish a roster search form or sample inmate profile. Treat the app as an official sheriff communication channel, then verify custody by phone.

1. Call Monroe County Detention Facility at 251-575-2635 and provide the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency.
2. If staff cannot locate the person or the line is unavailable, call the sheriff's office and jail information number at 251-575-2963.
3. Ask whether the person is currently housed, has posted bond, was released, transferred to ADOC, or is held under another agency's detainer.
4. Check the official Monroe CSO app for sheriff-published updates, but do not rely on app review comments as a guaranteed roster feature.
5. Use ADOC inmate search, BOP inmate locator, or ICE ODLS if the case is no longer in county jail custody.

Monroe County Detention Facility Contact

The detention facility phone is the best official contact for current custody, visit checks, mail questions, and deposit rules. For in-person records requests or sheriff office business, use the official sheriff office address from the Alabama Secretary of State directory unless the detention facility confirms a different jail-front-counter address by phone.

The Alabama Secretary of State county-official directory provides the official sheriff address and phone used for this Monroe County custody contact block.

That directory source confirms the sheriff office contact, but it does not publish the jail's visitor entrance, capacity, or visitation schedule.

Visit Monroe County Detention Facility

Official Monroe County detention visitation rules were not located. Do not assume a schedule from third-party jail pages or another Alabama county. Before traveling, call the detention facility and ask whether the person is eligible for visits, whether visitors must be pre-approved, what government identification is accepted, whether minors may visit, and whether visits are in person or video. Ask about attorney visits separately because legal visits may follow a different process.

Note: Confirm visit approval, ID rules, dress code, and lockdown status with the detention facility before making the trip.

Mail and Money at Monroe County Detention Facility

Official jail mail rules, commissary vendor, phone vendor, money-deposit channels, and fee schedules were not located. That is an important limit because many jail-service vendors are county-specific. Do not send money or mail based on a vendor name copied from an unrelated jail. Call Monroe County Detention Facility first and ask for the exact inmate name format, booking or inmate ID if used, mailing address format, allowed paper and photo rules, and deposit options.

Once a Monroe County defendant is sentenced and moved to ADOC, county jail mail and money rules no longer apply. Use the ADOC facility location and statewide ADOC mail, visitation, and deposit rules instead.

Booking at Monroe County Detention Facility

Monroe-specific booking steps were not published online, so the safest description is a general Alabama county-jail process. After arrest, a person may be transported to Monroe County Detention Facility or processed first by a municipal agency. Intake usually includes identity checks, warrants or holds review, property inventory, fingerprints, a booking photograph when policy requires it, medical or safety screening, charge entry, bond or hold review, and classification for housing.

Booking entries are not the same as final court charges. Jail staff record custody information from arrest paperwork and court orders. Prosecutors decide what formal charges are filed later, and those charges appear in court records through the clerk or Alacourt. If the detention facility says a person has no current Monroe County booking, check whether the arrest was municipal, state, federal, immigration-related, or already transferred to ADOC.

Classification

A jail housing and safety review based on security, medical, mental-health, gender, separation needs, and space.

No-bond hold

A custody status where release on bond is not available unless a judge changes the order.

Detainer

A hold or notice from another jurisdiction or agency that can delay release.

About Monroe County Detention Facility

No official Monroe County page was found for jail programs, facility history, construction date, accreditation, housing units, PREA policy, grievance process, medical provider, mental-health provider, or reentry services. The official court phone directory lists Southwest Alabama Mental Health as a local phone contact, but research did not document it as a jail provider. For urgent medical or mental-health concerns about a person in custody, call the detention facility directly.

Monroe County's local record nuance often involves the split between sheriff, municipal police, magistrate, and court records. The official warrant page says unserved arrest warrants are not public records, and a suspected subject must appear in person at the sheriff's office. It also sends many misdemeanor matters inside Monroeville and Excel city limits to municipal court unless a felony or extraordinary circumstance is involved.
