Lookup Pike County Jail Inmates

Pike County Jail Overview

Pike County Jail is operated by the Pike County Sheriff's Office. The official contact feed lists the jail separately from the Sheriff's Office, with the jail at 1322 N Three Notch Street and the Sheriff's Office at 1318 N Three Notch Street in Troy. Sheriff Russell Thomas leads the office, and the official divisions feed names Jail Administrator Kelley Barron, Assistant Jail Administrator Emmanuel Giles, and Sgt. Tad Frazier as public-facing jail administration.

The jail holds Pike County pretrial detainees, county-sentenced misdemeanor inmates, people arrested by Troy Police Department and Brundidge Police Department, ALEA arrests, probation and parole holds, failure-to-appear defendants, courtesy holds, court-order custody, and state prisoners temporarily housed locally. The 2025 state audit confirms the sheriff receives state-prisoner feeding allowances for state prisoners housed in the county jail, which explains why a person may be in the jail even if state custody is part of the case.

Pike County Jail Population

The current public population indicator is the official inmate roster feed. It can be counted for a same-day snapshot, but it is not an average daily population report. The research file did not locate a current rated capacity for the new Pike County Jail in sheriff, county, or ADOC official pages. Older figures for 40, 45, or 60 beds describe the prior 1957 jail and should not be used as a new-jail capacity.

WSFA reported that jail and courthouse operations moved to the newer North Three Notch Street complex on August 14, 2023. The same report said the old jail was built for 40 men and held 126 people shortly before the move, with limited space for women. That is a historical overcrowding fact, not a current new-jail headcount.

Search Pike County Jail Inmates

The correct lookup system for Pike County Jail is the sheriff's county roster, not ADOC, BOP, or ICE. The public website route at the Pike County roster page renders through JavaScript, and the official OCV feed backs the current inmate cards. The Pike County Sheriff AL app is also an official route if the browser page fails or the user needs the app-style roster.

1. Open the sheriff website or app and choose Inmate / Jail Information, then Inmate Roster.
2. Search by last name because the cards usually show names in LAST, FIRST order.
3. Open the card and copy the booking number, booking date, charge lines, and bond entries.
4. Check Recent Releases if the person was just released or transferred from the current list.
5. Use ADOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink only when county custody no longer appears to be the right system.

The official sheriff roster route is the public web entry for Pike County Jail inmate search. The captured roster page is useful because it shows the sheriff route, while the OCV feed supplies the card data behind it.

Pike County Jail Address

The jail and sheriff addresses are close but not identical in the official contact data. Use the jail address for jail mail, inmate communication, and facility questions. Use the sheriff address when sending a written records request to the Sheriff's Office. For court payments or court records, Pike Alacourt traffic instructions use the Pike County Judicial Complex address at 1318 N Three Notch Street.

Pike County Jail Visitation

Official local visitation details are limited. The sheriff app links "Inmate Phone and Visitation" to NCIC, and the inmate communication page says citizens may correspond with inmates by mail, texts or email, telephone calls, and video visitation. The reviewed sheriff data did not post a local in-person visitation schedule, remote video schedule, visit length, ID rule, dress code, or on-site kiosk schedule.

Call Pike County Jail before traveling for visitation. The official facility-rules page was a placeholder during research, and the new judicial complex has security screening features reported by WSFA. Visitors should bring government-issued photo ID unless the jail says otherwise and should avoid carrying unnecessary items into the complex.

Pike County Jail Mail and Money

The official inmate communication page says inmates can receive mail at 1322 N Three Notch Street, Troy, Alabama 36081. It does not publish a required name and booking-number format, but including the inmate's full name and booking number when known is the most practical way to reduce misrouting. The page did not post book, photo, package, or legal-mail rules, so those should be verified before anything is sent.

The sheriff app links "Add Money to Commissary" to VendEngine for Pike County Jail. The 2025 state audit confirms a jail store fund, prisoner money-on-deposit fund, jail store profits and commissions, and inmate withdrawals. The same audit found prisoner-money accounting issues for the audited period, so dollar figures from that audit should be described as accounting findings, not as current individual fees.

Pike County Jail Booking Intake

A Pike County booking begins when a person is brought to the jail by the sheriff, Troy Police Department, Brundidge Police Department, ALEA, probation or parole officers, or another agency. During intake, the jail creates a booking number, records booking date and time, captures demographics, takes a booking photo, records the arresting agency, enters charge descriptions, and adds bond amounts when available. Those fields match what appears in the current inmate feed.

The public roster does not show housing unit, pod, cell, court date, statute number, warrant number, medical status, or final case disposition. WSFA reported that the new complex has medical rooms and multiple cells with different security levels, but those are facility features, not public roster fields. If bond is listed as N/A or the arrest agency is N/A, call the jail before assuming what the label means.

Booking number

A local jail identifier for that booking event.

Bond amount

A per-charge money amount or N/A line that must be verified with jail or court staff.

Failure to appear

A missed court date that can lead to a warrant and jail booking.

Probation or parole hold

A supervision-related hold that may prevent release even when other charges have bond.

About Pike County Jail

Pike County Jail is part of the newer North Three Notch judicial-complex build-out. WSFA reported that Pike County moved jail and courthouse operations into the new complex on August 14, 2023. The report described the complex as including courtrooms, a forensic lab, evidence room, upgraded security, body scanner, cells with different security levels, kitchen, laundry, medical rooms, outside exercise rooms, and a tunnel that helps move inmates between courtrooms and cells.

The sheriff's official press-release gallery also includes jail and prosecution material, including a 2025 title about a women's entrepreneurship program graduation at Pike County Jail. The research did not locate a jail handbook, grievance procedure, PREA posting, local work-release details, GED schedule, or detailed facility-rules page in the official sheriff app data. Those gaps should be resolved by calling the jail rather than relying on third-party jail listings.
