Cullman County Inmate Population is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post bond, schedule visitation, or obtain an official booking record for you. For those actions, contact the jail, sheriff's office, clerk, municipal court, or other record custodian directly.
Where to Start for Jail, Court, and Record Questions
Use the office that controls the record you need. The sheriff and detention center are on Beech Ave SE, while court records are handled through the courthouse or the Cullman Municipal Court system.
- Cullman County Detention Center: 1900 Beech Ave SE, Cullman, AL 35055; 256-735-2400. Use this number for current jail custody and detention-center questions.
- Cullman County Sheriff's Office: 1910 Beech Ave SE, Cullman, AL 35055; 256-734-0342. The sheriff's Records Division manages and disseminates reports generated by the Sheriff's Office.
- Secret Witness: 256-734-0210. This is an anonymous criminal-activity tip line, not an inmate lookup line.

- Cullman Municipal Court: 204 2nd Ave NE, Cullman, AL 35055; 256-775-7136. Hours are 8AM to 4PM, Monday through Friday. Its records request form allows two weeks for processing and lists copy, archived-search, certification, and card-payment fees.
For Alabama public-record requests, useful statutes include Ala. Code Sections 36-12-40, 36-12-41, 36-12-43, and 36-12-44. Some records may still be restricted, including expunged records under Section 15-27-7 and juvenile records under Section 12-15-133.
For common lookup needs, these pages explain which channel fits the request.
- For a person believed to be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the detention center phone line.
- For booking-photo questions, use jail roster mugshots and the sheriff records route rather than a commercial mugshot site.
- For charges filed after a booking, use court records after a jail arrest, Alacourt, the Circuit Clerk, or Municipal Court depending on jurisdiction.
- For the physical jail page, use the Cullman County Detention Center link in the Facilities column below.
- For a sentenced Alabama prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search instead of the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, U.S. Marshals contact path, or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
