Marshall County Jail Inmate Lookup

Marshall County Jail Overview

The official sheriff corrections page identifies the facility as Marshall County Jail, also reflected in the roster system as the Marshall County Sheriff's Office Detention Center. The jail is operated by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office at 423 Blount Ave. in Guntersville, directly in the county government and courthouse area. The official jail page says the facility houses pre-sentenced and sentenced individuals, so the population includes people awaiting court action, people held after arrest, and people serving local jail sentences.

The sheriff site publishes several practical custody channels for this jail: the current inmate roster, profile pages with booking details, remote visitation through Inmate Sales, commissary deposits through JailATM, telephone-money deposits through Inmate Sales, scanned personal mail through a Jonesboro, Arkansas processing address, and legal-mail handling at the facility. County personnel materials list Phil Sims as Sheriff's Department head and Jason Bremer as Jail department head. Capacity, housing unit names, security level, construction year, and formal accreditation were not located on official sheriff or county pages, so those details should be treated as unpublished unless the jail confirms them directly.

The official Marshall County Sheriff's Office Corrections page is the source for the jail's custody services and rules.

The captured page is useful because it keeps the custody, visitation, mail, money, and bond details together instead of splitting them across separate vendor pages.

Marshall County Jail Capacity and Population

Official sheriff and county pages inspected for this project did not publish a rated bed capacity or a stable average daily population for Marshall County Jail. The current roster count changes as people are booked, released, transferred, or moved to state custody. During the May 27, 2026 research inspection, the sheriff current roster title showed 358 current inmates. That number is a dated roster snapshot, not an official rated capacity and not a long-term average.

A 2025 local news report described an expansion project and reported both a lower effective capacity figure and a jail population above 350, but those details came from news coverage rather than the official jail page. For an official-source facility page, the safer approach is to state that capacity was not published and to use the live roster only as a current custody indicator.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Marshall County Jail

The correct online lookup for this facility is the sheriff's current inmate roster at marshallso.org. The roster is for current county jail custody. It should not be confused with the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search, which covers sentenced state prisoners after transfer to ADOC, or with the federal BOP and ICE locators, which cover separate federal custody systems.

1. Open the official Marshall County current inmate roster from the sheriff website.
2. Search by name or scan the booking-time sorted list if the spelling is uncertain.
3. Confirm that the profile is a current inmate profile and not a released-roster or most-wanted record.
4. Open the profile for booking number, age, gender, race, arresting agency, booking date, charges when listed, and bond notes.

The sheriff's roster gateway also includes a disclaimer. It tells users that roster information is not the official record and that bond companies or anyone posting bail should call the Detention Center for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. That matters in Marshall County because bond, court, and clerk workflows can involve the jail at 423 Blount Ave. and the nearby courthouse offices at 424 Blount Ave.

The official current inmate roster shows searchable cards, profile links, mugshots, booking fields, and current custody status.

Use the roster as a lookup starting point, then call the jail for release timing, bond totals, and any details that could change after the page refreshes.

Marshall County Jail Address and Contact

The sheriff contact page gives the 24-hour office phone as 256-582-2034 and administrative office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The jail and sheriff's office sit in downtown Guntersville near the Marshall County Courthouse. Use the phone line for custody confirmation, release questions, bond checks, and time-sensitive information. For emergencies, call 911. For crime tips, the sheriff lists 256-571-7851.

Visiting Someone at Marshall County Jail

Marshall County Jail visitation is remote. The official corrections page says all visits are subject to monitoring and recording. Visits are scheduled online at inmatesales.com or through the visitation kiosk in the front lobby. The sheriff page specifically says visits cannot be scheduled by calling the Sheriff's Office phone. The listed remote visitation cost is $0.20 per minute, paid by the visitor. The Sheriff's Office may terminate, suspend, or cancel visits without notice for safety or security, and visitors who act inappropriately may be suspended from visitation.

Friends and family support for visitation is listed as 702-829-3001, and video visit support and scheduling is listed as 859-334-0959. Attorney visit schedules were not located in the captured official material.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Marshall County Jail

Marshall County Jail has distinct channels for commissary money, phone money, and routine personal mail. JailATM is the commissary-money path. Inmate Sales is the remote visitation and telephone-money path. Beginning December 1, 2024, inmate mail sent directly to the facility is not accepted for routine personal correspondence. Mail sent after November 25, 2024 should use the Jonesboro, Arkansas scanning address so it can be scanned into the inmate's JailATM communication account.

Legal mail is treated differently. The jail accepts legal mail at the facility when it is from the attorney of record, clearly marked "Private Legal Mail," and includes the inmate's name. Books are accepted only when mailed directly from a vendor or publisher. Used books, used religious books, personal bibles, family bibles, and used religious texts are not accepted under the captured policy. Personal correspondence mixed with legal or business mail may be destroyed, so keep mail categories separate.

Booking and Intake at Marshall County Jail

For county and local arrests, booking places the person into the Marshall County jail custody system and creates the record that may later appear on the sheriff roster. A roster profile can show a booking number, booking date, arresting agency, demographic fields, and charge information when available. Those fields are useful for identification, but they are not a substitute for court records. Case filings, certified records, and court status may require the Marshall County Circuit Clerk, municipal court, or Alacourt Access depending on the charge.

People sentenced to Alabama Department of Corrections custody may eventually leave the county jail. After transfer, the county roster may no longer be the right system. Use the ADOC inmate search by AIS number or name for currently incarcerated state prisoners. Federal custody and immigration custody are separate still; those lookups use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.

About Marshall County Jail

The Marshall County Jail is one part of a compact downtown Guntersville justice corridor. The sheriff and jail address is 423 Blount Ave., while the county courthouse and Circuit Clerk's Guntersville office are listed at 424 Blount Avenue. That layout matters for practical follow-up: custody questions start with the jail, case records and court dates may route to the clerk or Alacourt, and bond questions may require confirmation with the detention center before payment.

The sheriff also publishes the Marshall County Sheriff AL app for public-safety information, crime reporting, tips, and other interactive features. The app is not for emergencies. The official store descriptions did not verify an app-only inmate roster feature, so the web roster remains the documented public lookup for jail custody.
