This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office directly.
Official Offices for Records and Custody
Use the office that holds the type of information you need. The two Dunn Street phone numbers serve different purposes.
Marengo County Sheriff's Office
101 Dunn Street, Linden, AL 36748
Office: (334) 295-4208
Fax: (334) 295-2226
Marengo County Detention Center
101 Dunn Street, Linden, AL 36748
Custody, bail, visitation, and arrest questions: (334) 295-2257
Marengo County Circuit Clerk
101 E. Coats Avenue, Linden, AL 36748
Office: (334) 295-2224
Published hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The sheriff does not publish a separate records-unit phone, records email, fee schedule, or booking-photo form. Ask the office to identify the records custodian before sending a request. Confirm court routing before travel because public directories show different clerk numbers.
- For a booking record or photograph, follow the request steps on the home page.
- For a fresh arrest, call the detention center, then the arresting police agency if processing is incomplete.
- For a wider date range, use the Weekly Arrest Log guide and request the record rather than expecting a live blotter.
- For release notifications, review the VINELink Inmate Check and its Marengo coverage limits.
- For a court result, contact the Circuit Clerk or use Alabama's Just One Look service.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search.
Before Visiting or Calling
Have the person's full name, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency, and booking or case number if known. Facility rules can change. The sheriff's published jail information lists different visitation periods for men and women and asks visitors to sign in 30 minutes early, so confirm the current rule before travel. Emergency matters belong with 911, but 911 must not be used for warrant or routine custody checks.
