What This Reference Covers
Alabama law, including Ala. Code Section 36-12-40, makes many public records open for inspection and copying, but a released-person search still depends on the source. In Butler County, the sheriff's office and jail are the local custody route, ADOC handles state-prison records while a person is in its custody, ABPP supervises many people after release, and federal releases belong in federal systems such as BOP. This site brings those release-record paths, status checks, and request steps together in one Butler County-focused guide.
What You Can Find Here
The pages are written for practical release confirmation, not for guessing from one database.
- Release lookup guidance through the home page, plus focused help for a release date lookup, a VINE inmate check, and post-release supervision.
- A facility page for the Butler County Correctional Facility / Butler County Jail, including the local agency and contact context.
- Plain-language direction for the sheriff app, jail phone confirmation, Alabama VINE, Alacourt ACCESS, and the ADOC inmate search.
- Records-request context for booking and release records when no public release feed is available.
What This Site Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference website. It is not connected with Sheriff David Scruggs, the Butler County Sheriff's Office, Butler County Jail, ADOC, ABPP, any court, or any other government agency.
- It cannot release, hold, move, or supervise anyone.
- It cannot post bond, arrange visitation, or send money for a reader.
- It cannot provide legal advice or interpret a court order for a specific case.
- It cannot guarantee that every address, phone number, office hour, fee, or online result remains current.
Official custody status, charges, release timing, and record copies must be verified with the agency that created or maintains the record, such as the sheriff's office, jail, court clerk, ADOC, ABPP, VINE, or the relevant federal system.
Search Tool Disclosure
Some pages may include search boxes or lookup tools operated by outside providers. Those providers control their own prices, account terms, and result sets. If a visitor uses a paid partner service from this site, the site may receive a referral fee that helps keep these local guides available.
