Official Russell County Offices
For a Russell County jail release, start with the office that controls the record. The sheriff and jail handle county custody records. The court record can show the bond order, disposition, sentence, probation order, dismissal, or other event that explains why a person left custody.

State Release Contacts
Use state contacts when the person was sentenced to Alabama prison custody, is under state supervision, or needs a state notification record. ADOC's public inmate search is current-custody focused, so a past release may require VNS, ABPP, court records, or an ADOC public-record request.

Where to Look First
The right contact depends on the custody path. A county jail release is not checked the same way as an ADOC discharge, a parole case, a federal sentence, or an immigration transfer.
- For a released inmate or county release record, use the home page search path and then contact the jail or sheriff records staff.
- For post-release supervision, use probation and parole and the ABPP Phenix City Field Office.
- For same-day release questions, use Jail Releases: 24 Hours and confirm with the jail because Russell County's public feed is current custody, not a release archive.
- For a release date or alert, use projected release, VINELink inmate search, and VINELink Alabama.
- For court disposition, sentence, dismissal, or probation orders, use the Russell County Judicial Center or AlaCourt Access.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
