Official Morgan County Contacts
The Morgan County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail and roster. Its office is at 119 Lee Street NE, Decatur, AL 35601. Call 256-351-4800 for the main office, 256-351-4825 for the jail, or 256-350-4613 for non-emergency dispatch. Published administrative hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 8:00 a.m. to noon. Choose the route that matches the question:
- Use the county records hub to find a mugshot, read the roster and release instructions, or prepare a booking-record request.
- Use Most Wanted Fugitives for the official warrant database, wanted-page status, tip route, and safe warrant resolution steps.
- Check the current roster for present custody and the 48-hour release view for a very recent release. VINE provides release, transfer, and escape alerts.
- Ask Morgan County Jail about a county booking. No separate facility page exists because the full jail and roster treatment is on the home page.
- Use the Alabama Department of Corrections offender search for a person currently incarcerated in state prison after sentencing.
- Use the Bureau of Prisons locator for federal custody or the ICE detainee locator for immigration detention. Those systems are separate from Morgan County Jail.
For Morgan Circuit and District Court files, the Circuit Clerk's Criminal and Traffic Division is reached at 256-351-4790, option 2. The sheriff and jail can answer current custody questions, while the clerk holds the later case record and disposition.
