Fayette County Jail Roster
The official Fayette County inmate lookup is app-forward rather than a traditional county search page. The Fayette County Sheriff's Office uses an OCV-powered site and app, and the public route for inmate information is the sheriff's Inmates feature. The direct OCV feed behind that feature is the official Fayette County inmate feed. Research found the current feed open without a login, but the raw endpoint is a feed of entries, not a normal form with a name search box.
The sheriff app manifest describes the feature as a way to view inmates booked in the correctional facility. It is configured as a real-time jail booking feed, sorted by date descending in the app view, with list and sort behavior controlled by the app. A feed snapshot during research showed visible entries, booking fields, charge text, and image arrays. That count should be treated as a live roster snapshot, not as a certified daily population report. For custody status that is not clear online, the fallback is the sheriff's public phone line or an in-person question at the administrative office.
The county roster is the right first stop for people held at Fayette County Jail. It is not the right system for someone already transferred to Alabama Department of Corrections custody, a federal sentenced inmate, or a person in ICE detention. Those searches move to ADOC, BOP, or ICE systems.
Use Fayette County Inmate Records
Because the Fayette County jail roster is published as an OCV app and web feed, the most reliable path is to start with the sheriff's own navigation. The app menu labels the area "Inmate Information" and then "Inmates." The raw JSON feed can show the same custody entries, but it does not offer a conventional search, reset, or submit button. A name may need to be found by reviewing the list or using browser find tools after the feed opens.
- Open the sheriff's website or the Fayette County Sheriff Alabama app, then choose Inmate Information and Inmates.
- Review the current list, which the app configuration sorts with newer entries first.
- Open the listed person if the app gives a detail view, or read the entry content in the public feed.
- Compare name spelling, booking number, booking date, charge text, and image status before relying on the match.
- If no entry appears, check whether the person was released, moved to ADOC, held federally, held by ICE, or booked under a different spelling.
- Call the sheriff's office at (205) 932-3205 when the feed does not answer a current custody question.
For state prisoners, use the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search. For federal sentenced custody, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS. Fayette County research did not locate a local BOP prison, ICE detention center, or ADOC prison in the county.
Fayette County Roster Fields
The Fayette County feed is best described as a list and profile feed. The official source does not publish a text-entry search form inside the raw JSON endpoint. The table below reflects the roster controls and fields captured from the sheriff app manifest and feed behavior, which matters because many users expect a last-name search box that is not present in the raw feed.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmates list | Feed/list | Not applicable | Official OCV feed with current entries, not a user-entered raw search field. |
| Sort | Sort control | Optional or app-controlled | Manifest shows sort by date descending and showSort enabled. |
| App list limit | Display config | Not applicable | Manifest lists a limit of 10 for the app view. |
| Full entry open | List/detail behavior | Optional | App routes can open entries by internal ID, while raw JSON includes content inline. |
| Buttons | App UI control | Unspecified | The app exposes Inmates navigation; the raw endpoint has no Search, Reset, or Submit button. |
The official app manifest shows why the roster behaves like an app feature. It lists Inmate Information, Inmates, Jail, Jail Visitation, alerts, tips, and other sheriff services under one public app system.
The manifest screenshot in the project image set shows the app-backed feature inventory and confirms that the roster path belongs to the Fayette sheriff's OCV system.
That app structure explains why the public user may see roster entries even though the raw feed is not a conventional database search screen.
Fayette County Inmate Profile
A Fayette County inmate profile is a compact booking record, not a full jail-management file. Inspected entries showed enough to identify the person, compare basic descriptors, and read the public charge text. They did not show several fields that larger jail systems sometimes publish, including bond amount, bond type, housing unit, arresting agency, court date, release date, statute number, charge class, or court case number.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name/title | Person's name, usually last name first. |
| Booking Number | Numeric local booking number assigned in the county feed. |
| Age, gender, and race | Basic identifying fields, with race shown as a code in inspected records. |
| Hair, eyes, height, weight | Physical descriptors used to compare possible matches. |
| Booking Date | Date and time as published in the feed entry. |
| Charges | Plain-text charge or custody basis, sometimes abbreviated. |
| Images | Either a missing-photo placeholder or a booking-photo URL when published. |
| Status and internal ID | OCV feed status and internal record identifier, not a court case number. |
| Not shown | Bond, housing unit, court date, arresting agency, warrant number, statute code, or disposition. |
Note: A Fayette County booking entry is a custody record, not proof of a conviction or final court charge.
Fayette County Custody Channels
Fayette County inmate records should be checked through the right custody system. The sheriff's feed covers people booked in the correctional facility and can include those charged and awaiting trial, people arrested on warrants, county jail sentences, parole or probation holds, municipal-court sentences, people waiting for ADOC or Community Corrections beds, and holds for other agencies. That does not mean every person with a Fayette County case remains in the county jail.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail custody | Fayette sheriff Inmates feature and OCV feed | People booked or held at Fayette County Jail. |
| Phone fallback | (205) 932-3205 | Current custody questions not answered online. |
| In person | 113 1st Ave NW, Fayette, AL 35555 | Administrative counter questions during posted office hours. |
| Public records | Sheriff's office by phone or in person | Booking records or mugshots not visible online; no local form was found. |
| State prison | ADOC inmate search | Sentenced state prisoners after transfer from county jail. |
| Federal custody | BOP locator or U.S. Marshals district context | Federal sentenced inmates or federal pretrial custody questions. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | Current ICE detainee search where eligible. |
VINELink Alabama is another useful channel because it supports custody-status searches and notifications where available. It should not be treated as a substitute for the jail when a family member needs immediate bond, visit, or property instructions.
Fayette County Jail Contact
The county's primary detention facility is Fayette County Jail, operated by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office. The public contact information in the research uses the same address and main phone for sheriff and jail-related questions. The sheriff's official sources did not publish a separate booking desk number, jail lobby number, jail commander contact, or public records fee schedule.
Fayette County Jail
113 1st Ave NW
Fayette, AL 35555
(205) 932-3205
Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. CST
Sheriff Byron Yerby is named in the official staff source, and the administrative page identifies Kayla Ellis as an administrative contact. For booking records, jail records, or a mugshot not visible in the feed, the practical path is to call or visit the sheriff's administrative office and ask how the office accepts Alabama public-records requests.
Fayette County Booking Records
Official Fayette sources do not publish a full intake manual. The local jail page does define who the jail holds, and that helps explain the roster. A person may be arrested by the sheriff, a municipal police department, or another agency, then booked into Fayette County Jail when the sheriff is the holding agency. Staff create the local booking record, assign or update the booking number, record descriptors, enter charges or custody basis, and may publish an image through the OCV feed.
After intake, the person may remain pretrial, appear before a court for release conditions, serve a county sentence, sit on a warrant, wait for transfer, or stay under another agency hold. The sheriff jail page states that pretrial confinement is not punishment and is used to assure that the arrestee appears in court. Sentenced inmates are a different group. That distinction matters when reading charge text because a roster entry does not show final guilt, final case status, or the court disposition.
Fayette County Jail Visitation
The sheriff app links Jail Visitation to iWebVisit, and research also located a Fayette County Jail route in the vendor flow. The vendor login is an account and scheduling channel, not the jail's complete public rulebook. Fayette official sources did not publish a local visit schedule, visit length, remote versus on-site rule, dress code, child visitor rule, attorney visit process, or holiday schedule.
| Topic | Fayette County Source Result |
|---|---|
| Vendor / portal | iWebVisit, linked by the sheriff app as Jail Visitation. |
| Scheduling URL | iWebVisit main portal. |
| Facility login route | Fayette County Jail iWebVisit route. |
| On-site vs remote | Not specified in official local sources. |
| Schedule and visit length | Not published in official local sources. |
| ID, dress code, children, attorney visits | Not published in official local sources; verify before travel. |
The iWebVisit facility login screen in the project image set matches the visitation channel linked from the sheriff's app system.
Because local rules were not posted with the feed, visitors should confirm scheduling, identification, arrival, cancellation, and allowed property rules before making plans.
Fayette County Mail and Money
Research did not locate a Fayette sheriff mail policy, inmate mail address format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, inmate phone vendor, deposit fee table, or tablet rule. The roster does publish a booking number, so that number may help identify the person if the jail instructs family to use it, but the page should not invent a mail format or payment path. Cash, checks, packages, photos, and books should not be sent unless the jail confirms the current rule.
| Service | Published Fayette County Detail |
|---|---|
| Inmate mail address | Not published in official local sources. |
| Money deposits | No official Fayette vendor or fee table located. |
| Commissary | No official county commissary vendor located. |
| Inmate phone | No official phone vendor or rate table located. |
| Video visits | iWebVisit is linked, but Fayette-specific fees and schedule were not published. |
Note: Confirm custody status and facility rules with the jail before sending money, mail, or property.
Fayette County Sheriff App
The Fayette County Sheriff Alabama app is part of the record-access picture because the sheriff's public site and roster are app-backed. The app is listed on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Official app sources advertise emergency notifications, breaking news, road closures, confidential crime tips, inmate viewing, Jail, Jail Visitation, staff contacts, civil process, sex offenders, and public feedback tools.
The app also has limits. It is not for emergency reporting, and the tip form tells users to dial 911 for a crime in progress. It is also not a full court-record system. Use the roster for current jail custody, Alabama Trial Court Records for court case access, ADOC for state prison, BOP for federal custody, ICE for immigration detention, and VINELink for custody notifications where available.
