About the Baldwin County Jail
The Baldwin County Jail is officially operated as the Baldwin County Sheriff's Corrections Center by the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, Corrections Division. The facility is located in Bay Minette, Alabama, and is commonly referred to as the Baldwin County Jail even though the official operational name is Corrections Center.
The Baldwin County Sheriff is Anthony E. Lowery, who was appointed in August 2024. The Corrections Center serves adults, houses many pretrial detainees, and holds inmates for several jurisdictions. Baldwin County Sheriff's Office materials describe the jail's average daily population as approximately 550 people. The Corrections Division also has a Commander of Corrections position at the Major rank, but no jail administrator name was provided in the available county data.

How the Baldwin County Inmate Search Works
The Baldwin County inmate search is the live roster at the top of this page. Enter an inmate's name, booking number, or charge in the search field, and the roster filters the current custody records directly on the page.
The roster is designed for quick inmate lookup in Baldwin County. Visible fields may include the inmate's name, booking number, booked date, bail field, listed charges, and custody status. The "View Details" option expands the record so users can review additional listed charge information when more detail is available.
The Baldwin County jail roster is not the same thing as the court docket. Jail roster information helps confirm booking and custody details, while court records control hearings, filings, case status, and final court actions. Baldwin County criminal court records are handled through Alabama trial court systems, including the pa.alacourt.com portal and Baldwin County docket resources, but some cases may not appear on the electronic docket.
Posting Bail at Baldwin County Jail
Bail for a Baldwin County Jail inmate is set by the court, not by jail staff. Before going to the jail or courthouse, call the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office at (251) 937-0202 to confirm the current bond amount, release status, and where payment must be made.
The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office states that the Docket Room provides bond amounts and charge information only. Alabama release orders may include an appearance bond, a cash or certified-funds deposit with the clerk, a secured appearance bond, release to supervision, travel restrictions, association restrictions, residence restrictions, or a requirement to return to custody at a specific time. Alabama appearance bond forms recognize Property Bond, Professional Surety or Bail Company Bond, and Cash Bond options when approved by the proper authority.
Payment requirements depend on the court order and the type of bond. If a release order requires money to be deposited with the clerk, the Baldwin County Circuit Clerk is located at 312 Courthouse Square, Suite 10, Bay Minette, AL 36507. Call the jail at (251) 937-0202 before coming in to confirm accepted payment methods and whether the inmate is otherwise cleared for release.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Money for a Baldwin County Jail inmate's trust account can be deposited through the Public Docket Lobby kiosk using cash, debit card, or credit card. Baldwin County also identifies team3.inmatecanteen.com as the online deposit option for inmate trust accounts. For deposit help, the county lists Kimble's FBD/Turnkey support at 706-298-4974.
The inmate trust account is used for commissary purchases from the facility's approved list of food and personal items. Baldwin County also uses a separate tablet, entertainment, and messaging account system, with deposits through the kiosk or inmatesales.com. Tablet account support is listed as 702-829-3001, and paid tablet services may include a monthly $4 rental fee.

Inmate Communication
Baldwin County Jail phone and video visitation services are handled through ICSolutions. Family members may need to create an ICSolutions account, and ICSolutions support is listed at 1 (888) 506-8407. Inmates cannot receive incoming calls, so friends and family must set up approved outbound phone access or wait for the inmate to call.
Baldwin County inmates may also use tablet-based email and messaging. The county states that tablet email and messaging are not privileged and may be monitored. Tablet balances are separate from inmate trust accounts, and money cannot be transferred from a trust account to the tablet service.
Non-legal mail for friends and family is processed through TextBehind. As of September 1, 2025, Baldwin County states that non-legal incoming mail sent to other addresses may be rejected.
Mail must include a return address, may not exceed 8.5 x 11 inches, and cannot include packages, cash, checks, or other money. Calls, mail, email, and messaging may be monitored, except confidential legal communication.

Alabama court records for Baldwin County may be available through the state court records portal at pa.alacourt.com, and Baldwin County also has docket list resources using LOC=05. Public portal pricing is listed as $9.99 per search, with document image charges of $5 for the first 20 pages and $0.50 per page after that.
