Where to Ask in Franklin County
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and Franklin County Detention Center share the public address at 748 Walnut Gate Road, Russellville, AL 35654. Sheriff administration is 256-332-8811, the non-emergency line is 256-332-8820, and the detention or booking line is 256-332-8425. Published administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No dedicated booking-records unit or request form was published, so call administration to confirm the current records procedure before sending material. The sheriff warns that email is not monitored around the clock and ordinary email is not secure.
Choose the office or system that matches the record and custody stage:
- For a booking photo or booking record, start with the Franklin County arrest guide and then contact FCSO about a focused public-record request.
- For someone just arrested or now held locally, check the official current roster or the newest entries; use the separate 48-hour release view after release.
- For bond, release, or a detention-specific question, call the Franklin County Detention Center booking line.
- For the court result, case filings, or a warrant division question, contact the Franklin County Circuit Clerk at 256-332-8861.
- For a person serving a state sentence, use the Alabama Department of Corrections offender search rather than the county roster.
- For federal sentenced custody or immigration detention, use the federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator, respectively.
- For records created by Russellville, Red Bay, or Phil Campbell police, ask that city department which request procedure applies; FCSO is the better custodian when the county jail created the booking photo.
