How do you find out if someone is in the Homewood jail?
The Homewood Police Department website does not list an online inmate roster, so call the non-emergency line at 205-332-6200 and ask whether he is being held.
Have this ready before you call:
- His full legal name, plus any other names he uses
- His date of birth
- When he was arrested, if you know
In our experience, families often learn where someone is when he calls from inside after booking, or when an officer lets him call someone about his car. When he calls, write down the jail name, the charge, and any booking number. A bail bond company will ask for them. Read what you need to bail someone out of jail.
If Homewood police say he is not there, he may be at the Jefferson County Jail. Search the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Inmate Inquiry, and read our Jefferson County Jail inmate search guide for help reading the record.

How do you post bond for someone in the Homewood jail?
Bail has to be set before anyone can post bond. Under Alabama’s court rules, bail is either set right away from the statewide bond schedule under Rule 4.3(a), or set by a judge at the first court appearance under Rule 4.4. The amounts come from the schedule in Rule 7.2(b), and judges can go above or below it.
Once you know the bail amount, you can post the full amount in cash, or use a licensed bail bond company that posts the full bail for a fee. For questions about a Homewood city case, call Homewood Municipal Court at 205-332-6266.
How much does a bail bond cost?
A bail bond fee is normally 10% to 15% of the bail amount:
| Bail amount | Bail bond fee at 10% to 15% |
|---|---|
| $1,000 | $100 to $150 |
| $5,000 | $500 to $750 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 to $1,500 |
