How do you find out if someone is in the Vestavia Hills jail?
Call the Vestavia Hills Police Department at 205-978-0100. The City of Vestavia Hills website does not list an online roster for the city jail, so a phone call is the fastest way to confirm.
Have this ready before you call:
- His full legal name, plus any other names he uses
- His date of birth
- When and where 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. Read what you need to bail someone out of jail.
If the city jail says he is not there, he may be at the Jefferson County Jail. Search the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Inmate Inquiry, and use our Jefferson County Jail inmate search guide to read the record.

How do you post bond after a Vestavia Hills arrest?
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) of the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure, 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. Some charges have no bail at all under Aniah’s Law. Read Aniah’s Law in Alabama if you are told there is no bond.
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 |
