How do you find out if someone is in the Fultondale City Jail?
Call the Fultondale Police Department at 205-849-5456. The City of Fultondale 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.
