Lookup John Hulett Detention Facility Inmates

John Hulett Detention Facility Overview

John Hulett Detention Facility is the primary county jail for Lowndes County and is operated through the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office. Official court material also identifies the facility as Lowndes County Jail. It serves the local jail role, which means it is different from an Alabama Department of Corrections prison, a federal Bureau of Prisons institution, or an ICE detention center.

The population held at John Hulett Detention Facility can include people arrested by the sheriff's office, municipal police agencies, Alabama State Troopers, or other officers booking a person into Lowndes County custody. It can also include pretrial detainees, county-sentenced misdemeanants, people held on warrants or court orders, and people waiting for transfer after sentencing or other agency action.

Official sources did not publish the jail's rated capacity, typical daily population, year built, housing layout, medical unit, or accreditation status. Those details should be confirmed with the jail before they are used for travel, reporting, or legal decisions.

John Hulett Detention Facility Inmate Lookup

No official Lowndes County online jail roster was located for John Hulett Detention Facility. The lookup process therefore starts by phone and may continue as a public-records request. The jail record is the local custody record. It should not be confused with the court record that begins after charges are filed, or with an ADOC record that appears after a state-prison transfer.

1. Call Lowndes County Jail at (334) 548-2222 and ask whether the person is currently in custody.
2. Have the person's full name, approximate arrest date, date of birth if known, and arresting agency if available.
3. Ask whether the person has been released, bonded out, moved to court, transferred to ADOC, or held for another agency.
4. If the jail cannot provide the record by phone, ask for the correct way to request the public prisoner record.
5. If the person was sentenced to state prison, use the ADOC inmate search instead.

For wider searches, use the BOP inmate locator for federal prisoners, ICE's detainee locator for immigration custody, and VINELink for custody notification. Those systems do not replace the jail for recent Lowndes County arrests.

John Hulett Detention Facility Contact

Use the jail line for present custody and facility questions. The Lowndes County judiciary directory is the official court source that lists the jail contact. Use sheriff contacts when jail staff direct a records or administrative question there. Use the courthouse and Circuit Clerk for formal court charges and case records after filing.

John Hulett Detention Facility Visits

Official Lowndes County sources did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video visit vendor, appointment process, visitor list rule, dress code, child visitor rule, or holiday procedure. That does not mean visits are unavailable. It means the schedule has to be confirmed with the jail before travel.

Visitors should not bring weapons, contraband, recording equipment, or unnecessary bags into a correctional facility. If mobility access or medical accommodation is needed, call ahead because accessible entrance and parking details were not published.

John Hulett Detention Facility Mail and Money

The county site did not publish official mail format, legal mail rules, book or photo restrictions, mail scanning rules, commissary vendor, deposit vendor, phone provider, video provider, tablet provider, or fee schedule for John Hulett Detention Facility. Avoid sending money through any commercial service until the jail confirms that it is the current approved vendor.

Ask for the inmate's correct booking name or jail identifier before mailing anything. Also ask whether the person is still in Lowndes County custody. A transfer to ADOC, another county, federal custody, or ICE can make a deposit or mail piece fail.

John Hulett Detention Facility Booking

Lowndes County did not publish a minute-by-minute booking procedure. The safest public description is the standard local path: arrest, transport to the county jail if detention is required, intake, creation of the sheriff prisoner record, bond or first-appearance review, and then court filing if charges proceed. Alabama Code section 36-22-8 requires the sheriff to keep a public prisoner record for people committed to jail.

Bond details also need direct confirmation. Official sources did not publish a jail bond-payment page, accepted payment methods, after-hours rule, kiosk, online vendor, or bondsman procedure. Before paying anyone, call the jail to confirm the person's location, whether bond is set, what type of bond applies, whether a hold or detainer blocks release, and where payment must be made.

Detainer

A hold or notice from another agency that may keep a person in custody even if the local bond is addressed.

PR bond

Release based on a promise to return to court, sometimes with court-set conditions.

Mittimus

A court commitment order that sends a person to jail or prison.

John Hulett Detention Facility Court Records

A booking charge at John Hulett Detention Facility is not always the final court charge. After arrest, the prosecutor may file, amend, reduce, dismiss, or present charges for indictment. Lowndes County District and Circuit Court records are maintained by Circuit Clerk Stephanie Jones at the courthouse, and Alacourt ACCESS is the official paid Alabama trial-court portal.

For a person booked into the jail, ask the jail whether a case number is available. Then contact the Circuit Clerk at (334) 548-2252 or use Alacourt ACCESS if online case search is needed. For felony prosecution questions, the judiciary directory lists District Attorney Charlotte Tesmer at (334) 382-7444, but the clerk remains the record custodian for filed case records.

John Hulett Detention Facility Transfers

Transfers change the correct search tool. A person sentenced to Alabama state prison should be checked through ADOC after transfer. A federal pretrial detainee may involve the U.S. Marshals Service Middle District of Alabama before BOP records show a prison location. Immigration custody should be checked through ICE's locator when an ICE hold or transfer is possible.
