Clay County Sheriff and Jail Contacts
The official sheriff contact page identifies the Clay County Jail, also called the Clay County Detention Center, at 41771 Hwy 77, Suite 2, Ashland, AL 36251. The jail information line is 256-354-7713. For the sheriff office, use 41771 Highway 77 N, Suite 2, Ashland, AL 36251 and 256-354-2176. Public sources describe general business hours as 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., subject to change; verify hours before visiting. No fixed booking-record fee or turnaround is published, so ask the custodian for the current estimate and identify the requested record precisely.
- For a current booking or custody question, start with the official roster described on the home page, then call the jail if timing matters.
- For a same-day view, review the limits explained on 24 Hour Arrests; the county does not publish a guaranteed 24-hour feed.
- For multi-day context, see Arrest Log; it is not a substitute for a sheriff records request.
- For a possible custody alert, use VINELink Check only if the live service offers the relevant facility.
- For a later case result, use the Clay County court or Circuit Clerk rather than a roster entry.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Alabama Department of Corrections offender search; federal and immigration custody require the appropriate BOP or ICE locator.
For an immediate safety issue, call 911. Dispatch at 256-354-2176 and the sheriff tip form are not records-request services, and the tip form is not intended for same-day response.
