Why Can't I Find Someone in the Lowndes County Jail Roster?
If an individual was recently arrested but does not appear on this roster, one of the following common factors may apply:
Intake Booking Processing Delay
During initial intake (medical screening, fingerprinting, property inventory, and magistrate arraignment), records may take 2 to 6 hours to populate in official sheriff publishing feeds.
Released on Bail or Own Recognizance (ROR)
If the individual posted a cash bond, secured a licensed bail bondsman, or was granted pretrial release by the magistrate judge, their record is removed from the active housed roster.
Transferred to State Prison (DOC) or Federal Custody
Inmates sentenced to state prison terms are transferred to Alabama Department of Corrections custody. Use our Alabama DOC Inmate Search to search state correctional facilities.
