Where Tuscumbia Releases Go
The Tuscumbia Police Department page states that the department is the only correctional facility in Colbert County that holds and maintains female inmates. The Colbert County sheriff's jail page also says male prisoners are placed at the Colbert County Jail and female prisoners are placed at the Tuscumbia City Jail. That division makes this page different from a standard city lockup page.
A person physically released from Tuscumbia may still have a county jail booking record if the custody was a Colbert County matter. In that situation, the sheriff's 48-hour released roster is the first public online check. If the person was released directly on a city matter, confirmation usually comes from Tuscumbia Police Department or the municipal court record rather than a separate city release list.
The important question is not only whether the person left the building. Ask whether the release was to the community, to court, to the county jail, to ADOC, to another agency, or to an ICE-related hold. The main Colbert County release search lays out those custody paths.
Confirm a Tuscumbia Release
- Search the Colbert sheriff released roster at colbertsheriff.net/roster.php?released=1 for county custody releases inside the 48-hour window.
- If the person is not in the released view, check the current county roster at colbertsheriff.net/roster.php. A current listing means custody has not ended for that county booking.
- Call Tuscumbia Police Department at 256-383-3121 when the issue is physical custody, jail-specific release timing, property, or facility rules for someone held in Tuscumbia.
- Use the court record when the online feed is outside its short window or when the question is why a city or county charge ended.
- For a felony sentence transfer, move to ADOC. For immigration transfer concerns, use ICE's locator and direct agency confirmation.
Do not assume a missing Tuscumbia result means no custody record exists. The city facility may not publish a separate release feed, and county female-inmate placement can point back to the sheriff roster or sheriff records request.
Tuscumbia Jail Records and Contact
Use Tuscumbia PD for city jail questions and the Colbert County Sheriff's Office for county booking/release records. A useful written request should identify the person, approximate booking and release dates, whether the custody was city or county, and the record needed: booking sheet, release record, charge or hold notation, property issue, or transfer notation.

About Tuscumbia City Jail
Tuscumbia City Jail is a municipal jail operated by the Tuscumbia Police Department. In Colbert County release research, its most important role is female-inmate placement. The sheriff's jail page directs readers to Tuscumbia City Jail information for female inmates, and the Tuscumbia police page identifies the department as the county's only correctional facility that holds and maintains female inmates.
Because the public online path can remain with the sheriff even when the physical placement is in Tuscumbia, the contact sequence matters. Start online with the sheriff's current and released roster, then call Tuscumbia PD if the question depends on physical custody. For older records, use the sheriff or city records process and the appropriate court record.
County Record, City Facility
The county/city split can confuse release searches. A Colbert County female detainee may be placed in the city facility but still appear under the county sheriff's custody system. A person arrested by city police may later be booked into the county jail, where the sheriff roster becomes the online source. The safest approach is to track both the arresting agency and the custody agency.
Tuscumbia Release Records and Property
Facility-specific details matter most when the question is about the release itself rather than the public roster entry. If a female county detainee was physically held at Tuscumbia City Jail, Tuscumbia PD may be the better contact for release timing, local facility rules, property pickup, or whether a person was moved before release. The Colbert sheriff's records path remains important for the county booking sheet, booking number, charges, bond, and the short-window released roster.
A written request should be clear about the custody path. State whether the person was arrested by Tuscumbia police, placed at Tuscumbia as a county inmate, or booked into the Colbert County Detention Center after a city arrest. Include the full name, approximate booking and release dates, charge or court if known, and whether the request is for the booking record, release record, property notation, or transfer notation. That detail helps avoid a response from the wrong custodian.
Tuscumbia Court Release Clues
When the sheriff roster and Tuscumbia facility contact do not answer why custody ended, the court path becomes important. A court record may show a bond order, dismissal, disposition, probation order, sentence, warrant action, or other order that explains why a jail release was processed. The facility can confirm physical custody details, but the court record is often the better source for the legal reason behind the release.
