Butler County Inmate Contacts
The official Butler County Sheriff's Office page names Sheriff David Scruggs and gives the administrative office address as 801 Walnut Street, Greenville, Alabama 36037. The public phone for the Sheriff's Office is (334) 382-6521, with business hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Butler judiciary directory lists Butler County Jail separately at (334) 382-3321. Because no official county web jail roster was located, that jail phone number is the main fallback for current custody checks.
Use the Sheriff's Office for local custody and jail questions, not ADOC, when the person was just arrested or may be awaiting court in Butler County. Use the court file after charges are filed. Use ADOC only when the person is in state prison custody after sentencing or commitment. A person may move through all three systems as the case changes.

Call before relying on app or roster data.
The Butler County Sheriff's Office app landing page is the official app channel linked from the Sheriff's Office.
The app channel is useful, but the research did not include a direct app inspection, so phone confirmation remains important for current custody.
Butler County Jail App Access
The Sheriff's Office links to the OCV app-download page, and the app listings identify the app as "Butler County Sheriff's Office." The Google Play listing is by OCV, LLC, with a government/lifestyle category and an update date of May 12, 2025. App Store user references mention inmates and commissary, but the research could not inspect the live app screens. That means the app should be described as the official mobile channel that may expose inmate or commissary features, not as a guaranteed full web roster with verified field labels.
- Open the official sheriff app link from the Sheriff's Office page or the OCV landing page.
- Choose the Google Play or Apple App Store listing for Butler County Sheriff's Office.
- Install or open the app and look for inmate, jail, or commissary tools if they are available in the current app build.
- If the person does not appear, call Butler County Jail at (334) 382-3321 before assuming the person is not in custody.
The Google Play listing is one official store route for the Butler County Sheriff's Office app.
Use the app as a live channel, but treat any app result as a point-in-time custody lead that may need jail confirmation.
Butler County Jail Roster Fields
No official Butler County Alabama web jail roster fields were found in the county website materials. The research found app-store references to an inmate roster, but no inspectable public inmate profile. The correct page build is therefore a no-public-web-roster field table rather than an invented search form. For current custody, call the jail or use the official app if available.
| Field or channel | Status in official research | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| County web roster name search | No official web roster located. | Use the sheriff app or call the jail. |
| Booking number search | No public Butler web field verified. | Ask the jail if a booking number is needed. |
| Charge field | No public Butler profile inspected. | Confirm charges through the jail or court case after filing. |
| Bond field | No public Butler profile inspected. | Confirm with the jail, magistrate, or court. |
| Commissary tool | App reviews mention commissary; no vendor verified. | Check the app or call before sending funds. |
Butler County Inmate Profile
The sample inmate profile inventory is limited by the research gap. Butler County did not publish a web profile that could be inspected. App listings and reviews suggest some custody tools exist, while ADOC publishes a separate state-prison search. The table below separates verified local contact facts from fields that were not visible in official public county sources.
| Field | What it shows or why it is limited |
|---|---|
| Name | Expected for an inmate roster, but no Butler web profile was inspected. |
| Booking date | Not verified in a public Butler County web profile. |
| Charges | May connect to court charges after filing; call jail or search court records. |
| Bond | Must be confirmed through jail, magistrate, or court if not visible in the app. |
| Commissary | Referenced by app reviews, but no official vendor or fee schedule was found. |
| ADOC AIS number | Applies to state-prison search, not a fresh Butler County jail booking. |
The Apple App Store listing is the other official store route for the Butler County Sheriff's Office app.
App listings support the mobile-access route, but they do not replace direct jail confirmation for release, bond, or visitation questions.
ADOC Inmate Search
The Alabama Department of Corrections search is for sentenced state inmates, not all Butler County jail detainees. If a person was arrested recently, is awaiting court, serving a short local sentence, or awaiting transfer, the Butler County Jail is the better first contact. If a person has been sentenced to ADOC custody, the state search may locate an Alabama Institutional Serial number and custody information.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIS Number | Text | Optional, but takes precedence | Unique six-digit Alabama Institutional Serial number; exact match returns one record. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Used when AIS is blank. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Used when AIS is blank; combine with first name to narrow. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the query. |
The ADOC inmate search is the official state-prison lookup route.
ADOC search results should not be used to rule out local jail custody, because the county jail and state prison systems serve different custody stages.
Butler County Jail vs ADOC
Custody status changes over time. Butler County jail information concerns pretrial detainees, people serving short local sentences, people awaiting bond decisions, and people awaiting transfer. ADOC records concern prisoners after state sentencing or commitment. Court records show the criminal case, charge status, disposition, financial history, and sentencing entries. A complete custody check may need all three sources.
This split also affects timing. A person arrested by the Sheriff's Office, Greenville police, Georgiana police, a state trooper, or another agency may be booked locally before the prosecutor files formal charges. Bond and first-appearance details may be handled by a magistrate or court. If a later sentence sends the person to state custody, the local jail status may end while the ADOC record begins. For that reason, a missing ADOC result does not prove that no Butler County inmate record exists, and a local jail contact does not replace the court case record after charges are filed.
| Record source | Who it covers | Best access channel |
|---|---|---|
| Butler County Jail | Current local custody, pretrial detention, local sentence, awaiting transfer. | Call (334) 382-3321 or use the sheriff app if available. |
| Butler County Sheriff's Office | Administrative law-enforcement and public-service contact. | 801 Walnut Street or (334) 382-6521. |
| District or Circuit Court | Charges, bond orders, case status, disposition, sentencing. | Alacourt ACCESS or Circuit Clerk. |
| ADOC | State prisoners after sentencing or commitment. | ADOC search by AIS, first name, or last name. |
For arrest-to-charge context, Butler County arrest and charge records may show why a person entered custody and how the court case progressed.
Butler County Visitation Gaps
The official county sources reviewed did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor, dress code, lockdown policy, holiday schedule, or attorney-visitation policy. That absence should be treated as a real access fact, not filled with another county's jail rules. Call the jail before traveling because visits can change due to staffing, classification, court transport, medical limits, holidays, or lockdowns.
| Visit type | Schedule | Source status |
|---|---|---|
| Public/social visitation | Not located in official sources. | Confirm with Butler County Jail at (334) 382-3321. |
| Attorney visitation | Not located in official sources. | Confirm with the jail and court. |
| Video visitation | Not located in official sources. | No vendor or link located. |
| Holiday or lockdown visitation | Not located in official sources. | Confirm before travel. |
Butler County Mail and Money
No official Butler County jail mail policy, outside mail processor, inmate phone vendor, deposit link, or commissary fee schedule was found. Do not assume a postcard-only rule, scan-and-destroy mail service, book-in number format, deposit fee, or vendor name. The Apple reviews mention commissary in the sheriff app, so the app may be the easiest place to check current options, but accepted payment types should be confirmed by phone.
| Topic | Official detail found | Follow-up channel |
|---|---|---|
| Commissary deposits | App review mentions commissary; no official vendor or fee located. | Sheriff's app or jail phone. |
| Mail address format | No official jail mail format located. | Call the jail before mailing. |
| Phone accounts | No official phone vendor located. | Ask jail staff for current vendor and rules. |
| Video visits | No official vendor or schedule located. | Confirm with jail before setting plans. |
The ADOC contact page is useful for state-prison contact questions, not for unpublished Butler County jail mail rules.
Use ADOC contact information only when the person is in state custody; local jail mail and commissary questions should start with Butler County Jail.
For public-record access beyond custody status, use the agency that keeps the record. Sheriff's incident and jail records route to the Sheriff's Office. Court pleadings, bond orders, and criminal case entries route to the Circuit Clerk. Alabama's public-records statutes support access to public writings, but juvenile records, sealed records, expunged records, personal identifiers, and active security concerns can limit what jail or court staff may release.
