Bonding an inmate out of the Walker County Jail

When bonding an inmate out of the Walker County Jail, you must bring a $35 money order made payable to the "Circuit Clerk.”  This fee is required by Alabama law and is separate from any money or property required to make a cash or property bond.

Things you need to know

All prescription medication must be dropped off to the Jail Doctor.  You may do so at 5:30pm at the Night Entrance of the Walker County Jail.

The Walker County Jail and staff do not set court dates.  Please do not contact the jail regarding court dates.  You must contact the inmate and their lawyer about this matter.

To pick up an inmate's property when that inmate is still in the jail, SATURDAYS are the only day you may do so from 8am to 11am or 1pm to 3pm.  Upon release from jail any money remaining on the inmate's account will only be released to that inmate.

How to Send Money

When inmates are booked into the Walker County Jail, the cash that they have on them is placed into an account at the Sheriff’s Office that allows them to purchase items from the jail commissary.

Money has to be in by Monday afternoon in order for the inmate to purchase an item from the store for that week.  There is a $10.00 co-pay for doctor's visits and a $6.00 co-pay for each prescription.  This money will come out of the inmate's jail account.  All inmates must buy their white clothing from the jail store (commissary), no exceptions.

An inmate's government check or payroll check if brought to the jail must be entered into their jail account.
