Community Corrections Release Route
Marshall County Community Corrections is listed by the Alabama Department of Corrections as a county community corrections program. The research identifies the program at its Albertville location and confirms the same phone number through both ADOC's Community Corrections list and the county phone directory. That makes the program office the first practical contact for a release or completion question tied to this placement.
A community corrections placement is not the same as a new release from Marshall County Jail. Some people are placed there by court order instead of being held in jail. Some may arrive after a jail booking, after a violation, or after a sentence structure that includes local supervision and work-release type conditions. If the person was booked into the jail before placement, the sheriff released roster may show that jail booking. If the person moved only through the program or court, the jail roster may have no new release entry.
| Question | Primary source | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Was the person assigned to the program? | Program office or court order | Placement may not be a jail release. |
| Was there a county jail booking? | Sheriff released roster | Only jail bookings appear in the jail roster system. |
| What sentence or order applied? | Marshall County court record | The court file explains why the placement began or ended. |
| Was there a violation return? | Program, court, and jail record | A violation can create a new custody event. |
Confirm Program Release Status
The safest release-confirmation route starts with the legal source that placed the person in the program. Community corrections may be a sentencing alternative, a condition of release, a work-release structure, or part of a violation response. Because the sheriff roster is built around jail bookings, it can miss a program-only event. That is why the court case and the program office should be checked before drawing a conclusion from a roster search.
- Contact Marshall County Community Corrections with the person's full name and any court case or booking information already known.
- Check the Marshall County Circuit Clerk route for the order that sent the person to the program or ended the placement.
- Use AlaCourt Access if online state trial court records are needed and available.
- Search the sheriff's released roster only for a related jail booking, not as proof of program completion.
- If the person later entered state prison, use ADOC only to confirm current state custody because ADOC does not provide public historical release data online.
Use the Marshall County released inmates search path when the custody history is unclear. It separates county jail, program, state prison, court, federal, and immigration records so a program placement is not mistaken for a jail discharge.
Community Corrections Contact
The ADOC Community Corrections source names Marshall County Community Corrections and lists director Marcheta Shaw. The county phone directory also lists Community Corrections with the same public phone number. When requesting a record, ask for a public confirmation of placement, completion, termination, or return to custody, and include the court case number if known.

The Marshall County phone directory is useful because it places Community Corrections alongside Adult Probation and Circuit Court contacts. Those offices often sit close together in the record chain when a person leaves jail, enters a local program, or moves into supervision.
About Community Corrections
Community corrections programs operate between ordinary jail custody and the court's supervision tools. They may include reporting requirements, work-release style structure, treatment or class requirements, and court-imposed conditions. The exact terms come from the court order and program rules, not from the sheriff roster. A person can be physically outside the jail but still under court or program control.

This source is directly relevant because it confirms the program's listing under the state corrections system while still pointing back to a local county program.
Program and Court Records
A useful records request should name the record sought rather than asking whether someone is "free." Good phrases include placement order, program admission date, completion date, termination date, violation report, return-to-custody notice, or release from program supervision if those records are maintained and releasable. The program may route some requests back to the court or may limit details that are not public.
For the court side, the Marshall County Circuit Clerk is the durable source. The court file may show the sentencing order, community-corrections order, probation terms, revocation order, or dismissal. If a jail booking is connected to the placement, record the booking number from the sheriff profile and use it in the request. If no jail booking appears, do not force the event into the sheriff released roster.
- Placement
- A court or program assignment that may occur instead of ordinary jail custody.
- Completion
- A program end point that should be checked through the program or court, not assumed from a jail search.
- Violation
- An alleged breach of program or supervision terms that can return the person to court or custody.
- Related booking
- A Marshall County Jail event connected to the case, if the person was booked before or after the program placement.
When Jail Records Still Matter
The sheriff roster matters when the community-corrections history includes an actual jail booking. For example, a person may be booked at Marshall County Jail, released to a program, later returned on a violation, or held briefly after a court order. In those situations, the jail profile can show the booking and release dates for the jail portion only.
Use the sheriff's roster disclaimer to reach the current or released roster, then compare the booking number and arresting agency to the court file. The profile may give a booking photo and charge text, but it does not replace the program record. Note: A blank jail result does not prove there was no community-corrections placement.
Marshall County Routing
The local contact chain is compact: Community Corrections is in Albertville, the Circuit Clerk and courthouse contacts are in Guntersville, and the sheriff jail record remains in the jail system. The county phone directory screenshot below shows Community Corrections and Adult Probation as separate entries, which helps avoid mixing the program with ABPP parole or ordinary jail custody.
That distinction is the core of this facility page: program records, court records, probation contacts, and jail release records can all touch the same person, but each system confirms only the event it controls.
