Find Daphne Corrections Center Inmates

Daphne Corrections Center Overview

The Daphne Police Department Administrative and Support Services page places corrections inside the department's support services structure, along with communications. The Daphne Corrections Center is not the Baldwin County Sheriff's Corrections Center. It is a city jail operated by Daphne Police, and its public details come from the city page rather than the sheriff's Southern Software roster.

Daphne calls the facility one of the largest municipal jails in Alabama. The page lists 10 certified corrections officers and identifies William Kennedy as Chief Corrections Officer and Lance Bradley as Assistant Chief Corrections Officer. It also says the communications side operates as a 24-hour, 365-day public-safety answering point that dispatches police, fire, animal control, and public works, which helps explain why jail contact may route through support services instead of a stand-alone public roster desk.

The city page is the official source for Daphne jail capacity, video visitation, property drop-off, books, medication, and canteen rules.

Daphne's official support services page shows the jail capacity, corrections contacts, visitation rule, and canteen provider.

Daphne Corrections Center Population

Daphne publishes a useful capacity distinction. The facility can hold 44 sentenced prisoners and another 20 to 30 arrestees in front holding cells. Those front holding cells matter for a fresh arrest because a person can be held by Daphne before transfer or release, even if no county roster record is visible yet. The city page says the jail holds misdemeanor arrestees for Daphne, Spanish Fort Police Department, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, State Troopers, and U.S. Marshals, in addition to Daphne arrests.

Daphne states that felony arrestees are transported to Baldwin County Corrections within 24 hours. That is the key search rule. If a felony arrest started in Daphne, check with Daphne first for very recent custody, then check the Baldwin County sheriff's jail roster after transfer.

The capacity split also explains why a search can fail even when an arrest did occur. Front holding cells are a short-term local stage, not a permanent county roster category. A misdemeanor arrestee may remain in Daphne custody, while a felony arrestee may move to Bay Minette fast enough that family members need to check both systems during the first day. Daphne also names Spanish Fort Police, State Troopers, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, and U.S. Marshals in its custody mix, so arresting agency is useful when asking staff where the person was taken.

Daphne Corrections Center Lookup

Daphne does not publish a separate online jail roster in the inspected official source. For a person held on a Daphne misdemeanor matter, the best first access channel is the Corrections Unit phone number. For a felony arrest, Daphne's own page says transfer to Baldwin County Corrections happens within 24 hours, so the county roster becomes the next channel after transfer. State prison, federal, and immigration custody use ADOC, BOP, or ICE tools, not Daphne's municipal jail contact.

1. Call the Daphne Corrections Unit for a current municipal custody question.
2. Ask whether the person is held on a misdemeanor, city sentence, front holding status, or transfer status.
3. If the arrest is felony-level or no longer held locally, search the Baldwin County sheriff's jail roster.
4. For a sentenced state prisoner, use the ADOC locator instead of the city or county jail.

Daphne Corrections Center Contact

The city publishes both a corrections unit phone and a police department phone. Use the corrections unit for custody, visitation approval, property, canteen, and transfer questions. Use the broader police department number when the question is not tied to a person in the jail or when routing is unclear.

Daphne Corrections Center Visits

Daphne publishes a narrow visit rule: visits are video only on Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Scheduling is through NCIC, and the city page says a confirmation email follows approval by corrections staff. Do not treat this as open walk-in visitation. Account setup, staff approval, and the scheduled window all matter.

Because Daphne requires staff approval, visitors should wait for the confirmation email before assuming a visit is active. For urgent custody or transfer timing, call the corrections unit rather than relying on a pending visit request.

Daphne Jail Property and Canteen

Property drop-off is published for Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Property must be handed to a correction officer in person and may not be left unattended. Daphne allows sealed original-package white T-shirts, underwear, socks, loose leaf notebook or writing paper, envelopes, and stamps. Prescribed medications must be current, in original pharmacy packaging, and tied to a current prescription. Over-the-counter medication is not allowed under the published rule.

The canteen separation is important. Daphne identifies the provider, but the canteen account is not a Daphne Police Department account. Payment, balance, and app issues should be handled through the provider's process.

Daphne Corrections Center Programs

Daphne reports GED classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for inmates. The city page also says corrections officers complete a nine-week field training officer program. These facts support a municipal jail page focused on local custody and services, but they do not make Daphne a state prison or county jail. Sentenced municipal custody, misdemeanor arrestees, and temporary holding remain the main researched roles.

Daphne's support services setting is also part of the facility's public role. Corrections and communications sit in the same broader division, and the communications side is active every day of the year. That does not create a public inmate database, but it does show why phone routing and staff approval are central to Daphne jail access. Use the published corrections number for custody questions, and use the county roster only after a transfer to the sheriff's correction center is likely.
