- Use the Daily Arrest Report for a same-day view or the Weekly Arrest Log for several days of booking entries.

- Use the VINELink Inmate Check to distinguish Alabama prison notices from county, federal, and immigration custody resources.
A booking charge is an allegation. It may be changed or dismissed, so verify the outcome with the court and presume innocence unless guilt is established in court.
