Check Lawrence County Supervision

Lawrence County Parole Versus Probation

Parole and probation are often grouped together, but they answer different release questions. Parole usually follows a prison sentence and is supervised by the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles. Probation is a court-ordered sentence or sentence alternative that may begin without a state-prison stay. Mandatory supervised release is another post-prison status handled through ABPP for certain Alabama sentences.

A person who bonds out of the Lawrence County Detention Center may have no ABPP supervision at that stage. That release is confirmed through the jail and court record. ABPP becomes the relevant source when the sentence, parole board action, mandatory supervision law, or probation order places the person under state supervision.

Verify Lawrence County Post-Release Supervision

The verification path starts with the release type. A jail release record can show bond, time served, court order, transfer, or another release reason. A court docket can show sentence, probation, revocation, or discharge. ABPP records matter when the person is a parolee, probationer assigned to ABPP, or mandatory supervised release individual.

1. Confirm the original custody path: Lawrence County jail, ADOC prison, community corrections, federal custody, or ICE transfer.
2. For a county-jail release, call the jail at 256-974-2550 or request the release record from the sheriff at 242 Parker Road.
3. Check the Lawrence County Circuit Clerk and Alacourt Access for sentence, probation, bond, or revocation entries.
4. For parole or state-supervised probation, contact the ABPP Moulton Field Office.
5. For a state-prison case, review ADOC, ABPP hearing schedules and results, and Alabama VNS if notification registration applies.
6. For local alternative supervision, confirm the court order with the Lawrence County Community Corrections Program listing.

ABPP Moulton Supervision Office

The local supervision office for Lawrence County is the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles Moulton Field Office. ABPP's location page and office article identify the office as serving Lawrence County probationers, parolees, and mandatory supervised release individuals. That local detail matters because a released person can be outside jail or prison while still under supervision.

The ABPP office page is the main source for office contact details. The ABPP Moulton article provides the local service description. Use the office for supervision questions, not as a replacement for the jail's release record.

The ABPP scheduled-hearing page shows public parole-hearing data. The scheduled parole hearings page and related XML can be searched by AIS, name, and conviction county. The results table is separate from a jail release record.

The ABPP scheduled-hearing page is shown in this captured source image from the manifest.

The hearing schedule helps identify board review activity, while the actual release and supervision status still require ABPP, ADOC, and court confirmation.

Lawrence County Community Corrections

Lawrence County also has a Community Corrections Program listed by ADOC. It is not a jail roster and not a public release feed. It is a local sentence-management and supervision path that may appear when a court order moves a person from jail into a local program or places a person under community-based controls.

The ADOC community-corrections list identifies Lawrence County Community Corrections Program at 534 Lawrence Street, Moulton, AL 35650, with phone 256-203-5598 and director Alan Last. The research also captured email contacts for the program. The key user-facing point is that community corrections should be checked through the court order and program office, not guessed from the sheriff inmate feed.

Parole

Board-authorized release from prison to supervision.

Probation

Court-ordered supervision tied to a sentence.

Mandatory supervised release

A required supervision period after certain prison releases.

Discharge

The end of a sentence or supervision term, as shown by the proper agency record.

Lawrence County Violations and Absconders

A release date is a past event. A supervision violation is a later status change. ADOC definitions state that parole status can include being currently on parole, declared delinquent, or revoked. If a person is declared delinquent or has a revocation matter, the court, ABPP, and custody records may all need to be checked.

Alabama Code Section 15-22-26 sets the parole-release standard, while Section 15-22-28 is tied to parole eligibility consideration. ABPP's FAQ explains that sentence, crime, jail credit, ability to earn good time, time served, and court orders can affect eligibility. A parole consideration date or reset date is not the same thing as physical release from prison or jail.

Note: A parole result marked reset should be read as a future docket timing issue unless ABPP records show a different action.

Lawrence County Supervision Records

Supervision records may be split among several offices. Jail records show release from the Lawrence County Detention Center. Court records show sentence and probation orders. ABPP records show parole, state-supervised probation, mandatory supervision, hearings, results, and local field-office supervision. Alabama VNS can provide custody-change notifications for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody.

Public-record access is governed by Alabama Code Sections 36-12-40 and 36-12-41, subject to exceptions. Some juvenile, youthful-offender, sealed, expunged, medical, victim-identifying, investigative, and security-sensitive information may be restricted. When a supervision question also asks whether a person was released from jail, use Lawrence County released inmates records and the jail phone to separate physical release from later supervision.
