The Fate of Convicted and Sentenced Inmates at Madison County Jail

Madison County Jail is majorly a detention facility that holds offenders temporarily before they face a judge or magistrate for trial or sentencing. As such, most offenders do not last here for more than 72 hours. Moreover, the inmates with minor charges can explore pre-trial release arrangements such as bail, probation, and own recognizance, among others. Consequently, after their trials and sentencing, the offenders who receive long sentences above two years join the custody of the larger state and federal correctional facilities while illegal immigrants go to ICE custody. However, at the direction of a judge, an inmate who gets less than two years of incarceration can serve their time here.

Inmate Mugshots

Mugshots are jail processing photographs that the facility takes during the intake process. Typically, the photos feature a frontal and a side photo and often hold inmates' full names and prison booking numbers. The mugshots appear on the facility's inmate search webpage, and you can see them by entering an inmate's legal name and booking on the inmate search button.
