Alexander County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. Questions about a person or record must go to the government office that created or holds it.
Start with Pulaski detention records
Alexander County inmates are housed at the Pulaski County Detention Center, and the reviewed official pages did not show a public live roster, booking search, or photo feed. For a county booking record, start with the official detention-center page and its FOIA instructions.

The instructions allow a request by mail, email, or hand delivery. Give the person's full name, a narrow arrest or booking date range, the arresting agency if known, and the requester's mailing address and email. Ask whether a booking photograph is releasable and request an estimate before charges are incurred because fees may apply.
For the arresting-agency fallback, contact Alexander County Sheriff Timothy Brown at 2000 Washington Ave., Cairo, IL 62914, phone 618-734-2141. The county's general route is 2000 Washington Ave., Cairo, IL 62914, phone 618-734-7000, when the correct custodian is unclear.
City routing needs care. The latest state 911 material lists Cairo Police at 1513 Washington Ave. with phone 618-734-2131, while an earlier official document lists 1501 Washington Ave. with the same phone, so call before mailing or visiting. State 911 records list Tamms Police at P.O. Box 69, Tamms, IL 62988, and at 425 Front St., Tamms, IL 62988, with phone 618-747-2326; verify which address handles records. Current county 911 material does not establish a separate East Cape Girardeau police participant. Use the village route at 60 Brookwood, McClure, IL 62957-9801, and the sheriff when the current arresting agency is not known. The source documents are the current county 911 participant record, the Tamms listing, and the East Cape and McClure listing.
Use the route that matches the question:
- Booking record or photo: send a narrow request to Pulaski's FOIA officer, and use the Alexander County records hub for the request sequence.
- Current custody or an unclear arresting agency: ask the Alexander County Sheriff which records custodian handled the event.
- Cairo, Tamms, or East Cape Girardeau: verify the local agency first, then use the appropriate Cairo, Tamms, or East Cape Girardeau routing page.
- Case number, warrant event, or court outcome: contact Circuit Clerk Carey L. Simmons at 618-734-0107 or search Alexander County Judici. The Sheriff's Most Wanted page explains the warrant-check path.
- Release, transfer, or no online alert: ask Pulaski for the date-limited booking, release, transfer, or discharge record. No official Alexander County feed cadence was located.
- Illinois state custody or parole: use the IDOC offender search; it is for state custody, not the county jail.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP locator for federal prison custody or the ICE locator for current immigration detention. These systems do not establish an Alexander County booking photo.
