Find Alex City ADOC Releases

Alex City Release Path

Alex City Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center is a state ADOC facility in Tallapoosa County. ADOC identifies it as a male Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center in the Southern Region, with custody designations of minimum-community and minimum-out. A person leaving this facility is leaving a state custody setting or moving within the state custody and supervision system. The Tallapoosa County Sheriff's jail desk is not the primary source for an Alex City ADOC discharge unless the same person also had a separate county jail booking.

The release path can include ADOC custody records, Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles supervision, Alabama VNS notification, and the sentencing court. If a person is still in ADOC custody, the ADOC inmate search is the first public check. After release, the public search may not work as a historical archive. At that point, use an ADOC public-records request, ABPP records if supervision applies, VNS if the person is covered, and the court record for the sentence or release order.

Confirm Alex City ADOC Release

Start with custody status. If the person is currently in ADOC custody, search by name or AIS number in the ADOC public inmate search. If a current record appears, read the facility, custody status, and release-date fields carefully. If the person does not appear, do not assume a local jail release. ADOC's public search is mainly useful for current custody, and the research notes that historical release data may not remain available online for the public.

When the public search does not answer the question, move to records and supervision channels. ADOC Administrative Regulation 023 says public-record requests must be submitted in writing on ADOC Form 023-A to the Public Records Coordinator and must include requester information, a detailed description, preferred format, certification option, proposed use, and signature. The captured public-record request form listed a non-refundable $20 processing fee. If the person moved to parole, probation, or mandatory supervision, ABPP may be the better source for current supervision status.

1. Search the ADOC inmate search first if the person may still be incarcerated.
2. Use the AIS number, full name, and date of birth when available to avoid false matches.
3. If the record is gone or incomplete, request the ADOC custody or release record in writing.
4. Check ABPP if the release involved parole, probation, mandatory supervision, or field-office reporting.
5. Use court records when the question is about the sentence, disposition, or order that set release terms.

The general Release Date Lookup path is useful for projected or tentative dates before release. For a confirmed past ADOC release, the key is not a county recent-release feed. It is the state record, the supervision record, and the court record that explains why state custody ended.

Alex City Facility Contact

The official ADOC facility page lists Alex City Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center on Highway 22 W in Alex City, Alabama. Phone contact is through the facility number. Facility staff may route current custody questions, but formal release records and copies may require ADOC's public-record process rather than an informal facility call. Ask whether the person is currently assigned there, has been moved, or has been released or discharged from ADOC custody.

For written release proof, describe the requested record as narrowly as possible. Include the person's full legal name, AIS number if known, date of birth, facility name, approximate release date, sentencing county if known, and whether the request seeks custody status, release date, or discharge information. If a certified copy is needed for court or personal records, ask ADOC records staff how certification is handled before sending the request.

About Alex City Work Center

ADOC identifies Alex City as a Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center in Tallapoosa County. The captured facility page lists a male population or occupancy around 211 and places it in the Southern Region. It also says the center opened in September 1974. The custody designation includes minimum-community and minimum-out, which means the facility is not a county jail and not a high-security prison. It is part of Alabama's state corrections system.

ADOC explains minimum-community custody as a status where inmates may have community-based full-time work and are supervised in community-based facilities when not working. The facility page also describes community work services for the Tallapoosa County Commission, Adopt-A-Mile participation, substance-abuse recovery classes, religious services, and minimum-custody classification. Release content should treat those facts as custody context, not as a promise about a person's placement or readiness for release.

The ADOC Alex City facility page is the matching source for the facility identity, custody designation, region, address, and contact details.

The ADOC page is the correct facility source because Alex City releases are state custody events, not Tallapoosa County Jail release-list entries.

County Jail vs Alex City Release

Alex City creates a common Tallapoosa County research problem. The facility is local in geography, but state-run in custody. Someone searching for Tallapoosa County released inmates may see Alex City and assume that the Sheriff's jail records office tracks every release from that location. It does not. The Sheriff's jail handles county detention at Tallapoosa County Jail. ADOC handles state custody at Alex City Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center.

If a person had both a county booking and a later state sentence, both columns may matter. The county record can show release or transfer from jail, while the ADOC record can show state custody, projected release, discharge, or supervision transition. Treat the records as a timeline.

Supervision After Alex City Release

A person leaving Alex City may move to parole, probation, mandatory supervision, end of sentence, or another ADOC setting. Parole is supervised release approved through the parole system before the full sentence ends. Probation is a court sentence or court-ordered supervision that can apply without a full prison term. Mandatory supervision is a state-law release structure that applies to certain ADOC sentences before the end date. Each status has a different record owner.

The Tallapoosa County ABPP field office is in Dadeville at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, Room 18, 125 North Broadnax Street. That office is the local supervision contact for many Tallapoosa County questions after ADOC release. The ABPP Dadeville Field Office listing gives the phone, fax, and weekday hours. Use it when the question is current supervision rather than the fact that ADOC custody ended.

ADOC release

State custody ends or changes status under the Alabama Department of Corrections.

Parole

Supervised release under the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles before the full sentence expires.

Mandatory supervision

A state-law supervision period before the release date for certain ADOC sentences.

End of sentence

The custody term ends without continuing state supervision, unless another case or hold applies.

ADOC Records and VNS Limits

Alabama VNS and VINELink can help with covered custody notifications, but they are not a complete release archive. A person who was in Alex City ADOC custody may be covered while in state custody or around state release events. A person who only bonded out from Tallapoosa County Jail before trial may not appear in the ADOC-centered VNS path. That distinction is why the facility name and custody owner must come first.

For older records, ADOC's written public-record request route is more reliable than repeatedly checking the public search. The request should identify the facility and ask for the release, discharge, or custody status record. If the person was under parole or probation after release, ABPP may have supervision records. If the release question turns on the sentence, a court docket from Alacourt or the sentencing clerk may show the controlling order.

Note: ADOC public search is a current-custody tool first, so a missing result is not proof that no ADOC release occurred.
