Elmore Correctional Facility Records

Releases from Elmore Correctional Facility

Elmore Correctional Facility is an ADOC male facility at 3520 Marion Spillway Road in Elmore, Alabama. ADOC lists it in Elmore County and provides the facility phone as 334-567-1460. Because it is a state prison, a release from Elmore Correctional Facility may be end of sentence, parole, mandatory release, transfer to another ADOC facility before final discharge, or another state-custody movement.

The most common mistake is treating an Elmore Correctional Facility release as an Elmore County Jail release. The shared county name does not mean the sheriff controls the prison record. If the person was serving an Alabama felony sentence, use ADOC and ABPP sources first. If the person was only booked locally at the county jail, use the sheriff and court path instead.

How to Confirm an ADOC Release

ADOC's inmate search is useful while the person may still be incarcerated, but the research notes a strict limitation: the public database contains currently incarcerated inmates only and historical data is not available online. Not finding a person in ADOC may be consistent with release, but it is not a certified discharge record by itself.

1. Search ADOC by AIS number if available, or by name with careful comparison of suffix, middle name, race, sex, facility, commit county, and case number.
2. Save current fields before release if possible: AIS, facility, custody, offense, sentence date, total term, jail credit, minimum release date, parole consideration date, and parole status.
3. If the person no longer appears, request public release or discharge information from ADOC records.
4. Contact ABPP if parole, probation, mandatory release, or another supervision status follows the prison release.
5. Check the sentencing court because commit county and case number connect the ADOC record to the court disposition.

For broader one-person routing, the Elmore County released inmate search should be read as a decision tree: state prison equals ADOC, ABPP, VNS, and court records; county jail equals sheriff, jail records, and Elmore court records.

Elmore Correctional Facility Records and Contact

For a release record, ask ADOC for public release or discharge data tied to the AIS number, full name, date of birth if known, commit county, case number, facility, release date, release type, and any public supervision handoff. The current ADOC public-record request form states a non-refundable $20 processing fee and uses the ADOC public-record process under Administrative Regulation 023.

About Elmore Correctional Facility

Elmore Correctional Facility is one part of Elmore County's state-prison cluster. The local release map includes Elmore, Staton, Julia Tutwiler, Frank Lee, and the planned Governor Kay Ivey Correctional Complex. Transfers among ADOC facilities do not equal community release, so the facility field should be reconciled with parole status, release date fields, and the court case before drawing conclusions.

The ADOC Elmore Correctional Facility page is the source shown below, and it should be used for state-prison facility context rather than county-jail release records.

Minimum Release Date Is Not Final Release

ADOC uses the field label "Minimum Release Date" for the earliest scheduled date an inmate can be released to probation or end of sentence. ADOC states that this date can change if disciplinary action removes good time or if the circuit clerk sends new cases or changes the sentence. Parole consideration date is separate. It is a tentative Parole Board marker, not a walk-out date.

For someone at Elmore Correctional Facility, jail credit may trace back to a county jail before sentencing. If jail credit appears wrong, the sentencing court or circuit clerk is the source of that credit information, while ADOC applies it to the state sentence. That is why the court record remains part of the release-confirmation path even for a prison release.

Supervision After Elmore Release

If release from Elmore Correctional Facility is parole, probation, mandatory release, or another supervised status in Elmore County, the ABPP Wetumpka Field Office is the local supervision contact. It is located in Room 173 of the Elmore County Judicial Building at 8935 U.S. Highway 231 in Wetumpka and serves Elmore County. A parole grant is not the same as immediate physical release because ABPP verifies the home plan and coordinates with ADOC.

Alabama VNS is a notification route for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody. It is useful for registered custody-change notifications, but it does not replace ADOC records, ABPP supervision verification, or the sentencing court record.

What Not to Infer

For Elmore Correctional Facility, the most important review point is what the public search does not prove. A current ADOC result proves only that ADOC is reporting current custody information through the public search at that moment. A missing current result does not, by itself, prove the person was released to the community. It may reflect discharge, transfer timing, a name variation, a restricted record, data lag, or the fact that the search is not a historical database.

Likewise, a minimum release date is not the same as a certified release date. It is a sentence and time-credit calculation that can move when good time is revoked, new cases are sent by the circuit clerk, or the sentence changes. A parole consideration date is also not a release date. It is a board-related marker, and ABPP still has to act before a parole release can happen. If the person is believed to have left Elmore Correctional Facility, the stronger record set is ADOC records for the release event, ABPP for supervision, and the sentencing court for the sentence and case outcome.

That distinction is the core Elmore County issue: same county, different custodian, different record.
