Elmore Correctional Facility Overview
Elmore Correctional Facility is a medium-custody Alabama Department of Corrections prison in Elmore County. ADOC identifies the facility as male, Northern Region, and located north of Montgomery in Elmore. The prison opened in 1981 and is part of the state system, so it is not searched through the Elmore County Jail roster. The county jail may hold people waiting for transfer, but a person received by ADOC belongs in the state locator.
The facility is one of several ADOC sites physically located in Elmore County. It sits in the same broader corrections corridor as Staton Correctional Facility and Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women, while Frank Lee Community Based Facility and Community Work Center operates in Deatsville. For inmate search purposes, that geography can cause confusion. The facility name, ADOC AIS number, and current listed location should be checked before sending mail, money, or visitation requests.
Elmore Correctional Facility Population
ADOC listed bed occupancy or inmate population for Elmore Correctional Facility as 1167 on the inspected facility page in the research file. That number is a state-prison figure, not the Elmore County Jail population. It reflects ADOC's facility listing and should be treated as a custody-system count for sentenced state inmates at this specific prison.
ADOC inmate search and statewide population totals exclude Youthful Offender Act inmates. The locator also covers current incarcerated ADOC inmates only, so it is not a historical prison archive. If a name search is too broad, ADOC may show only the first 50 matching records in name order. An AIS number is therefore the best search key when the family, court record, or lawyer has it.
Search Elmore Correctional Facility Records
Use the ADOC inmate search to find someone at Elmore Correctional Facility. The county jail roster is the wrong tool once a person is in state prison. ADOC says the AIS number is a unique six-digit Alabama Institutional Serial number, and entering it takes precedence over name fields. First and last name can also be searched, and last-name searches can return names beginning with the entered characters.
- Open the ADOC inmate search and enter the AIS number if available.
- If the AIS number is unknown, search by first name, last name, or both.
- Review the results for the facility location and current ADOC custody status.
- If no record appears, confirm whether the person is still in Elmore County Jail, released, in federal custody, or not currently incarcerated by ADOC.
| ADOC field | How it works | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| AIS # | Exact six-digit state inmate number | Overrides name fields when entered |
| First Name | Optional name field | Can return broad results |
| Last Name | Open-ended beginning-string search | Only first 50 matches show if over limit |
| Facility | Shows listed ADOC location | Must be verified before visits or mail |
Elmore Correctional Facility Contact
Contact the facility for visitation hours, current housing-related questions, and facility-specific instructions that ADOC does not publish in the general locator. Use the ADOC facility page as the source for the prison address, custody level, program list, and phone number. Do not use the sheriff's jail phone for a person already listed at Elmore Correctional Facility.

Elmore Correctional Facility Visits
ADOC's Elmore Correctional Facility page instructs readers to contact the facility for visitation hours and information. That is the controlling facility-specific source in the research file. State-prison visitation should not be treated like the Elmore County Jail's NCIC video system. State facilities generally involve ADOC rules, approval, scheduling, identification, dress standards, and security screening, and those details should be confirmed directly with the prison before travel.
The key practical point is custody status. A person waiting in Elmore County Jail for transfer is still under county jail rules. A person listed at Elmore Correctional Facility is under ADOC rules. Search the locator first, then call the facility if the location is current. If an inmate has moved to another ADOC facility, visitation and mail should follow the new listed institution.
| Topic | Published status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation hours | Contact facility | Call 334-567-1460 before travel |
| Visit type | ADOC facility rules apply | Confirm approval and scheduling |
| County video visits | Not the prison process | Do not use county NCIC rules for ADOC visits |
Note: Confirm the inmate's ADOC location on the day of travel because facility assignments can change.
Elmore Correctional Facility Mail and Money
ADOC facility pages link to statewide services such as Send Money, Send Incentive Package, Send eMessage, Inmate Phone System, and Send Footwear Package. Those ADOC services are the proper channels for Elmore Correctional Facility. The county jail's postcard-only mail rule, Stacy Williams commissary, NCIC video account, and correctpay deposit path are county-jail rules and should not be copied to a state prison inmate.
Before sending money, packages, or messages, confirm the AIS number and current facility in the ADOC locator. A transfer to Staton, Tutwiler, Frank Lee, or another state facility can affect mail routing, visitation access, package eligibility, and phone setup. ADOC service links are also subject to vendor rules that may change, so the facility page and ADOC service pages should be checked before payment.
| Service | Provider / detail | Use at Elmore CF |
|---|---|---|
| ADOC inmate mail rules | Use ADOC format and current facility location | |
| Money | ADOC Send Money link | Confirm AIS number before deposit |
| Phone | ADOC Inmate Phone System / ICSolutions | State prison phone process |
| Packages | ADOC incentive or footwear package links | Follow ADOC eligibility and vendor rules |
Elmore Correctional Facility Intake
Elmore Correctional Facility is not a street-arrest booking jail. Intake into this prison follows state custody after conviction, sentencing, commitment, or transfer within ADOC. A person may appear first in Elmore County Jail after arrest, then move into ADOC custody later. Once ADOC receives and classifies the person, the statewide locator becomes the place to check the inmate's listed facility and current custody status.
Classification is the prison process that helps determine custody level, housing, work assignment, program access, and security needs. The research does not publish a step-by-step Elmore Correctional Facility intake checklist, but it does identify the prison as medium custody and male. If a family member cannot find a newly sentenced person, check the county jail first, then ADOC, because transfer timing can create a short gap between local custody and state listing updates.
