Inmate Lookup

Inmate searches for Childersburg Work Center run through the ADOC/Alabama online lookup. If you have the AIS (Alabama Institutional Serial) number, enter that first—this unique six-digit identifier takes precedence in ADOC searches and gives you the most precise match. The search tool caps results at 50 records, so a common last name can hit that limit fast. Don't have the AIS? Start with the person's full first and last name, then narrow your search using a booking number or a tight date range for admits/releases. Having the AIS, booking number, or specific dates ready usually gets you to the right profile faster.

Facility Info

Childersburg Work Center follows the ADOC inmate handbook. People in custody must follow both handbook and institutional rules—violations can lead to disciplinary action. During reception, intake includes photographing, fingerprinting, and physical, dental, and psychological screening. This process typically wraps up within about two weeks. After that, inmates get classification reviews at least once a year, with files reviewed every six months for eligibility changes. They can reach their Classification Specialist using a request slip or other facility procedures. Medical privacy matters here: the facility requires express consent to release sensitive health information (HIV/STD, psychiatric/mental health, and drug/alcohol treatment records). Health-record authorizations last one year and can be revoked in writing. Union Supply footwear/package orders need facility approval, which takes about two weeks before shipment.
