Warden Pamela Butler oversees Frank Lee. The facility houses male inmates, with a population of about 290. It's located in Elmore County.

Frank Lee opened in 1964 as a camp for first-time offenders. Today, the Frank Community Work Center is classified as minimum custody. That classification matters because it often determines eligibility for outside work assignments and other privileges.

The J.F. Ingram Trade School sits right next to Frank Lee and offers hands-on training. Programs include upholstery, welding, cabinetry, auto mechanics, barbering, furniture restoration, and GED classes. If your loved one wants to learn a trade, these are the programs to ask about by name.

Ingram State Technical College runs additional programs at Frank Lee. Options include Barbering, Cabinetmaking, Carpentry, CDL, Automotive Mechanics, HVAC, Marine Technology, Industrial Maintenance Technology, and Welding.

Frank Lee offers work release and community service opportunities. Inmates approved for these programs can work for businesses in surrounding communities. It's a real chance to build job experience and work history while still in custody.
