How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting Fountain Correctional Center takes some prep, especially your first time. Hours, visit length, and whether visits are face-to-face or video can vary—confirm the current schedule and rules before making the trip. You'll typically need to be on an approved visiting list, and some facilities require a visitor questionnaire or background check first. Many Alabama facilities use remote video visits or kiosk-based check-in, and visits are monitored and recorded. Schedule in advance through an online account or lobby kiosk. Need to add funds too? ADOC accepts deposits online or by phone through Access Corrections, at CashPayToday retail locations, or by mailed money order.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
Start by asking the incarcerated person to submit your name for approval, and check whether the facility requires a visitor questionnaire or background check. If online or kiosk registration is part of the process, complete that registration before you try to schedule a visit.
Bring a valid photo ID and arrive on time to sign in. If the facility uses video visitation, you’ll check in at the assigned kiosk or visitation station and follow staff instructions, and the visit may be monitored and recorded.
ADOC directs families to use Access Corrections for online or phone deposits, make cash deposits at CashPayToday retail locations, or mail a money order. For step-by-step help, use the facility’s “send money” instructions.
