Inmate Lookup

To look up someone at Frank Lee Work Release, use the facility's inmate-search page and enter the inmate's AIS (Alabama Institutional Serial) number if you have it. The AIS is a unique six-digit identifier, and the search prioritizes it over name fields for the quickest exact match. Keep searches tight: the ADOC system only displays up to 50 records at a time, so broad last-name queries can hit the limit and hide additional matches. Don't have the AIS? Try the person's full name and add a booking number or narrow the admit/release date range to reduce results. If you still see too many similar names, rerun with the AIS or a tighter date range to locate the correct profile.

Facility Info

At Frank Lee Work Release, intake follows Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) reception procedures. New arrivals are photographed and fingerprinted, then complete medical and dental exams along with psychological testing and interviews. Reception and initial classification wrap up within about two weeks, and a Time Sheet with sentence details is issued shortly after. Each inmate is then assigned a Classification Specialist who handles custody level and placement recommendations—reach them through an inmate request slip or at scheduled Open House meetings. For medical records, ADOC requires a signed health-records authorization (valid for one year). You can revoke it in writing, though that won't undo disclosures already made. Sensitive records like HIV/STD results, psychiatric records, or drug/alcohol treatment records require expressed consent before release.
