Holman Correctional Facility, AL

Mail at Holman Correctional Facility gets inspected, and many Alabama facilities use third-party scanning—your letter may be scanned and handled according to facility policy. Sending money? Mail a money order to Access Corrections at PO Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132, and include the required deposit coupon (print it from accesscorrections.com or pick one up at the facility). Keep money-order deposits clean: no cash, personal letters, stamps, photos, or notes. For approved property and hygiene packages, use Union Supply—you can order online, by phone, or by mail. Always use the inmate's full legal name, any required ID number, and your complete return address.

Holman Correctional Facility accepts mailed money orders through Access Corrections. Send deposits to Alabama DOC, PO Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132, and include the Money Order Deposit Form (printable from accesscorrections.com). Use U.S. funds drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Don't include cash, letters, photos, stamps, or notes—those can cause rejection or delays. Mailed deposits can take up to a week to process. Online, phone, or vendor app options often post faster, sometimes within 24 hours. Daily money-order deposits max out at $900. Federal rules require the sender's Social Security number for deposits of $3,000 or more. Include clear recipient details; returns may come with a $25 handling fee.

Start with Alabama's public online inmate-search tools and rosters. You can search current confinements, recent admits, and releases using a name, booking number, or—best of all—the AIS number. The AIS is a unique six-digit identifier that usually returns an exact match and avoids the mix-ups that happen with common names. If results seem incomplete, refine your query. Many public tools cap results around 50 records, and admit/release lookups may need a narrow date range. Once you confirm someone is in the Alabama DOC system, deposits go through Access Corrections (online, phone, card, or mailed money orders) and cash deposits at registered CashPayToday locations.

Holman Correctional Facility won't release an incarcerated person's health records without written authorization. That authorization stays valid for one year and can be revoked in writing (except for records already released). Some health information needs extra permission: HIV/STD results, psychiatric or mental-health records, and drug or alcohol treatment records all require separate express consent. Sending property, hygiene items, or other approved packages? ADOC orders for Holman go through Union Supply—online, by phone, or by mail. Expect about two weeks for approval and another two weeks for delivery. For context, intake at Alabama facilities typically includes medical and mental-health screening plus a reception period that often lasts around two weeks. Bring a photo ID and any required property-release forms when picking up property.
