How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Alabama facilities commonly use scheduled video sessions or kiosk stations for visitation, though some locations may offer limited in-person contact. All visits are typically monitored and recorded. Before visiting, you'll need to be added to the inmate's approved visitor list. You may also need to complete a visitor questionnaire or background check. Many facilities require you to register for a visitation account online or at a lobby kiosk, then schedule your visit ahead of time. How far in advance you can book, visit length, and visitor limits all vary by facility. On visit day, sign in, show a photo ID, and follow staff or kiosk instructions. If you need to add funds to an inmate's account, common options include online deposits, phone payments, Cash Pay Today locations, or mailed money orders.
