North Alabama Community Work Center

North Alabama Community Work Center's inmate handbook has a dedicated visitation section covering rules and procedures. Alabama facilities commonly use remote video visits or kiosk-based stations, though some still allow limited in-person visits—personal visits are typically monitored. You'll likely need to be added to an approved visiting list, and you may have to complete a visitor questionnaire or background check before you're cleared. Plan to register for a visitation account (or use an on-site kiosk if required) and schedule your visit ahead of time based on the facility's booking window. On visit day, bring a valid photo ID, sign in at the kiosk or front desk, use the assigned visitation station, and follow staff instructions.

ADOC-approved inmate incentive and hygiene packages for North Alabama Community Work Center must be ordered using the approved order forms at www.alinmatepackage.com. Family and friends can place package orders through Union Supply—online, by phone, or by mail. Sending funds by money order? Follow the deposit form instructions closely and don't include cash, letters, stamps, photos, or notes with the money order. For regular correspondence, expect non-legal incoming letters to be opened and inspected for contraband and security concerns. To avoid delays or returns, use standard addressing: include the incarcerated person's full name, any required ID information, and your complete return address on every piece of mail.

Alabama's public inmate-search tools let you look up current confinements, recent admits, and releases statewide. For the fastest, most accurate match, use the AIS number—a unique six-digit identifier. Don't have one? Search by the inmate's full name or booking number, and narrow the date range for admit/release queries when the tool requires it. Public rosters can cap results and may show basic booking details with links to fuller inmate profiles, so tighter search terms help when you get too many matches. Facility documents also note that inmate files are reviewed periodically for custody or placement eligibility. Staff can involve the ADA Coordinator for language or disability assistance, and the ADOC facility listing has contact details.
