Overview
William Donaldson Correctional Facility follows Alabama DOC communication practices. Incarcerated people can place outgoing calls but cannot receive regular incoming calls. Calls and many electronic messages are monitored and recorded. Video visits and electronic messaging are typically handled through third-party vendors or statewide programs. Availability, scheduling, and the vendor used can vary by facility, so you'll usually need to create an account with the approved vendor before scheduling. To add money for phone, video, or commissary use, ADOC directs you to set up an Access Corrections account at www.accesscorrections.com or call (866) 345-1884. ADOC accepts four deposit methods and publishes a fee schedule. Fees vary by deposit amount and channel, so check current fees before sending money.
