Alex City Facility Overview

The Alex City Community-Based Facility/Community Work Center is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections. It is located on Highway 22 W in Alex City and is listed by ADOC in Tallapoosa County. Its custody levels are MIN-COMM and MIN-OUT, which means the population is very different from newly arrested county jail detainees at Tallapoosa County Jail.

ADOC describes Minimum-Out inmates as eligible for off-property work details without direct correctional-officer supervision, generally assigned to community work centers. Minimum-Community inmates may have full-time gainful employment in the community while supervised in community-based facilities when not working. The facility holds male Alabama DOC inmates, including community work and work-release participants.

Alex City Facility Population

ADOC listed Alex City Community-Based Facility/Community Work Center with bed occupancy or inmate population of 227 as viewed May 27, 2026. That number is a state-prison figure. It is not part of the Tallapoosa County Jail's average daily population and should not be used as a local pre-trial jail count.

Look Up Alex City Facility Inmates

Use the ADOC inmate search for people assigned to Alex City Community-Based Facility/Community Work Center. Do not use the Tallapoosa County sheriff as the primary lookup for a sentenced ADOC inmate. ADOC search covers currently incarcerated state inmates, excludes Youthful Offender Act inmates, and does not provide historical released data online.

1. Open the ADOC inmate search.
2. Search by AIS number when available because it is the fastest unique key.
3. If AIS is unknown, search by first name, last name, or both.
4. Check whether the result shows the Alex City facility or another ADOC assignment.
5. Call the facility before using visitation, money, or mail options because rules can change.

Alex City Facility Contact

The ADOC facility page gives the physical address and phone. The ADOC facility list gives a mailing address. Use the facility phone for visitation hours and current information before travel or before sending money, mail, messages, packages, or footwear.

Visiting Alex City Facility

The ADOC page says to contact the facility for visitation hours and information. That is the official schedule finding. State-prison visitation should be treated as an approval and scheduling process, not as a county jail lobby visit. Call the facility before travel and use current ADOC rules for identification, visitor approval, dress code, and check-in.

Alex City Mail Phone Money

The ADOC facility page links to Send Money, Send Incentive Package, Send eMessage, Inmate Phone System, and Send Footwear Package. ADOC homepage notices state that Access Secure Deposits is ADOC's exclusive depository provider and that ICSolutions began inmate communication services August 1, 2025. Another ADOC notice says inmate mail went digital October 27, 2025.

Alex City Facility Programs

ADOC says Alex City opened in September 1974. The facility provides community work services to the Tallapoosa County Commission, including Adopt-A-Mile participation. It has a full-time Drug Treatment Counselor coordinating AA and NA classes, and weekly religious services are provided by denominational volunteers. ADOC also describes a strong working relationship with Alex City employers and the community.

Work release is central to this facility. ADOC says employment of work-release participants typically has remained at 100%. That detail should be read in context: the facility is minimum custody, and its population is already in the state-prison system. A person newly arrested in Tallapoosa County should still be checked with the Tallapoosa County Jail first.

The ADOC facility page is the official source for the Alex City custody level, population, contact information, and program summary.

The image helps distinguish this state facility from Tallapoosa County Jail because it shows ADOC as the operator and lookup source.

Alex City Custody Follow Up

For county booking and charges before a state-prison transfer, use jail and court records. For current ADOC placement, sentence custody, messages, money, or facility visitation, use ADOC. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE. The same person can pass through more than one system as an arrest becomes a court case and a sentence.

Alex City also has local context that does not apply to the county jail. ADOC says the facility provides community work services to the Tallapoosa County Commission, including Adopt-A-Mile work, and maintains relationships with Alex City employers. Those details fit a minimum-custody work-release setting. They should not be read as rules for newly arrested people, pre-trial defendants, or misdemeanor jail commitments at Tallapoosa County Jail.

When a search result shows this facility, use ADOC communication and deposit systems rather than sheriff contact channels. When a person is not found in ADOC search, check the spelling, AIS number, Youthful Offender exclusion, release possibility, or whether the person is still in county jail or federal custody. No single Tallapoosa County page covers all of those stages.

County court records can still matter for the original Tallapoosa case, but facility assignment, custody level, visits, packages, and phone accounts are ADOC matters after transfer. Keep the court question and the prison-contact question separate. If the ADOC profile changes facility, follow the new facility's rules before sending mail or money.
