ADOC Inmate Search (official) (opens in new tab) Alabama facility status
How to search: enter the person's legal last and first name, or their ADOC (Alabama) ID number if you have it. Nicknames and misspellings usually return nothing; try fewer letters or a different spelling of the name. Mail must include the person's AIS number.
What the dates mean: any dates shown, such as admission, sentence or projected release dates, come from ADOC (Alabama)'s own records. Projected dates can change (for example with earned credits, discipline or parole decisions) and are not a guarantee. Ask ADOC (Alabama) or the facility before making plans around a date.
OutSooner does not store or list anyone's name, date of birth or ID number. The search runs on the official site.
