Locate St. Clair Correctional Facility Inmates

St. Clair Correctional Facility Overview

St. Clair Correctional Facility is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections at 1000 St. Clair Road in Springville. ADOC identifies it as a male facility in the Northern Region and describes it as close custody, while other ADOC source text labels it Maximum or level-five maximum custody. That security description means the prison is for sentenced state prisoners under ADOC control, not for a person newly arrested in Pell City, Ashville, or another St. Clair County community.

The state prison opened in June 1983 and sits on 600 acres. ADOC describes Alabama Correctional Industries work, academic and vocational instruction through Gadsden State Community College, a medical infirmary with dental care, dialysis, cancer care, emergency room, and diagnostic services, and The New Outlook Therapeutic Community Program. These are prison operations. The sheriff's JailATM, InmateSales, bond, and local jail lobby rules do not apply to a person in ADOC custody at St. Clair Correctional Facility.

St. Clair Correctional Facility Population

The research contains several sourced population and capacity figures for St. Clair Correctional Facility. The ADOC facility page captured in May 2026 listed bed occupancy or inmate population as 1,089. The 2024 PREA final audit listed a designated facility capacity of 1,195, an average daily population of 1,000 for the prior 12 months, and 1,040 people confined on the first day of the March 2024 onsite audit. A separate ADOC PREA auditor report listed current capacity as 1,123. Because these numbers come from different ADOC and PREA sources, they should be labeled by source and date.

St. Clair Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Use the ADOC inmate search for a person believed to be at St. Clair Correctional Facility. The county jail roster does not cover ADOC prison custody. A person arrested in St. Clair County may appear first on the sheriff roster, then later move to ADOC after conviction, sentencing, and transfer. Once that happens, the state locator is the current custody tool.

1. Open the ADOC inmate search page.
2. Search by AIS number when known because ADOC says AIS takes precedence over name fields.
3. Use first name, last name, or both when no AIS number is available.
4. Check the result limit warning because ADOC displays a maximum of 50 records at one time.
5. Confirm that the institution or custody status points to St. Clair Correctional Facility before planning contact or visitation.

St. Clair Correctional Facility Contact

Contact the prison directly for visitation hours, institutional rules, and current ADOC procedures. The facility address and phone are published by ADOC. The county sheriff's detention phone can help with county jail custody, but it is not the prison information line for sentenced ADOC inmates.

Visiting St. Clair Correctional Facility

The ADOC facility page says to contact the facility for visitation hours and information. The captured source did not publish a St. Clair-specific schedule. Prison visits are different from county jail video visits because ADOC visitors must follow state prison approval, identification, scheduling, dress, search, and conduct rules. Call the facility before travel and use ADOC's current instructions rather than county jail visit rules.

Note: A prison locator result should be confirmed before travel because transfers, lockdowns, or status changes can affect visitation.

St. Clair Correctional Facility Mail and Money

ADOC facility pages link state-prison service channels such as Send Money, Send Incentive Package, Send eMessage, Inmate Phone System, and Send Footwear Package. The research also notes ICSolutions links for e-message and phone services. Those ADOC links are the correct starting point for a St. Clair Correctional Facility prisoner. County jail vendors such as JailATM and InmateSales are for St. Clair County Jail and should not be used for state prison custody unless ADOC separately directs that route.

St. Clair Correctional Facility Programs

ADOC and PREA materials provide detailed prison program information. The facility operates Alabama Correctional Industries vehicle restoration and a chemical plant. It offers academic and vocational classroom settings through Gadsden State Community College. ADOC and PREA sources list adult basic education, GED, electrical, welding, masonry, HVAC, anger management, stress management, coping with incarceration, motivation for change, pre-release, re-entry, therapeutic community programming, and faith-based programs.

The 2024 PREA audit describes 19 buildings and 22 housing units, including dormitory, infirmary, segregation, single-cell, and multi-cell areas. It also describes medical, mental health, food service, laundry, ACI, gym, barber shop, inmate canteen, storage, chapel, hobby shop, softball field, Native American spiritual grounds, Wiccan prayer area, law library, and leisure library spaces. These details show why the facility page needs a prison-specific treatment rather than a county jail template.

St. Clair Correctional Facility ADOC Page

The screenshot from the ADOC St. Clair Correctional Facility page shows the state prison contact and population context used for this facility record.

That ADOC source is the correct page for prison-level custody, while the sheriff roster remains the source for St. Clair County Jail bookings.

St. Clair County Jail vs Prison

St. Clair County Jail and St. Clair Correctional Facility serve different custody stages. The jail receives local arrestees, houses pretrial detainees, handles county bond questions, and posts booking cards on the sheriff roster. The prison houses sentenced adult male ADOC prisoners and uses ADOC lookup, contact, visit, money, package, and phone systems. A person who disappears from the county roster after sentencing may appear later in the ADOC locator.
