Locate Childersburg Facility Inmates

Childersburg Facility Inmate Overview

The Childersburg Community Based Facility and Community Work Center is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections. ADOC identifies the facility as a Community-Based Facility / Community Work Center in Talladega County, Region Northern, for male inmates. Its custody designations are MIN-COMM and MIN-OUT, which makes the facility different from a secure county jail intake center and different from a higher-security state prison.

ADOC definitions explain the custody terms in practical ways. Minimum-Out inmates may be assigned to off-property work details without direct correctional-officer supervision and are generally suited to community work centers. Minimum-Community inmates may work full time in the community and are supervised in community-based facilities when not working. Those terms affect movement, job assignment, visitation expectations, and the kind of programs available.

The facility opened in 1990 and is the strongest official reentry source located in Talladega County research. ADOC says Childersburg offers educational, drug treatment, and reentry programs alongside community work and work release. Inmates may work for government agencies, maintain facility property, work in a small farm project, or work for private employers at prevailing wages when assigned to work release.

The ADOC Childersburg facility profile shows the facility's population, custody level, program narrative, money links, and phone links.

The ADOC facility screenshot is the correct source family for Childersburg because its inmates are state prisoners, not Talladega County Jail detainees.

Childersburg Facility Population

ADOC listed bed occupancy / inmate population as 401 for the Childersburg Community Based Facility and Community Work Center on the facility page inspected May 27, 2026. That number is a facility population or occupancy figure from ADOC, not a Talladega County Jail count. The statewide ADOC inmate search page inspected the same day showed 27,601 total inmates statewide, but that statewide total should be used only as state-prison context.

Look Up Childersburg Facility Inmates

The correct locator for Childersburg Community Based Facility and Community Work Center is the statewide ADOC inmate search. ADOC says its search covers currently incarcerated Alabama Department of Corrections inmates. It does not provide historical data online at this time, and Youthful Offender Act inmates are not included. If an AIS number is entered, the system ignores first and last name fields because AIS is the unique inmate number.

1. Open the ADOC inmate search page, not the Talladega County Sheriff's Citizen Connect jail roster.
2. Enter the AIS number when known. ADOC defines AIS as the unique six-digit number assigned to an inmate.
3. If no AIS number is known, search by first name, last name, or both. ADOC notes that a partial last name can return beginning-of-name matches.
4. Review the result and confirm that the facility is Childersburg Community Based Facility and Community Work Center.
5. If the person does not appear, consider whether the person is still in county jail, no longer in ADOC custody, federal, or otherwise outside ADOC's published search scope.

The ADOC search has a result limit of 50 records shown at one time in name order. That limit makes exact spellings, AIS numbers, and careful name variations useful. A person sentenced from Talladega County can leave the county jail roster after transfer to ADOC, so family members should switch from the county roster to ADOC once state custody begins.

The ADOC inmate search page image in the manifest shows the search fields and statewide population context used for state-prison lookup.

The locator screenshot reinforces the main distinction for Childersburg: the state AIS or name search is the right path, while the county roster is for local jail bookings.

Childersburg Facility Address

Use the facility phone for operational details, current visitation information, and facility-specific questions. ADOC pages provide the statewide lookup and service links, but the Childersburg facility is the direct source for day-of visit status and local operating instructions.

Childersburg Facility Visitation

The ADOC Childersburg facility page does not publish a fixed visitation schedule in the research. It says to contact the facility for visitation hours and information. That instruction should be followed exactly. State-prison visits can depend on approval status, the inmate's classification, work-release schedule, discipline status, count, transportation, and facility operations.

Because Childersburg is a work release and community work setting, an inmate's daytime location may differ from a traditional housing unit schedule. Calling ahead helps avoid a wrong trip, especially when an inmate is assigned to private employment, government-agency work, Work Keys classes, or another approved program.

Childersburg Mail and Money

ADOC money for Childersburg inmates goes through the statewide Access Secure Deposits system. ADOC lists online, phone, walk-in CashPayToday, and money order options. Phone deposits use (866) 345-1884. CashPayToday registration and locations are available through CashPayToday or 844-340-CASH. Money orders are sent to Secure Deposits - Alabama DOC, PO Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132.

ADOC's current mail rule is important. The ADOC inmate-mail family information states that after October 27, 2025, all personal mail is digitally delivered through inmate tablets. Personal mail should be addressed to ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing, Inmate Name - Inmate AIS number, P.O. Box 17339, San Antonio, TX 78217. The sender's full name and physical address must appear in the top-left corner. Packages and legal mail continue to follow facility-specific channels, so they should be confirmed before mailing.

Childersburg Transfer and Intake

Childersburg does not function like Talladega County Jail booking. County jail booking starts after arrest and may lead to bond, first appearance, release, transfer, or local sentence service. Childersburg placement begins in the state-prison system after ADOC custody and classification. The important public distinction is that the sheriff roster answers local jail questions, while ADOC controls state-prison assignment, custody level, facility transfer, and program placement.

Once a sentenced inmate is moved to ADOC, the person may no longer appear on the Talladega County Jail roster. The ADOC locator and facility contact then become the main route for confirming custody. For people still awaiting trial or held on recent local charges, the county jail should be checked first.

Childersburg Work Release Programs

ADOC describes Childersburg as a facility with education, drug treatment, reentry, community work, and work release. Work-release inmates may work for private employers for prevailing wages. Unemployed work-release inmates work on property or attend Work Keys classes through Central Alabama Community College. The facility also uses government-agency work assignments and a small farm project.

The farm detail is unusually specific in the official research. ADOC says the small farm project can reduce outsourced produce orders by 80%-100% during peak harvest seasons. Religious programming is also described as broad and daily, with a volunteer chaplain and certified volunteers. These facts make Childersburg a reentry and work-centered state facility rather than a local arrest holding center.
