Bibb Correctional Facility Releases
Bibb Correctional Facility is a state prison operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections. A release from this facility is an ADOC release, not a Bibb County Jail release. That difference matters because the county sheriff's current-custody roster is not the right tool for a sentenced state prisoner leaving a prison in Brent. The statewide ADOC record, Alabama Victim Notification System, and Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles are the main release and supervision paths.
ADOC can show whether a person is still in custody, assigned to Bibb Correctional Facility, transferred to a different facility, approaching a Minimum Release Date, awaiting parole consideration, released to supervision, or discharged at end of sentence if the public record displays that status. Alabama VNS uses terms such as Release Date, Mandatory Release to Supervision, and Minimum Release Date for ADOC-sentenced offenders. ABPP becomes relevant when parole, mandatory release to supervision, probation supervision, delinquency, or revocation is part of the person's post-release status.
| State-prison event | What it means | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Still at Bibb | The person remains in ADOC custody at Bibb Correctional Facility. | ADOC inmate search by AIS number or name. |
| Transferred | ADOC moved the person to another prison or custody location. | ADOC current facility/status fields. |
| Parole or mandatory supervision | The person left prison but remains under supervision rules. | ADOC, Alabama VNS, and ABPP. |
| End of sentence | The ADOC sentence ended, subject to any other holds or court matters. | ADOC release indicators and VNS release fields. |
Confirm a Bibb Prison Release
Start with the ADOC inmate search. The fastest search is by AIS number, which ADOC describes as the unique six-digit number assigned to each inmate and the field that takes precedence in searches. Name fields may be used separately or together and are open-ended, so broad name searches can return multiple people. For a release check, match identifiers before relying on status, facility, or release-date fields.
The Bibb County sheriff roster is not a substitute for ADOC in this situation. A sentenced state prisoner at Bibb Correctional Facility will not be verified through a county jail release list just because the prison sits in Bibb County. The Bibb County released inmates search path should split local jail custody from ADOC custody at the beginning.
- Search ADOC by AIS number when available, or by first and last name when the AIS number is unknown.
- Confirm the person by name, AIS, offense, sentence data, and facility or status before reading release fields.
- Review Minimum Release Date as the earliest scheduled date, not a guaranteed release date.
- Check Parole Consideration Date and Parole Status separately from actual release or discharge.
- Use Alabama VNS for ADOC-sentenced release notifications and status changes.
- Use ABPP for parole results, mandatory-supervision follow-up, or local supervision routing.
Bibb Correctional Facility Contact
ADOC identifies Bibb Correctional Facility as a male, medium-custody state prison in the Northern region. The official facility page gives the prison address and phone number, while ADOC public-record rules govern written requests for state-prison records. Facility staff may answer general routing questions, but formal public-record requests for ADOC release records should follow ADOC Form 023-A and Administrative Regulation 023.

Phone: (205) 926-5252
Agency: Alabama Department of Corrections
For ADOC records, the research identifies a non-refundable $20 processing fee on Form 023-A. AR 023 says requests must be made in writing to the Public Records Coordinator and may be submitted by email to public.records@doc.alabama.gov, by hand delivery to the Legal Division at 301 South Ripley Street in Montgomery, by U.S. mail to P.O. Box 301501, Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1501, or by ADOC's listed electronic method. Ask for a specific existing record, such as the release or discharge entry for one named person, rather than asking ADOC to create a new summary.
About Bibb Correctional Facility
The ADOC Bibb Correctional Facility page confirms the prison's state role. ADOC lists the facility at 565 Bibb Lane in Brent, in Bibb County, in the Northern region. It is male and medium custody. ADOC's facility page shows bed occupancy / inmate population as 1,788, and the page identifies the prison as part of Alabama's state corrections system, not a county jail.
ADOC says the facility provides educational programming, substance-abuse treatment, self-improvement programs, medical, dental, and infirmary services. It also lists Ingram State Technical College programs in Carpentry, Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical. Those facts matter for release context because the facility is part of the state-prison sentence and reentry pipeline, not a short-term local jail roster.

Bibb Correctional Release Dates
ADOC vocabulary should be read precisely. Minimum Release Date means the earliest scheduled date an inmate can be released to probation or end of sentence under the current ADOC record. It can change if the inmate loses good time through disciplinaries, if a circuit clerk sends new cases, or if the current sentence changes. It is not a promise that the person will leave Bibb Correctional Facility on that date.
Parole Consideration Date is also separate. ADOC defines it as a tentative date set by the Parole Board. A parole hearing can be scheduled, granted, denied, continued, or reset, and a grant still has to move through home-plan verification and ADOC/ABPP coordination before release. Mandatory release to supervision is another path under Alabama law for eligible inmates. Alabama VNS may show Mandatory Release to Supervision as a projected supervision release field, while Release Date means actual release from ADOC custody when that field is present.
- Minimum Release Date
- ADOC's earliest scheduled release point under the current prison record.
- Parole Consideration Date
- A tentative parole-board processing date, not physical release.
- Mandatory Release to Supervision
- A statutory supervision release path for eligible ADOC inmates before end of sentence.
- End of sentence
- Completion of the prison sentence, subject to any other legal holds or requirements.
Bibb Prison VNS and ABPP
Alabama VNS is a strong fit for Bibb Correctional Facility because the VNS site says it is for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to prison or ADOC custody. Its FAQ identifies notifications for parole or pardon hearings, medical release, furlough or leave, mandatory release to supervision, changes in status or custody, end of sentence, and death. Those are state-prison events, not ordinary county jail bond-outs.
ABPP handles parole, probation supervision assigned to the Bureau, mandatory release to supervision, hearing resources, parole results, and absconder alerts. For Bibb County supervision questions, the Centreville Field Office serves Bibb, Hale, and Perry counties, but supervision office assignment depends on the release plan and county placement. If a person leaves Bibb Correctional Facility on parole or mandatory supervision, ABPP information should be read with the ADOC record and VNS status, not in isolation.
Note: Alabama VNS directs pretrial county-jail questions back to the county sheriff, which is why Bibb Jail releases and Bibb prison releases need different paths.
Bibb Facility Reentry Programs
Bibb County contains a major state-prison facility, and that changes the local release landscape. The ADOC facility page says Bibb Correctional Facility opened in July 1997, sits on 250 acres, and offers education, treatment, self-improvement, medical, dental, infirmary, and technical-college programming. This is the Section 19 local angle for the facility: Bibb County release searches may involve state-prison custody and reentry preparation, not just a county jail booking.
Program participation should not be treated as a public guarantee about a person's future status. It is facility context. The official release questions still come back to ADOC fields, VNS notifications, ABPP supervision status, and any court or detainer record that affects discharge. A person may complete programming and still remain in custody, transfer, face a parole decision, or leave under end-of-sentence or supervision rules.
Bibb Prison or County Jail
The most common Bibb County release error is mixing the county jail with the state prison. Bibb County Jail / Bibb County Law Enforcement Center is the sheriff-operated local jail. It is used for local bookings, current custody, bond-related release checks, and jail release records. Bibb Correctional Facility is a state prison. It is used for ADOC-sentenced inmates and state-prison release records.
If the person was arrested in Bibb County but never sentenced to ADOC, the jail and court docket are likely the main sources. If the person has an AIS number or appears in ADOC, the prison path controls. If a local jail record shows a transfer to ADOC, the jail release is only the handoff from local custody. The later prison discharge is confirmed by ADOC, Alabama VNS, ABPP, and any supervision record.
Bibb State Release Fields
A Bibb Correctional Facility release check should collect the ADOC fields that separate identity, custody, projected release, actual release, and supervision. The same person may have a facility status, a Minimum Release Date, a Parole Consideration Date, a Parole Status, and a VNS release-notification record. Each field answers a different question.
| Field | What it helps confirm |
|---|---|
| AIS number | The unique ADOC identifier and best search key. |
| Facility or status | Whether the person is at Bibb, transferred, released, or otherwise coded by ADOC. |
| Minimum Release Date | The earliest scheduled release point under the current state-prison record. |
| Parole Consideration Date | Parole-board processing timing, not a discharge date. |
| Parole Status | Whether parole is current, delinquent, revoked, or otherwise noted by ADOC. |
| Release Date | Actual ADOC release when shown by VNS or the relevant state record. |
