Check ADOC Work Center Releases

Mobile Work Center Releases

Mobile Community Based Facility and Community Work Center is an Alabama Department of Corrections facility in Mobile. ADOC says it holds Minimum-Community and Minimum-Out custody inmates. Research Section 11 states that it opened in May 1978 and that release confirmation should move through ADOC, not the Mobile County Sheriff's Office roster. That distinction matters because community custody and work placement are still state custody until ADOC records show release, discharge, parole, mandatory supervision, transfer, or another status change.

For a person released from this facility, the ADOC record is the starting point. ADOC says the AIS number is a unique six-digit number and the quickest way to find a specific inmate. If the AIS field is entered, it controls the search and the name fields are ignored. Review the status, location, minimum release date, parole consideration date, and parole status definitions. If the public search is not enough, ADOC public records and ABPP supervision contacts provide the fallback.

Confirm an ADOC Release

Use ADOC Inmate Search for this facility. The Mobile County Metro Jail roster is not the right release source after a person is in state custody. The county court record may explain how the person reached ADOC, but ADOC and ABPP explain the state custody exit.

1. Search ADOC by AIS number when available. Use exact name only when the AIS number is unknown.
2. Review the location and status fields to see whether the person is still assigned to Mobile, transferred, or released.
3. Check ADOC definitions for Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, and Parole Status before treating a date as final.
4. Use ABPP hearing results or the Mobile Field Office when parole, mandatory supervision, or probation is the issue.
5. Request ADOC public records if a final release/discharge date or non-confidential release sheet is needed.

The broader Release Date Lookup page explains why Alabama's Minimum Release Date can change. This facility page applies that rule to the Mobile ADOC work center.

The ADOC facility detail page is a matching source for this facility. The ADOC Mobile Community Based Facility page identifies the facility and custody level, while the screenshot below shows the state source readers should distinguish from county jail pages.

Use that ADOC source for state custody details. Do not use it to confirm a short Mobile County jail bond release unless the court record shows an ADOC commitment or transfer.

ADOC Records and Contact

For a state release or discharge record, use ADOC public records rather than MCSO Civil Division. ADOC lists a Public Records Coordinator email and phone. The ADOC public-records form asks requesters to use the official process and include the processing fee stated on the form. A precise request should include the person's AIS number, full name, date of birth if known, facility, and the requested fields: final release date, release facility, release type, supervision status if public, and non-confidential sentence or discharge data.

About Mobile Community Work Center

This facility is a state community based facility and community work center. ADOC says it holds Minimum-Community and Minimum-Out custody inmates, including people assigned to outside placements in Mobile and Baldwin counties. That makes it a local bridge between prison custody, supervised release, and community placement. It is not a county jail, so its release records should not be described as Mobile County Metro Jail releases.

Community custody can be easy to misunderstand. A person may work outside the secure perimeter and still be in ADOC custody. The release record should show whether the person discharged, paroled, entered mandatory supervision, transferred, or remained under state control.

ADOC Minimum Release Date

ADOC's exact public term is Minimum Release Date. ADOC defines it as the earliest scheduled date an inmate can be released to probation or end of sentence. It can change if disciplinary action removes good time or if the circuit clerk sends new cases or sentence changes. That makes the date useful, but not final by itself.

The ADOC definitions page is a matching source for this facility because it defines Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, and Parole Status. The image below reflects that definitions source and should be read with the offender search result, not in isolation.

For actual release confirmation, pair the minimum date with ADOC status, ABPP status, VINE notification, and the final release or discharge record.

Supervision After Mobile ADOC Release

A person leaving this ADOC facility may not be fully discharged. Parole, mandatory supervision, probation, and registry duties can continue after the physical custody exit. ABPP handles parole and probation field supervision in Alabama, and its Mobile Field Office serves Mobile County. ADOC announced mandatory-supervision releases under Alabama Code Section 15-22-26.2, so some people leave prison before final sentence expiration and remain under ABPP supervision.

Parole

Conditional release from prison after a Board decision.

Mandatory supervision

A statutory supervision path before final sentence end for certain ADOC inmates.

Discharge

Sentence completion or custody end, subject to any separate court or registry duties.

Note: A Mobile ADOC work-center release is a state release path; county jail roster disappearance is not the controlling record.
