Locate Elba Facility Inmates

Elba Facility Inmates

Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections. ADOC classifies the facility as a community-based facility and community work center for male state inmates. It is not a county jail, not a booking desk, and not the first lookup channel for a new Coffee County arrest. The correct inmate record path is ADOC's statewide search, because people assigned to Elba are sentenced state inmates.

The facility address is 1620 Boswell Street, Elba, AL 36323, and ADOC's facility address list gives the mailing address as P.O. Box 710, Elba, AL 36323. The facility phone is (334) 897-5738. The 2024 PREA audit lists Darrick Rouse as warden, jail administrator, or director, with phone extension 102. ADOC describes Elba as a minimum-custody facility with MIN-COMM and MIN-OUT classifications, terms that fit its work-center and community placement role.

The ADOC Elba facility page is the matching official web source for this facility.

The screenshot supports the ADOC-specific identity of the Elba facility and keeps the state work-center details separate from Coffee County Jail custody.

Elba Facility Population

Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center has sourced population figures in state and audit records. The 2024 PREA audit, finalized March 24, 2024, listed a designed capacity of 250, a current audit population of 229, and an average daily population of 238 during the prior 12 months. The audit also said the facility was not over capacity during that period. ADOC's live facility page showed bed occupancy or population of 222 when inspected on May 27, 2026, but that live figure can change.

These figures should not be added to Coffee County Jail capacity. The Elba count is a state work-center population, while the Coffee County Jail population is a local jail question. The research did not locate an official county jail capacity or current jail count, so the two systems must stay labeled and separate.

Search Elba Facility Inmates

Use the ADOC inmate search to find a sentenced state prisoner assigned to Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center. A county jail phone call may confirm a recent local booking, but it will not reliably locate a sentenced ADOC inmate after transfer. ADOC results can show the institution field, which is where Elba may appear when a person is assigned there.

The official ADOC inmate-search form shows the statewide lookup used for Elba facility records.

The form image reinforces the main lookup rule: Elba records are searched through ADOC, not through a Coffee County Jail roster.

1. Open the ADOC inmate search. Use an AIS number when known because ADOC treats that number as the unique inmate identifier.
2. If the AIS number is not known, search by first name, last name, or both. Name searches may return broad results.
3. Review the result fields for AIS, inmate name, race, sex, birth year, institution, release date, and code.
4. Confirm that the institution field points to Elba or another ADOC facility before calling Elba for visit or communication details.
5. If the case is still pretrial in Coffee County, use the local jail or court channels instead of ADOC.

Elba Facility Contact

Facility contact should go directly to ADOC or to Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center. The county jail should not be used for state facility visits, work-release details, ADOC money deposits, ADOC mail, or ADOC communication accounts. The Coffee County jail may have been involved at arrest or local court stages, but ADOC controls the custody rules once a person is housed in state corrections.

Elba Facility Visits

ADOC's Elba facility page says to contact the facility for visitation hours and information. No public day-by-day visitation schedule was published in the official facility source. Because Elba is a state corrections facility, visits may depend on ADOC approval, custody status, facility schedule, work assignment, and operational restrictions. Visitors should not use Coffee County Jail visit rules for Elba.

Before traveling, confirm whether the inmate is eligible for a visit, whether the visitor must be approved, which identification is required, and whether the visit is affected by work-release duties or community assignments. ADOC and Elba can also confirm whether special restrictions apply to minors, property, clothing, medication, or holiday schedules.

Elba Facility Money

ADOC publishes statewide money and mail rules that apply to state inmates. ADOC uses Access Secure Deposits for inmate money, CorrLinks for digital messages, and ICSolutions for inmate communications beginning August 1, 2025. Personal mail changed to a digital processing model beginning October 27, 2025. Personal mail should be routed to ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing with the inmate name and AIS number, while packages and legal mail continue to use the local facility address when allowed by ADOC rules.

The ADOC inmate money page is the official source for deposit channels and the fee schedule.

The fee image belongs on the Elba page because Elba uses ADOC money rules, not Coffee County Jail's unpublished local deposit procedures.

ADOC money channels include Access Secure Deposits online, phone deposits at (866) 345-1884, CashPayToday for cash deposits, and money orders mailed with an Access Corrections deposit coupon to Secure Deposits - Alabama DOC, PO Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. Personal mail should include the sender's full name and physical address and should use ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing, inmate name and AIS number, P.O. Box 17339, San Antonio, TX 78217. ADOC states that personal mail sent to the facility after November 10, 2025 is not received under the digital mail process.

Elba Facility Programs

ADOC says Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center opened in June 1976. Its programs match its minimum-custody work-center purpose. ADOC lists adult basic education and AA/NA group sessions. It also identifies employment opportunities with automobile dealerships, welding fabrication, assembly lines, and construction companies. Inmates also provide services for local community work projects, which is central to the community-based facility role.

The 2024 PREA audit adds useful facility detail. It lists seven housing units, Level 2 medical with no infirmary, medical and mental-health routing through other ADOC facilities, religious services by volunteers, and weekly Celebrate Recovery. The audit population age range was 21 to 73, and the facility reported 10 volunteers. Those details support a reentry and work-release profile rather than a local booking function.

Elba Facility vs County Jail

Coffee County Jail and Elba Community Based Facility and Community Work Center serve different custody stages. Coffee County Jail is the sheriff-run local detention facility in New Brockton for arrests, booking, bond questions, municipal prisoners, short local custody, and pretrial cases. Elba is an ADOC state facility in Elba for sentenced male inmates in minimum-custody community and work-center status. A person can move from local jail to state custody after court action, but the lookup system changes once ADOC takes custody.

For a fresh arrest or bond question, start with the county jail. For a sentenced inmate assigned to Elba, use ADOC and then call the facility for visit details. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE systems because no Coffee County BOP or ICE detention facility was found.
