Mount Meigs Campus Overview
Mount Meigs Campus is run by the Alabama Department of Youth Services, commonly called DYS. The official DYS page places the campus at 1000 Industrial School Road in Montgomery and provides a mailing address at P.O. Box 66, Mt. Meigs, Alabama 36057. DYS says the campus sits next to I-85 about 15 miles east of downtown Montgomery and beside the DYS Central Office. It serves adjudicated male youth up to age 21, with most students ages 16 to 19.
This facility must be handled separately from the adult custody systems in Montgomery County. It is not the Mac Sim Butler Detention Facility, not the City Municipal Jail, not Kilby, not Montgomery Women's Facility, and not a BOP camp. The research describes Mount Meigs as the most secure DYS facility for older youth. Juvenile court and DYS custody are governed by different access rules, and Alabama Code Section 12-15-133 makes juvenile court, legal, and social records confidential except for statutory exceptions.
The official DYS Mount Meigs Campus page was captured as a successful matched screenshot for this facility.
The image is used here because it documents the DYS source for Mount Meigs rather than an adult jail or prison lookup tool.
Mount Meigs Capacity and Population
The research did not locate an official whole-campus capacity figure for Mount Meigs. That gap matters because the county Youth Facility has a documented 52-bed juvenile detention capacity, while Mount Meigs is a separate state DYS campus for adjudicated youth. Those two youth facilities should not be merged into one number. The safest published statement is that DYS serves older adjudicated male youth at Mount Meigs and that most students are ages 16 to 19, while a campus-wide capacity was not located in the official source reviewed.
Because youth custody is confidential, public population and roster practices do not resemble the adult sheriff portal. The Montgomery County adult current-inmates grid, the ADOC inmate search, and the BOP locator all serve different systems. None should be presented as a public Mount Meigs roster.
How to Look Up Youth at Mount Meigs
There is no public adult-style inmate search for Mount Meigs in the research file. Use DYS and juvenile-court channels, and expect identity and relationship verification. Juvenile records are confidential under Alabama law, so the correct path is not a public name grid. Parents, legal guardians, counsel, and authorized parties should work through the youth's case manager, DYS contacts, or the juvenile court process rather than the Montgomery County sheriff's inmate and warrant portal.
- Start with the DYS case manager or official DYS contact connected to the youth's placement.
- Use juvenile court or counsel for court-record questions because public adult court search rules do not apply the same way.
- Confirm whether the youth is at Mount Meigs Campus, another DYS placement, or a county youth facility.
- Do not use the county jail roster, ADOC inmate search, or BOP locator as proof of Mount Meigs custody.
This page intentionally uses "lookup" in a narrow sense. For Mount Meigs, lookup means locating the proper official channel and verifying that the requester is allowed to receive information. It does not mean public mugshots, public booking profiles, or a current-inmates grid. Alabama juvenile confidentiality is the central rule.
Mount Meigs Campus Address and Contact
Use the campus phone and DYS contacts for placement, visit scheduling, and program questions. The physical campus address is different from the mailing address. The DYS Central Office is nearby, but the research assigns the campus itself to Industrial School Road and lists the Mount Meigs postal address separately.

Visiting Someone at Mount Meigs
The official research states that visits are scheduled through the youth's case manager. It does not provide a public walk-in schedule, online visitation calendar, or adult jail video-visitation vendor. That should be reflected plainly. Because the facility serves juveniles and young adults under DYS authority, case planning, guardianship, identification, behavior rules, and safety requirements can affect whether a visit is approved.
| Visit Topic | Documented Rule | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | Visits are scheduled through the youth's case manager. | No public adult jail-style schedule was located. |
| Eligibility | Authorized family or approved contacts should verify through DYS. | Expect relationship and identity checks. |
| Record access | Juvenile records are confidential except as allowed by law. | Public roster access is not appropriate. |
| Before travel | Confirm date, time, ID, and rules with the case manager. | Do not rely on county jail visit rules. |
Mail, Contact, and Support at Mount Meigs
The research file does not document an adult-style commissary vendor, money-deposit fee table, or public inmate phone vendor for Mount Meigs. That absence is important. Youth facility support should be routed through DYS and the youth's case manager, not through the ADOC Access Corrections system or the Montgomery County jail mail format. Use the campus contact before sending property, funds, or personal items.
| Service | Documented Detail |
|---|---|
| Mailing Address | P.O. Box 66, Mt. Meigs, AL 36057 is listed for the campus. |
| Case Contact | Visits and family coordination route through the youth's case manager. |
| Money / Commissary | No public vendor or fee schedule was located in the research. |
| Phone / Messaging | No public adult-style phone or tablet provider was documented for this page. |
Juvenile Placement and Intake
Mount Meigs is tied to juvenile adjudication and DYS placement, not adult arrest booking. DYS overview material explains the agency's relationship to juvenile courts, and the Mount Meigs page describes programming for adjudicated male youth. A youth may move through juvenile court, county youth detention, assessment, and DYS placement before arriving at Mount Meigs. That pathway is not shown in the sheriff's BookNum-based public profile system.
The distinction is especially important in Montgomery County because the county has both a county Youth Facility and the state DYS Mount Meigs Campus. The county Youth Facility's history includes juvenile detention rooms in the old courthouse, a 1969 move, and a 1990 expansion to 52 detention beds. Mount Meigs is a state campus for older adjudicated youth. Each has different record access and contact rules.
About Mount Meigs Campus
DYS documents a broad program list at Mount Meigs. Programs include the Accountability Based Sex Offense Prevention Program through Auburn University, substance-use treatment, an Intensive Treatment Unit, L.B. Wallace School, welding, brick masonry, business management, building construction, GED, distance learning, Boys and Girls Club of the River Region, Hope Inspired Ministries workforce training, and Aramark In2Work food-service training. These details show that the campus is built around youth rehabilitation, education, treatment, and workforce preparation rather than adult jail intake.
The research file also notes a December 2024 AP report involving alleged sexual assaults at the Montgomery County Youth Detention Facility after two detention officers were charged. That item concerns the county youth facility, not Mount Meigs Campus. It is a reminder to keep facility names precise when discussing juvenile custody in Montgomery County. DYS, county juvenile detention, adult jail, ADOC, and BOP are separate systems.
Note: Confirm placement, visit approval, and any permitted information through DYS or the youth's case manager before traveling.
