Red Eagle Community Work Center Overview
Red Eagle Community Work Center is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections at 1290 Red Eagle Road in Montgomery. ADOC classifies it as a Community Work Center with minimum-out custody. The population documented in the research is male, and the facility's mission is tied to work programs, reintegration, and outside agency assignments in the Montgomery area. That role is materially different from the Mac Sim Butler county jail, which holds adult pretrial detainees, recent arrestees, county inmates, holds, and people awaiting bond or court transfer.
ADOC says Red Eagle opened in 1972 on 364 acres about three miles north of Montgomery. The official description includes a local historical note: "Red Eagle" was the Indian name given to William Weatherford, born near the Alabama River near Coosada and likely on Red Eagle property. The facility's present correctional function centers on suitable surroundings, work programs, and staff support to assist male inmates reintegrating into society. Inmates work for state, city, county, and federal agencies in the Montgomery area.
The ADOC Red Eagle Community Work Center page was captured as the matched image source for this facility.
This facility screenshot supports the Red Eagle page because it shows ADOC's own facility listing, including the state source users need for custody and work-center details.
Red Eagle Capacity and Population
The research file records ADOC bed occupancy or inmate population of 299 for Red Eagle Community Work Center on the inspected ADOC page dated May 27, 2026. The same research identifies the custody label as MIN-OUT, with Alabama Department of Corrections as operator and Southern Region as the ADOC region. Because this is a live correctional population figure, it should be read as a dated facility source, not a fixed capacity guarantee or a county jail statistic.
Red Eagle should be grouped with Montgomery County's state correctional facilities, not with city or county jail pages. A person at Red Eagle has already moved into ADOC custody. That means an ADOC AIS number, institutional assignment, and state release-date fields matter more than a county booking number or the recent-arrest portal.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Red Eagle
Use the ADOC inmate search to look up a person assigned to Red Eagle Community Work Center. The Montgomery County sheriff portal covers current county inmates, recent arrests in the last 96 hours, and outstanding warrants. It is not the lookup path for sentenced state prisoners in a community work center. ADOC search is current-inmates only, and historical data is not published online through that locator.
- Open the ADOC inmate search and start with the AIS number if court or family paperwork has it.
- If no AIS number is available, search by first and last name, using more complete spelling when common names return too many results.
- Review the institution field in the result and confirm whether it lists Red Eagle Community Work Center or another ADOC placement.
- Use the facility phone for visit and local operating questions after confirming state custody.
ADOC explains that the AIS number is a unique six-digit identifier and that entering it causes first and last name fields to be ignored. Name searches are open-ended, and the result limit is 50. If a person is not found in ADOC, they may still be in county jail, released, in court transition, held in federal custody, or not included because of Youthful Offender Act exclusions. The correct fallback depends on the custody stage.
Red Eagle Address and Contact
Red Eagle's contact information belongs to ADOC, not the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. Call the facility for local visit information, delivery restrictions, and work-center operating questions. Use ADOC central records or the statewide locator for broader state-custody identification questions, especially when a person has moved between institutions.

Visiting Someone at Red Eagle
ADOC facility pages state that visitors should contact the facility for visitation hours and information. The research does not provide a public weekly Red Eagle schedule, so the page should not invent one or import the county jail's Saturday and Sunday video visitation timetable. Red Eagle is a state community work center; visit approval, eligibility, identification, and facility conditions can control whether a visit occurs.
| Visit Topic | Documented Rule | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Published hours | Contact facility for visitation hours and information. | Current date, time, and approval status |
| Facility status | ADOC community work center, not county jail video visitation. | Visitor list and inmate eligibility |
| Identification | Specific Red Eagle ID rules were not captured in the research. | Accepted ID before traveling |
| Schedule changes | State facilities can change access for operations or security. | Same-week confirmation with staff |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Red Eagle
Red Eagle follows ADOC statewide mail and money systems. The research file says ADOC personal mail has gone digital, with tablet delivery after processing. Personal mail must use the ADOC processing address and include the inmate's name and AIS number. Packages and legal mail continue through the local facility address, subject to ADOC rules and any Red Eagle restrictions.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Personal Mail | ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing, Inmate Name - AIS number, P.O. Box 17339, San Antonio, TX 78217. |
| Legal Mail / Packages | Use Red Eagle's local address and confirm current ADOC package rules before mailing. |
| Money Deposit | Access Secure Deposits / Access Corrections by online debit or credit, phone, walk-in cash location, or money order with coupon. |
| Money Order Address | Secure Deposits - Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. |
ADOC deposit fees in the research range by amount and channel. Internet deposits are listed from $2.95 to $7.95, phone deposits from $3.95 to $9.95, walk-in cash deposits at $3.95, and money orders with no listed service charge. Those fee ranges are statewide ADOC facts and should not be applied to the Montgomery County jail or the City Municipal Jail.
Work-Center Assignment and Intake
Red Eagle is not a street-arrest booking location for Montgomery County. A local arrest may begin with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, the City of Montgomery, or another agency, but state work-center placement happens later in the custody path. After conviction and ADOC transfer, classification and institutional assignment determine whether a person is placed at a work center such as Red Eagle. The public result to check is the ADOC institution field, not the county jail's BookNum profile.
The work-center role also affects the practical questions families ask. Because inmates may be assigned to work details with state, city, county, or federal agencies, schedules and movement can be operationally sensitive. Visitors and correspondents should rely on facility confirmation rather than assuming a standard county-jail schedule or a public housing location.
About Red Eagle Community Work Center
Red Eagle's documented programs reflect the reintegration purpose of a community work center. ADOC identifies work assignments with public agencies in the Montgomery area. The research also lists religious programs supervised by a part-time chaplain and Adult Education and GED through Ingram State Technical College. These programs distinguish Red Eagle from a high-security prison intake unit and from the downtown county jail, where the official sources inspected did not publish a comparable program list.
The historical note about William Weatherford and the 364-acre setting gives Red Eagle a local identity, but users should keep the custody question simple. If the person is in ADOC custody at Red Eagle, search ADOC. If the person was recently arrested and no sentence or ADOC transfer has occurred, search Montgomery County current inmates or recent arrests first. If the case is federal, use BOP or federal court channels instead.
Note: Confirm custody and the current visit process with Red Eagle before traveling or mailing anything time-sensitive.
