Check Fountain Release Records

Fountain State-Prison Releases

G. K. Fountain Correctional Facility is an ADOC correctional facility at 9677 Hwy 21 N in Atmore. ADOC says Fountain opened in 1928, is on 8,200 acres about seven miles north of Atmore, and is classified as a medium custody correctional facility. That state-prison identity controls the release path. A person released from Fountain is not confirmed by the county jail's 48-hour feed unless the person also had a separate county jail booking.

After release, the record may move through parole, mandatory supervision, end-of-sentence discharge, court records, Alabama VNS, or ABPP supervision. If a person is released to ABPP supervision, the local office for Escambia County is the Brewton Field Office. If the person is no longer in the ADOC public search, that may be consistent with release because ADOC says the public database is current-only and historical data is not available online.

Confirm Fountain Release

Use the ADOC public search before release and the notification or records channels after release. ADOC says an AIS number is the quickest exact search when known. Name search can be used, but displayed results may be limited. Read current-custody fields before release because they may disappear from the public search after the person leaves ADOC custody.

1. Search ADOC inmate search by AIS number when possible.
2. Read Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, parole status, jail credit, good time, and sentence fields when shown.
3. Use Alabama VNS or VINELink for custody-change notification where the person is covered.
4. Check ABPP hearing results or the Brewton Field Office if release is to parole or mandatory supervision.
5. Use ADOC records or court records for a formal discharge trail after release.

Fountain Records and Contact

Facility contact details come from ADOC facility sources. The facility page lists Fountain in Escambia County with the Atmore address and phone. For public release confirmation, the ADOC records channel, VNS, ABPP, and the court record are more relevant than a county jail records request unless there was a separate county booking.

The ADOC Fountain facility page screenshot below documents the facility source used for this release path.

That ADOC source confirms the facility context and keeps state-prison release instructions separate from county jail instructions.

Fountain Release Date Fields

For people still in ADOC custody, the release-date language should follow ADOC's definitions. Minimum Release Date is the earliest scheduled release to probation or end of sentence. Parole Consideration Date is a tentative Parole Board date. Jail Credit is county jail time before sentencing, prepared by the sentencing circuit clerk. Good Time Received and Good Time Revoked can affect the date when the person is eligible for correctional incentive time.

Those fields are forecasts and planning data. A parole consideration date is not a release date, and a parole grant still requires home-plan verification and coordination. Once release occurs, use VNS, ABPP, court records, or ADOC records to confirm what happened.

Fountain in Escambia County

Fountain is one of the reasons Escambia County released-inmate searches need a state-prison branch. Many counties only have a county jail release feed. Escambia County has the Brewton county jail plus major ADOC facilities in Atmore. The former Atmore Community Work Center history also means older articles may refer to local ADOC custody locations that do not match current lookup routes.

Note: A release from Fountain should be verified as an ADOC release unless a separate county booking exists.

Fountain After Release Checks

After a person leaves Fountain, ADOC's public search may stop being useful because it is current-only. That is when VNS, ABPP, court records, and formal ADOC requests become the release-confirmation chain. If release was to parole or mandatory supervision, ABPP can identify the supervision channel, and the Brewton Field Office is the local office for Escambia County supervision matters.

For sentence questions, compare ADOC definitions with the sentencing court record. Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, jail credit, and good-time fields are planning fields, while a completed release or discharge may require a record from the agency that created it.

Fountain Supervision After Release

A Fountain release may lead to parole, mandatory supervision, probation, or sentence discharge. ABPP is the agency to check when the person is under parole or mandatory supervision. The Brewton Field Office serves Escambia County, while statewide ABPP pages publish hearing schedules and hearing results. A grant in a hearing result should be treated as one step in the release process, not as the physical release timestamp.

Mandatory supervision under Alabama Code Section 15-22-26.2 can place eligible ADOC defendants under ABPP before the release date. The statute includes sentence-length ranges and exclusions. This is especially relevant to Fountain because it is a state-prison facility, and a person can leave prison while still having reporting obligations.

Fountain Record Request Details

A useful Fountain records request should include the person's full name, AIS number if known, date range, sentencing county, and the specific record sought. Ask for release or discharge confirmation, sentence data, custody history, or transfer information as separate items. If jail credit from Escambia County is disputed, the sentencing court and circuit clerk may need to be checked alongside ADOC.

Fountain Court Record Link

Court records remain important after a Fountain release because they can show the sentence, sentencing county, jail credit, revocation, or later order that affected custody. ADOC fields explain the prison record, while the court explains the legal authority behind it. If the person was sentenced in Escambia County, the Escambia Circuit Clerk may be part of the release-date or jail-credit trail even though Fountain is an ADOC prison.
