Locate Holman Release Records

Holman State-Prison Releases

William C. Holman Correctional Facility is an ADOC correctional facility at 866 Ross Road in Atmore. ADOC says Holman opened in December 1969, is located north of Atmore, and includes high-security custody functions, death-row and execution roles, and minimum-through-close custody inmates. Those facts matter because a release from Holman follows state-prison release rules, not the county detention center's 48-hour roster rules.

Public lookup before release should use ADOC's current inmate search. After release, the public search may no longer return the person because ADOC says the database contains only currently incarcerated inmates and historical data is not available online. Confirmation then shifts to Alabama VNS, ABPP if the person is on parole or mandatory supervision, the sentencing court, or an ADOC records request.

Confirm Holman Release Status

Start with ADOC while the person remains in custody. Search by AIS number if possible because ADOC identifies AIS as the unique six-digit number and the quickest exact search. If AIS is unknown, use first and last name. Once release occurs, use VNS, ABPP, court records, or ADOC records because the public inmate search is not a historical release database.

1. Search ADOC inmate search by AIS or name.
2. Read Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, Parole Status, Jail Credit, and good-time fields when available.
3. Check Alabama VNS for ADOC-sentenced-offender notification coverage.
4. Use ABPP hearing results and the Brewton Field Office for parole or supervision questions.
5. Request ADOC or court records if a formal discharge trail is needed.

Holman Records and Contact

ADOC facility sources list Holman in Escambia County with an Atmore address and phone number. The facility contact can help identify the institution, but public release records may require ADOC records, VNS, ABPP, or court channels rather than a call to the county jail.

Because Holman has a statewide correctional role, its release record should be treated as an ADOC record unless county jail records show a separate local booking.

Holman Release Date Records

ADOC defines Minimum Release Date as the earliest scheduled date an inmate can be released to probation or end of sentence, and Parole Consideration Date as the tentative date set by the Parole Board. A person housed at Holman may also have Good Time Received, Good Time Revoked, Jail Credit, parole status, and sentence data. Those fields can change due to discipline, new cases, sentence changes, or jail-credit updates.

Alabama Code Section 14-9-41 governs correctional incentive time. Alabama Code Section 15-22-28 affects parole consideration timing, including the 85-percent or 15-year rule for listed Class A felony cases and one-third or 10-year timing for many other prisoners. Alabama Code Section 15-22-26.2 governs mandatory supervision release for eligible ADOC defendants. These rules explain timing, but the actual release still needs confirmation.

Holman in Escambia County

Holman's Atmore location is a local reason Escambia County pages must distinguish county jail releases from state-prison releases. The county's 48-hour release feed covers releases from the Escambia County Detention Center. Holman releases move through ADOC, VNS, ABPP, court, or formal state records. If a person left Holman and later entered county custody, that later county booking has its own separate release record.

Note: Search Holman as an ADOC facility first, then use county records only for separate Escambia jail bookings.

Holman After Release Checks

After a Holman inmate leaves ADOC custody, the public ADOC search may no longer show the person. That is a limitation of the public search, not a complete explanation of the release. Use Alabama VNS for ADOC-sentenced-offender notification, ABPP for parole or mandatory supervision, and court records for the sentence or later order that affects the release.

Holman's high-security role also makes precise custody routing important. Do not assume a county jail feed will confirm a state-prison release. Use the Escambia County jail system only if there is a separate local booking or transfer into county custody.

Holman Supervision After Release

A Holman release may lead to parole, mandatory supervision, or discharge. ABPP is the supervision agency when a person leaves ADOC under parole or mandatory supervision. The Brewton Field Office is the local Escambia County supervision office, and ABPP hearing results can show grants, denials, and continuances. A grant still requires release coordination, so it should be paired with VNS, ADOC, or ABPP confirmation.

Mandatory supervision under Alabama Code Section 15-22-26.2 is a state-prison rule, not a county jail rule. It can place eligible ADOC defendants under ABPP before the release date. That is why a Holman release record may point to supervision even after the person is no longer in prison.

Holman Record Request Details

A Holman records request should include the person's full name, AIS number, approximate custody dates, sentencing county, and the specific record needed. Ask separately for release confirmation, sentence information, transfer history, or discharge records. If the issue is jail credit from Escambia County, compare ADOC fields with the sentencing court record.

Holman Court Record Link

Court records remain part of a Holman release search because they show the sentence, sentencing county, jail credit, revocation, or later court order that affected custody. ADOC fields show the prison calculation, but the court record can explain the legal basis for that calculation. If Escambia County supplied jail credit or sentencing records, the local clerk may be relevant even though Holman is operated by ADOC.
