Locate Easterling Correctional Facility Inmates

Easterling Correctional Facility Custody

Easterling Correctional Facility is a state prison operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections in Clio. ADOC lists Easterling as a male, medium-custody facility. It is physically in Barbour County, but it is not part of Barbour County Jail and it is not operated by the sheriff. The people housed there are sentenced state prisoners in ADOC custody, so the correct lookup channel is the statewide ADOC inmate search.

ADOC custody terms differ from county jail terms. The Barbour County Jail roster covers local sheriff custody after arrest, short county sentences, probation holds, failure-to-appear matters, and people waiting for transfer. Easterling covers state prison custody after a sentence and ADOC classification. A person may first appear on the county roster after arrest, then later appear in ADOC's records after sentencing and transfer. That move changes the record source, the inmate number, the mail rules, and the visitation process.

ADOC says Easterling opened in March 1990 and sits on 200 acres on Alabama Highway 10 East in Clio. The official facility page lists drug treatment counseling and vocational or educational programming through Wallace Community College and Ingram State Technical College. The research also found ADOC program references for drafting, industrial electricity, cabinet making, plumbing, brick masonry, Electrical, Drafting and Design Technology, and Carpentry.

Easterling Correctional Facility Population

Official ADOC pages checked on May 27, 2026 showed Easterling with 1,391 inmates on the facility page and 1,393 bed-occupancy entries on the statewide facility address table. Those two ADOC pages do not always synchronize at the same moment, so the current facility page should control for a live figure. A separate official PREA audit for Easterling reported 1,214 confined inmates on the audit day and listed 959 admissions during the prior 12 months.

The 2024 PREA audit also reported 96 staff, 60 volunteers, and 66 contractors. Those figures help describe the scale of the prison but should not be read as current staffing totals unless ADOC republishes them in a current source. Easterling's public population values belong to ADOC, while the Barbour County Jail snapshot belongs to the sheriff roster.

Easterling ADOC Inmate Search

Use the ADOC inmate search for Easterling. The state locator searches currently incarcerated ADOC inmates and does not provide historical prison data online. It also excludes inmates sentenced under Alabama's Youthful Offender Act from the inmate search and population totals. The fastest search uses the AIS number, which is the six-digit Alabama Institutional Serial number assigned to an ADOC inmate. If AIS is entered, ADOC ignores first-name and last-name fields.

1. Open the ADOC inmate search page, not the Barbour County Jail roster.
2. Search by AIS number when available, or use first name, last name, or a last-name prefix.
3. Review the result columns for AIS, inmate name, race, sex, birth year, institution, release date, and code.
4. Confirm that the institution lists Easterling Correctional Facility or the correct ADOC location.
5. If more than 50 records match, narrow the search because ADOC limits the displayed results.

The ADOC facility page is the right source for prison contacts and service links, while the statewide search is the right source for a current inmate lookup.

Easterling Facility Contact

Easterling's contact information comes from the official ADOC facility page and address table. Use the facility number for prison-specific questions about visits, mail, money, phone access, and local procedures. Do not use the Barbour County Jail line to confirm Easterling custody, because the sheriff roster and ADOC records are separate systems.

Easterling Prison Visitation

Easterling visitation follows ADOC prison policy, not the Barbour County sheriff's weekend jail visitation rules. Prison visits generally depend on current ADOC approval, schedule, identity, dress, conduct, and facility restrictions. The research did not extract a facility-specific hour block for Easterling, so the safest instruction is to use the Easterling ADOC page and the current ADOC visitation policy before travel.

Note: A county jail visit approval or rule does not carry over to ADOC prison visitation at Easterling.

Easterling Mail and Money

The Easterling facility page and ADOC service links control prison mail, money, messages, phone, incentive packages, and footwear packages. ADOC's statewide sources also reported that inmate mail goes digital as of October 27, 2025. Because prison mail and money rules change, use ADOC's current links before sending funds, packages, or correspondence. County jail services such as Pay Tel and JailATM are sheriff-jail links and should not be assumed for Easterling.

Easterling Prison Intake

Easterling intake is not street-arrest booking. For a Barbour County criminal case, a person may first be booked at Barbour County Jail and appear in local court records. If sentenced to ADOC custody, the person moves into the state prison system through reception, classification, and assignment. Classification is the prison assessment that helps decide custody level, housing, program placement, and security controls. ADOC then uses the AIS number and the state locator rather than the sheriff's booking number.

AIS

Commit county

Projected release date

An ADOC field that can change because of sentence credits, discipline, parole action, or other events.

About Easterling Facility

The 2024 Easterling PREA audit described a large prison campus with 15 separate buildings, including administration, health care, chapel and visitation, education, kitchen and food service, gym and law library, laundry, intake, canteen, dorms, restricted housing, and outdoor areas. The audit also noted that one dorm was temporarily closed for renovations during that audit period. These details add physical context that is not visible from the inmate locator alone.

ADOC also published an Operation Restore Order news release about a contraband raid at Easterling. The release described an early morning mass search with support from more than 200 county and state officials and identified Easterling as a medium-security prison housing about 1,200 inmates. For current custody, programs, and contact information, the official ADOC facility page remains the primary source.

Easterling's Barbour County location can create confusion for families who begin with the sheriff's jail roster. The county roster is built for current local jail custody and booking records. Easterling is different. It is a state prison, so an Easterling inmate profile is searched through ADOC by AIS number or name, and any court history should be checked through the court that sentenced the person. If a person was first arrested in Barbour County and later sentenced, the custody trail may pass from the jail roster to Alacourt and then to ADOC.

Program and facility details should also be read as state-prison information, not county jail information. ADOC links control money, messages, incentive packages, footwear packages, inmate phone service, and prison mail policy. The sheriff's Saturday and Sunday county jail visitation notes do not set Easterling visiting rules. Families should check ADOC approval and scheduling requirements before travel because state prison visits normally depend on the prison's current approval process and statewide policy, current security status, and housing assignment.
