Public Records Policy

It is the policy of the ADOC to promptly respond to Public Record Requests, comply with applicable federal and state laws regarding release of ADOC Public Records, and assess fees associated with the cost of providing Public Records. The ADOC shall respond to Public Records Requests with clear, open, and honest communication and shall utilize applicable law to protect the privacy of any information that is exempt from disclosure. ADOC will comply with Public Records Requests either by providing printed or eletronic copies of available Public Records or by making Public Records available for personal inspection.

Submitting a Public Records Request

All requests for inspection and/or copy of public records must be made in writing and submitted on a Public Records Request Form and may be emailed to public.records@doc.alabama.gov; mailed to ADOC, Attn: Research & Planning Division, P.O. Box 301501, Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1501; or hand delivered to, ADOC Central Office, Attn: Research & Planning Division, 301 S. Ripley Street, Montgomery, Alabama 36104. The Requestor should read and follow the Instructions for Requesting Inspection or Copy of Public Records, which is included with the Public Records Request Form, before submitting any request. All applicable fees and costs of document production apply. Public Records Requests by telephone or fax will not be accepted. If you have any questions regarding requests for public records, you may contact ADOC at to public.records@doc.alabama.gov.

What To Expect

We strive to respond as promptly as possible to all public record requests we receive consistent with the demands of our ADOC's functions as determined by state law.

The nature of your request will dictate how promptly we respond. If your request very clearly identifies a specific, discrete document you are looking for, we will respond more quickly than if your request requires substantial staff time to process. A request will require substantial staff time to process if it requires difficulty in identifying and retrieving documents or taking measures to redact or otherwise withhold legally protected information.

In addition, we are permitted by state law to charge reasonable fees in connection with processing public record requests. We will notify you in advance of the fees you likely will incur as a result of your request.

You may contact ADOC's Public Records Coordinator at public.records@doc.alabama.gov.

Policy on Inmates Using Social Networking

ADOC Inmates are not allowed to have social networking sites while incarcerated in the ADOC. These sites are a security violation and will be shut down. If you suspect or know of an inmate who is in violation of this policy, please report the suspicious activity or website to LESD by sending us an email or by submitting the Investigation Request form. LESD will notify the appropriate social networking site(s) and request that the inmate's page(s) be deleted.
