Bullock Correctional Overview
Bullock Correctional Facility is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections. ADOC lists it as a medium custody male correctional facility in Bullock County, Southern Region. It opened in April 1987, sits on 110 acres about 1.5 miles east of Union Springs on U.S. Highway 82, and is built around state-prison custody rather than local pretrial detention.
ADOC describes Bullock as a facility with major mental health and treatment functions. Services and programs include mental health care, intermediate and intensive mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, adult basic education, daily religious programs, medical and dental care, free-world specialty services, and Ingram State Technical College Adult Education and GED services. A Bullock County arrest record can lead to state prison after conviction and sentencing, but the prison itself holds sentenced ADOC inmates from across Alabama.
The official ADOC facility page is the correct subject match for this screenshot. It shows Bullock Correctional Facility as a state prison record, not a Bullock County Jail roster.
Open the ADOC Bullock Correctional Facility page to compare current facility details with the screenshot below.
The facility page helps confirm the operator, custody level, address, phone, population, and program context before using the statewide inmate locator.
Bullock Correctional Population
The strongest population sources are ADOC's live facility materials and the 2025 PREA audit. The research file notes that ADOC's facility page and facilities list showed population or bed occupancy around 1,451 when inspected in May 2026. The PREA final audit submitted April 19, 2025 listed designed capacity at 1,582, current population at 1,522, and average daily population at 1,495.
ADOC counts can change. Use the live ADOC page, facilities list, and statistical reports for the most current prison count. Do not add Bullock Correctional Facility's state-prison count to Bullock County Jail population when discussing local jail custody.
Use ADOC Inmate Search
The correct lookup tool is the ADOC inmate search. It covers currently incarcerated Alabama Department of Corrections inmates. It does not provide historical data online, it excludes Youthful Offender Act sentences from the public totals/search, and it is limited to a maximum of 50 displayed results.
ADOC records use terms that differ from jail booking language. AIS is the Alabama Institutional Serial number, commit county is the county of sentence, and custody describes the ADOC security classification. A Bullock Correctional Facility listing may show the prison location while the underlying criminal case remains with the sentencing court.
- Open the ADOC inmate search, not the Bullock County Jail or sheriff route.
- Search by AIS number if known; ADOC says AIS is the fastest method and overrides name fields.
- If AIS is unknown, search by first name, last name, or both, using careful spelling and partial last-name starts when needed.
- Confirm the profile lists Bullock Correctional Facility as the current facility before relying on it for visits or mail.
- For court case details, use the commit county's circuit clerk or Alacourt because the ADOC locator is a prison record, not the full court file.

The search fields are statewide. A result must be checked for facility, AIS, custody information, and current status.
Bullock Correctional Contact
Use the facility phone for visitation hours, approval questions, local facility directions, and facility-specific rules. Use ADOC central public records procedures for formal records when required. The PREA audit lists the physical address as 104 Bullock Drive, while ADOC's facility materials use Highway 82 East and the mailing address below.

Bullock Correctional Visits
ADOC says to contact Bullock Correctional Facility for visitation hours and information. State prison visits are not county jail visits. ADOC Administrative Regulation 303 and the male inmate handbook add statewide requirements, including approved visitor lists, minor-child approval, searches, background checks, and special-visit rules.
| ADOC Visit Item | Rule / Status |
|---|---|
| Facility schedule | Contact Bullock Correctional Facility at 334-738-5625 |
| Approved adults | Up to 8 adults on the active visitor list |
| Minor children | Up to 4 minor children on active list with advance approval |
| Single visit limit | Up to 4 adults and 4 minor children |
| Searches | Visitors are subject to search and background checks |
Bullock Correctional Mail
ADOC mail rules changed statewide. The research file notes that routine personal inmate mail went digital as of October 27, 2025. Routine personal mail uses the ADOC mail-processing address from the family notice, while packages and legal mail still use facility-specific rules. Incoming and outgoing mail may be inspected for contraband or abuse of mail privileges, and legal mail has separate privileged handling.
Money and communications also follow ADOC systems. ADOC lists Access Corrections and Access Secure Deposits channels for money. ADOC's communication notice says ICSolutions began providing inmate communication services on August 1, 2025. Packages and footwear are handled through Union Supply channels and current ordering windows should be checked live.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Routine personal mail | ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing, Inmate Name - AIS Number, P.O. Box 17339, San Antonio, TX 78217 |
| Money deposit | Access Corrections / Access Secure Deposits, phone, walk-in, or money order |
| Phone / video / messaging | ICSolutions under ADOC communication notice |
| Packages | Union Supply incentive packages when ordering windows are open |
Bullock Correctional Intake
State prison intake is not street-arrest booking. A person normally enters ADOC after conviction and sentence, then receives an ADOC record with AIS number, admit date, commit county, case number, custody classification, and facility assignment. Classification means the security and housing assessment used to place an inmate in a suitable prison setting. Bullock is listed as medium custody.
If the ADOC locator does not answer a records question, use ADOC's public records channels rather than the Bullock County sheriff. ADOC publishes public-records contacts and request forms, and the research file notes a processing-fee requirement in ADOC records materials. Victim notification is a separate channel through Alabama victim-notification resources and ADOC forms.
The 2025 PREA audit gives facility layout detail: intake dorm G1, general population dorms, J1-J2 substance abuse program dorms, K1-K7 outpatient mental health dorms, H dorms for inpatient mental health, health care unit, visitation building, chapel, law library, trade school or industry shop, dining hall, canteen, maintenance, and laundry. The audit reported 45 PREA standards met, 0 exceeded, and 0 not met.
About Bullock Correctional
Recent official ADOC materials provide more detail for Bullock Correctional Facility than for the local county jail. The 2025 PREA audit is the strongest conditions source. ADOC also reported statewide digital mail changes in 2025 and communication-provider changes in 2025. Official ADOC news releases in 2025 and 2026 reported contraband-related arrests connected to Bullock Correctional Facility; those releases should be read as specific incidents, not as a substitute for the facility's full operating record.
Note: Confirm the inmate's current ADOC facility before scheduling a visit or sending mail, funds, packages, or legal correspondence.
