Check Red Eagle Releases

Red Eagle Release Paths

ADOC's Red Eagle page says Red Eagle opened in 1972 and is located on 364 acres about three miles north of Montgomery. Its mission is to provide surroundings, programs, and staff to assist male inmates to reintegrate into society. That mission can make a release seem local and community-based, but the custody authority remains ADOC.

A person can leave Red Eagle for another ADOC placement, parole, mandatory release to ABPP supervision, or final discharge. The correct lookup is not the Montgomery County sheriff portal unless the person also had a county jail booking. Use ADOC current search, Alabama VNS, ABPP, and ADOC records.

The ADOC facility page is the matched source for Red Eagle's facility status.

The screenshot ties Red Eagle to ADOC, which is why the release path follows state records.

Confirm Red Eagle Release

Search ADOC inmate search first if current custody is possible. ADOC states that historical data is not available online, so a person who completed custody may not appear. Use Alabama VNS for release-date terms and use ABPP when supervision is involved.

1. Confirm the person was in ADOC custody at Red Eagle.
2. Search by AIS number or name in ADOC current-inmate search.
3. Check VNS fields for actual Release Date or projected Mandatory Release to Supervision.
4. Contact ABPP for parole or mandatory-supervision status.
5. Request an ADOC record when online results do not answer the release question.

Red Eagle Records Contact

Records requests should identify the person by AIS number, full name, approximate dates, and facility name. Ask for public release or discharge fields from ADOC rather than asking the county jail for a state-prison record.

Red Eagle Supervision Context

Because Red Eagle is a reintegration-oriented work center, a release may still include supervision. Mandatory release and parole are controlled by ABPP. A person may be out of a secure facility while still subject to release conditions. That status belongs in VNS and ABPP records, not the county jail roster.

Work Center Release Limits

A work-center placement can look like a near-release status, but it is not the same as final discharge. Red Eagle's mission focuses on reintegration, which makes ADOC, VNS, and ABPP records especially important. A person may leave the work center for another ADOC placement, supervised release, parole, or sentence completion. The public record should identify which event occurred.

Use ADOC current search for current custody and identifiers. Use VNS for Release Date, Minimum Release Date, and Mandatory Release to Supervision. Use ABPP for parole status, delinquency, revocation, or mandatory supervision. Use the court record when sentence terms or jail credit affect the release question.

Red Eagle Record Request

For an older Red Eagle release, an ADOC public-records request may be the cleanest route. Provide AIS number, full name, date of birth if known, Red Eagle as the facility, and the approximate date range. Ask for public release or discharge fields rather than a broad file. If ABPP supervision followed release, contact ABPP separately because supervision records are not the same as facility records.

If Montgomery County appears in the sentence or booking history, keep that local case detail in the request. It can connect the state work-center record to the court order or transfer that brought the person into ADOC custody. Also preserve any VNS date labels exactly, because Minimum Release Date, Release Date, and Mandatory Release to Supervision answer different questions. If a record only says transfer, verify the next ADOC location before treating the person as released.

Reconcile Red Eagle Records

Red Eagle's work-center role creates a release question that should be answered in stages. First decide whether the person left only Red Eagle or left ADOC custody. A transfer within ADOC can end a Red Eagle placement without creating a public community release. A mandatory release or parole can put the person under ABPP supervision. A final discharge is a different event and may require records confirmation when the public ADOC search no longer shows historical data.

VNS and ABPP help fill the gap. VNS provides release-date vocabulary and notification fields for ADOC-sentenced offenders. ABPP provides parole hearing, parole result, delinquency, revocation, and mandatory-supervision context. ADOC central office provides the records path for custody summaries and discharge records. Together, those systems are more accurate than checking the Montgomery County sheriff roster for a state work-center case.

If Red Eagle appears after a Montgomery County jail booking, verify both records. The county release may show a transfer to state custody, while the Red Eagle record may show a later state release or transfer. Ask for dates and identifiers from both systems so a jail transfer is not mistaken for the final state release. Keep AIS and court case numbers together when comparing sources.
