Aliceville FCI is a federal correctional institution located in Aliceville, Pickens County, Alabama. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and primarily houses sentenced female federal inmates in low-security custody, with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp.

Its role is to provide secure custody, supervision, and reentry programming for federal inmates assigned to the institution.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Aliceville FCI
To find an inmate here, use the official Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator link available on this page. Federal inmate records usually list the person’s name, register number, age, sex, race, current location, and release date. County jail rosters often list name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but federal listings may not show all of those details. After a person is booked or transferred, processing can take several hours or longer, so records may not appear immediately. If the person does not show up, check spelling, try the register number if known, and search again later.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Aliceville FCI?
Visitors usually must be approved by the facility before a visit is allowed. Contact the facility or check the official visitation rules for current visiting hours, approval forms, and scheduling requirements.
What do I need to bring when visiting Aliceville FCI?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Follow the dress code and do not bring prohibited items, as entry can be denied for rule violations.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls, but they may place approved outgoing calls through the facility phone system. Video or electronic communication options depend on the systems available here and the inmate’s account status.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full committed name and register number on all mail. Follow the facility’s mail rules, because items such as cash, certain photos, packages, or altered materials may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as hygiene products, snacks, and writing supplies. Family and friends may be able to add funds through the approved federal deposit system, subject to limits and rules.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Aliceville FCI?
This facility primarily houses sentenced federal inmates, so bail usually does not apply. If a person is in federal pretrial custody, bond decisions are made by the federal court, and posting instructions come from the court or U.S. Marshals Service rather than the facility.
What happens during the intake process at Aliceville FCI and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review records, assign housing, screen for medical and security needs, and provide facility rules. Records may take several hours or longer to become searchable after booking or transfer, so the inmate may not appear in the system immediately.
