Hamilton Aged and Infirmed Overview
Hamilton Aged and Infirmed is operated by the Alabama Department of Corrections. ADOC lists the facility at 223 Sasser Drive, Hamilton, AL 35570, with phone number 205-921-7453. The facility is in Marion County, in ADOC's Northern Region, and is designated for male inmates at medium custody. It is a state prison, so people housed there are not listed through the Marion County jail roster unless they were previously in county custody before transfer to state prison.
The ADOC Hamilton Aged and Infirmed facility page says the prison opened in May 1981 for aged and infirmed inmates. ADOC describes the site as located on 5 acres in Hamilton and says it provides security, counseling, and necessary medical services required by inmates. That description makes the facility different from a general county jail booking site. Its function is tied to sentenced ADOC custody and medical-support needs within the state prison system.
The ADOC facility address list and live facility page reported an inmate population or bed occupancy of 268 at research time. The ADOC FY2025 Annual Legislative Statistical Report listed Hamilton A&I with a year-end medium-security facility population of 257. Those two numbers come from different reporting bases, so they should not be treated as a contradiction or as a fixed daily capacity. One is a live facility page snapshot, and one is a fiscal-year-end annual report figure.
The ADOC source page for Hamilton Aged and Infirmed can be reviewed at the official facility profile.
The image shows why the ADOC facility page is the controlling source for address, custody level, gender, region, population, and the instruction to contact the facility for visitation information.
Hamilton Aged and Infirmed Capacity and Population
For Hamilton Aged and Infirmed, the strongest sourced population details come from ADOC. The live ADOC facility page and facility address list showed 268 for inmate population or bed occupancy during the May 2026 research. ADOC's FY2025 annual report listed 257 as the year-end population for Hamilton A&I. A PREA report capacity range was noted in the research file, but the build context specifically resolved the live population and annual report numbers for use here.
These figures apply to the ADOC prison, not to Marion County Jail. Marion County Jail's official rated capacity was not located, and the county roster count should not be used to estimate Hamilton Aged and Infirmed. ADOC statewide locator totals are also a separate measure. At research time, the statewide locator reported a much larger statewide count, while the annual report used a fiscal-year-end population basis.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Hamilton Aged and Infirmed
Use the ADOC inmate search for Hamilton Aged and Infirmed. The Marion County Sheriff's Office roster is for recent local jail custody and should not be used as the main search tool for this state prison. ADOC's locator searches current ADOC inmates by AIS number, first name, and last name. An AIS number is the six-digit Alabama Institutional Serial number and is the fastest way to find an exact state-prison record when it is available.
The ADOC search has limits that matter for Marion County families. It contains only currently incarcerated ADOC inmates, does not provide historical data online, excludes Youthful Offender Act inmates, and displays a maximum of 50 matching records at one time. If an exact AIS number is entered, the first and last name fields are ignored. Name searches can be open-ended, and the beginning of a last name can return matches.
- Open the official ADOC locator at doc.alabama.gov/InmateSearch.aspx.
- Enter the AIS number if known, or search by first name, last name, or both.
- Review the results carefully if the name is common, because only the first 50 matching records display.
- Confirm that the facility listed is Hamilton Aged and Infirmed or Hamilton / Aged and Infirmed.
- If the person is not in ADOC custody, check the Marion County jail roster, VINELink Alabama, BOP, or ICE depending on the custody path.

Visiting Someone at Hamilton Aged and Infirmed
The ADOC facility page says to contact Hamilton Aged and Infirmed for visitation hours and information. No fixed online schedule was posted in the official material reviewed. Because this is a medium-custody state prison, visitation should be approached as an ADOC facility process, not as a county jail video-visit process. Visitors may need to satisfy state approval, scheduling, identification, dress, and security rules before a visit can occur.
Call 205-921-7453 before traveling to confirm whether the inmate is eligible for visits, whether a visitor is approved, what arrival time is required, and whether any medical, custody, or facility-status issue changes access. ADOC facility pages also link state services for money, incentive packages, eMessage, inmate phone system, and footwear packages, but those service links are separate from permission to enter the facility for a visit.

Reception and Custody at Hamilton Aged and Infirmed
Hamilton Aged and Infirmed is not a street-arrest booking facility. A person normally reaches ADOC custody after sentencing, commitment, classification, or transfer within the state prison system. Once in ADOC custody, the person is searched through the ADOC locator rather than through the Marion County Sheriff's roster. If a person recently disappeared from the county roster after court action, an ADOC search by AIS or name may be the next step once the state record is available.
ADOC's description of Hamilton Aged and Infirmed focuses on security, counseling, and necessary medical services for aged and infirmed inmates. That program focus affects how the facility should be understood. The custody environment is state prison custody, but the mission is tied to older or medically vulnerable incarcerated people who require health-related institutional support. Specific medical information about a person in custody will not appear in a public locator and should not be expected in online search results.
About Hamilton Aged and Infirmed
Hamilton Aged and Infirmed is one of two ADOC facilities physically located in Hamilton. The other is Hamilton Community Based Facility and Community Work Center, which is a minimum and community-work facility. The difference is important for search accuracy. Hamilton Aged and Infirmed is medium custody and medical-service oriented. The Community Based Facility and Work Center is tied to work center and community job assignments. Both use ADOC lookup, but they serve different custody populations.
ADOC reentry and program material describes statewide rehabilitation and reentry programming, including addiction recovery, education, work skills, personal growth, Alabama Correctional Industries, J.F. Ingram State Technical College programs, Department of Labor partnerships, community corrections, pastoral programs, and pre-release planning. At Hamilton Aged and Infirmed, the facility-specific description centers on medical services and counseling. Broader statewide program availability should be confirmed with ADOC or the facility because not every program is available at every prison or for every custody status.
ADOC's PREA page states a zero-tolerance standard for sexual abuse and harassment and lists Hamilton Aged and Infirmed in PREA auditor report sets. The research also noted the statewide DOJ lawsuit about Alabama men's prisons as ADOC-wide conditions context. That lawsuit should not be described as a Marion County Jail finding and should not be used to imply a facility-specific conclusion beyond the statewide context documented in the source material.
Note: Confirm custody, visitor approval, and current visitation hours with Hamilton Aged and Infirmed before traveling.
