Former Facility Record Path
The former Perry County Correctional Facility site is a research caution, not a standard current jail-release page. The Facility Map notes that older web results may refer to a private prison or other custody at the Uniontown site, while current official ABPP materials identify the PREP Center location. That means the first task is to sort old custody authority from current reentry use.
If the record is current and tied to the PREP Center, use ABPP supervision channels. If the record is an Alabama state-prison matter, use ADOC while the person is current and ADOC records, VNS, ABPP, or court records after release. If the record is federal or immigration related, use BOP, USMS, ICE, and federal court sources. Perry County Jail records apply only when the person was booked or held on a local county matter.
A former-facility reference should be read by custody authority, not by place name alone. The same Uniontown location can appear in older private-prison discussion, current reentry reporting, and supervision materials. A release record from one period may not belong to the agency that uses the site now. The date of the source, the operator named in the source, and the legal authority over the person are the facts that decide where the release record should be requested.
| Reference found | Do not assume | Verify with |
|---|---|---|
| PREP Center | County jail roster | ABPP, court, ADOC/VNS if prison release |
| Private prison history | Current custody | Date of source and operating agency |
| Federal or USMS mention | ADOC release | BOP locator, USMS, federal court |
| Immigration custody | Community release | ICE ODLS, counsel, federal records |
Verify Old Uniontown Results
Research Section 19 specifically warns against mixing old private-prison or federal references with the current PREP supervision facts. The safest workflow is source-first. Check the date, the page owner, the custody authority, and the person's legal status before choosing a release-confirmation system.
- Identify the source date and whether it describes current ABPP PREP operations or an older correctional facility use.
- For current PREP references, contact ABPP and check court or supervision records.
- For Alabama state prison references, use ADOC inmate search while current and ADOC records after release.
- For federal references, use the BOP Inmate Locator and federal court records.
- For immigration references, use ICE ODLS for current detention scope and the appropriate case records.
The Uniontown PREP Center page is the current ABPP route. The federal BOP page and ICE detention page separate federal and immigration release meanings.
Do not use an old facility name as the only proof that someone was released from a current Perry County jail. If the source does not name the present operator or current custody system, treat it as a lead. Confirm the agency first, then ask that agency for the release date, transfer notation, supervision status, or court event that applies to the person.
Former Site Contact Route
No current county jail contact card should be assigned to the former facility as if it were an active local jail. Use the agency that matches the record. For current PREP material, the ABPP PREP Center is the contact point. For older federal or private-facility results, confirm the operator, contract, and custody authority before seeking records.

For state prison records, ADOC is the custodian. For a federal sentence, BOP and federal court records control. For temporary federal detention before sentencing, USMS context may matter. For immigration detention, ICE controls the locator route. Perry County court records can still matter if the local case created the transfer or if a Perry County order explains why local custody ended.
Older articles can still be useful if they identify the operator or program shift, but they should not be treated as live custody data. A news story about a facility conversion may explain why a search result exists. It does not confirm that a named person is in custody or released. For a named-person release check, the record source must be the agency with legal custody or supervision authority over that person.
When a record trail is unclear, build it in order: local jail or court event, state prison or supervision event, federal custody event, and immigration custody event if one exists. Each step may have its own release date. The former facility name is only a location clue until the responsible agency is identified.
Former Prison Context
The GEO Reentry article documents the conversion of a former prison setting into a residential reentry program. See GEO Reentry's PREP Center article for that current-context description.
The screenshot is used for the facility-history angle only. It does not make the former facility a current Perry County jail release source.
The better use of this history is to prevent wrong-source searches. If the source points to reentry, use ABPP. If it points to state incarceration, use ADOC. If it points to federal detention or a private contract, identify the federal authority before relying on a county page.
Former Facility Record Boundaries
A former facility page should not promise a single custodian. The record holder changes with the custody authority. If the person was in a state sentence, ADOC and the sentencing court are the route. If the person was in federal custody, BOP, USMS, and federal court records matter. If the person was under supervision or reentry placement, ABPP is the route. If the person was only mentioned in a historical article, that article is context, not a release record.
For Perry County release research, this page's job is to keep old Uniontown results from sending the search to the wrong agency. Ask what year the source describes, what agency operated the site then, and whether the named person was in custody, on supervision, or merely connected to a program. Those answers decide whether to request a jail release record, an ADOC discharge record, a BOP locator result, an ICE custody check, or an ABPP supervision record.
Search Former Facility Records
Use public-record search to identify the agency and date behind an old Uniontown result, then verify through ABPP, ADOC, BOP, ICE, USMS, or court records. Avoid treating a historical facility name as a current release feed.
