PREP Center Release Path
The ABPP PREP Center is a residential reentry and rehabilitation location in Uniontown. It is not the ordinary Perry County Jail search path. A person connected to the PREP Center may already have left prison or jail custody and moved into a supervised residential setting. The confirming agency is usually the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, with ADOC, Alabama VNS, and court records used for the custody history.
The official location page lists the PREP Center at 4805 U.S. Highway 80, Uniontown, Alabama. ABPP's opening announcement describes reentry and rehabilitation services for probationers and parolees. That makes the facility important for released-inmate research because the person can be physically in Perry County after release while the record source is statewide supervision, not the local sheriff's roster.
| Record question | Best route |
|---|---|
| Is the person at PREP? | ABPP PREP Center or ABPP supervision contacts |
| Was the person released from prison? | ADOC current search, VNS, ABPP, or ADOC records request |
| Is it parole or probation? | ABPP field office and court order |
| Was it a county jail release? | Perry County jail or receiving jail records, then court records |
Confirm PREP Center Status
Verification should follow the legal authority behind the placement. A probationer may be sent by court order. A parolee or mandatory-release participant may move through ABPP after ADOC custody. A sanction response can also route through supervision channels. The county jail is only relevant if the person was first booked or held on a Perry County case.
- Search or contact ABPP through the field office directory and PREP Center location page.
- If the person came from ADOC, check ADOC's inmate search for current custody, then use VNS, ABPP, or records requests after release.
- Use Alacourt ACCESS or the relevant clerk record to confirm probation, split sentence, sanction, or court-ordered placement.
- For a Perry County jail origin, ask the sheriff or receiving jail for the booking release reason and transfer notation.
For the statewide supervision overview, the Perry County parole / probation page tracks ABPP hearing, field office, and mandatory-release issues in more detail.
PREP Center Records Contact
The PREP Center contact is useful for placement and program routing. It is not a substitute for ADOC release records or a court order. Ask precise questions: whether a person is connected to the PREP Center, which ABPP office supervises the case, and what source can confirm the underlying release or supervision order.

Uniontown PREP Source
The ABPP opening announcement is a direct source for the Uniontown PREP Center's role in reentry and supervision. See the ABPP PREP Center opening announcement for the agency's description of the location.
The screenshot supports the page's central point: the PREP Center belongs to the parole and probation pathway, so release confirmation should follow ABPP, ADOC, VNS, and court channels.
Uniontown Facility History
Research Section 19 warns that the Uniontown site has older web history as a private prison or correctional facility. Current official ABPP materials identify the location as the PREP Center. That difference matters because an old search result can make the site look like a jail or federal detention source when the current release question may be supervision and reentry.
If a record mentions the former Perry County Correctional Facility, verify the date and agency before treating it as a current custody source. For current PREP placement, use ABPP. For state prison custody, use ADOC. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP, USMS, ICE, or federal court sources.
The PREP Center also changes how "released" should be read. A person may have left a jail or prison and still be required to live in, report to, or complete a residential supervision program. That is not a live jail roster problem. It is a supervision status and program-placement problem. Use ABPP for the current supervision route, then use ADOC, VNS, or the sentencing court to explain how the person arrived there.
ABPP's Institutional Parole Services material is relevant because parole release can require a home plan and coordination with ADOC before physical release occurs. A PREP placement may therefore appear after a parole grant, mandatory release, probation sanction, or court order. The key question is not just where the person is staying. It is which authority placed the person there and which office supervises the case.
If the person came from a Perry County case, the Circuit Clerk or Alacourt record can help identify the probation order, split sentence, or disposition. If the person came from ADOC, the state record may show the sentence and release-related fields while current. After release, ABPP and VNS are more useful for supervision and notification context than the current-only ADOC public search.
Search PREP Release Records
Use public-record search for broad leads, then confirm the actual authority through ABPP, ADOC, VNS, or court records. A PREP Center placement is a supervision clue, not proof of a Perry County jail release.
