ADOC publishes a statewide Public Male Inmate Handbook, revised March 2026, which applies to Fountain as an all-male facility. No handbook or visitor-application form specific to Fountain alone was found. Families should call (251) 368-8122 to ask about the current visitor approval process.

No. They are two separate ADOC institutions, both located near Atmore, AL. Fountain is at 9677 Hwy 21 N, Atmore, AL 36503. Holman is a different, nearby facility that isn't covered in this guide yet. Always confirm which specific facility someone is held at before you mail anything, send money, or plan a visit, since mixing up the two Atmore facilities can send mail or a visit to the wrong place.

ADOC's official facility directory lists Fountain as Maximum security. The facility's own descriptive page separately calls it a medium custody correctional facility. Both statements come from ADOC itself, and this guide doesn't resolve which one applies day to day. Call (251) 368-8122 if you need to know the current classification for a specific purpose.

No. ADOC's facility directory table lists a separate internal reference, "Fountain 3800, Atmore, AL 36503-3800," which appears to be an old mail-routing code used before Alabama's November 2025 switch to digital-only personal mail. Since all personal mail now goes to the statewide San Antonio, TX processing center regardless of facility, don't use "Fountain 3800" as a mailing address. Use 9677 Hwy 21 N, Atmore, AL 36503 for anything that still goes to the facility directly, like packages and legal mail.
