FPC Montgomery, AL

Use the official BOP inmate locator at bop.gov/inmateloc/. Search by the person's BOP Register Number for an exact match, or by first and last name. This is a federal facility, so Alabama's state ADOC inmate search tool doesn't apply here.

FPC Montgomery sits on the grounds of Maxwell Air Force Base, in northwest Montgomery, Alabama. The camp operates as a guest tenant of the Air Force base, which means visitors, mail, and staff all interact with the surrounding military installation in ways that differ from a standalone civilian prison.

Address mail to the inmate's committed name, register number, dorm, and wing, followed by Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery, Alabama 36112. The facility's own Admissions & Orientation Handbook specifically instructs that "FEDERAL PRISON CAMP" be spelled out in full on the return address, not abbreviated.

This research could not confirm a general facility phone number from the Admissions & Orientation Handbook or other sources reviewed. Check bop.gov/locations/institutions/mon/ for current contact information.

Visiting is confirmed for Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., based on the facility's own Admissions & Orientation Handbook. There's no weekday visiting listed in that schedule.

Mail a money order or check to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Lockbox system in Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001. This is the standard BOP national deposit address, separate from the camp's own mailing address used for letters.

Yes. FPC Montgomery's Admissions & Orientation Handbook, revised April 2022, is available at bop.gov/locations/institutions/mon/mon_ao-handbook.pdf. Unlike some other Alabama federal facilities researched for this project, this handbook's text was readable, and most of the facts on this guide come directly from it.

No specific, named visitor application form number was found in this research. As at other BOP facilities, expect the standard process: the incarcerated person submits potential visitors to his Unit Team, which runs a background check before approving them.

FPC Montgomery is a federal minimum-security prison camp for men.

The camp organizes inmates into three housing units, named Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery. Unit team members hold Open House hours Monday through Friday, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and again from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., and are normally available until 7:00 p.m. on weekdays.

Because the camp sits on Maxwell Air Force Base, part of its purpose is providing labor support to the base and its nearby Gunter Annex. Inmates work in roles including a UNICOR laundry plant, driver positions, grounds and landscaping details on the base, and support roles for organizations at Maxwell AFB, including its hospital and medical treatment facility.

General facility data from April 2024 puts the population at approximately 662 people. This figure is approximate and wasn't independently reconfirmed as current during this research.
