No. These are two separate ADOC facilities that happen to be located in the same town, Hamilton, AL, at different addresses. Hamilton Aged and Infirmed Center is at 223 Sasser Drive and provides medium-security housing, counseling, and medical care for aged and infirmed inmates. The Hamilton Work Release Center is a community-based work-release facility and isn't covered in this guide. Always confirm the exact facility name and address before mailing anything, sending money, or planning a visit, since mixing up the two Hamilton facilities can send your mail or trip to the wrong place.

HAIC is a specialized medium-security ADOC facility built specifically to house aged and infirmed inmates. Its stated mission is to provide the security, counseling, and medical services this population needs. This is different from a general-population prison, where a broader range of ages and health needs are housed together.

HAIC has a bed occupancy of 274, according to ADOC's facility directory. It sits on about 5 acres, one of the smallest physical footprints of any ADOC facility, which fits its role as a smaller, specialized medical and geriatric-care unit instead of a large general-population prison.

HAIC opened in May 1981, specifically to house aged and infirmed inmates who need ongoing medical care and support that a general-population prison isn't designed to provide.

No vocational or educational programs were listed on ADOC's official page for HAIC, unlike most other ADOC facilities, which list partnerships with Ingram State Technical College or local community colleges. This likely reflects HAIC's specialized medical and aged-care population instead of a general-population workforce. Families who want to know about any programming currently offered should contact the facility directly at (205) 921-7453.

HAIC is ADOC's designated facility for aged and infirmed inmates, so people can be transferred there from other ADOC prisons as their age or medical needs change. If someone you're looking for isn't showing up at their previous facility, check the ADOC inmate locator, since a transfer to HAIC is one possible reason for a change in location.
