Always confirm the exact facility name before mailing anything, sending money, or planning a visit.

Yes. According to ADOC, Holman is the department's primary facility for housing death row inmates and is the only Alabama facility where executions are carried out. Additional death row inmates are also housed at William E. Donaldson Correctional Facility in Bessemer, AL. Beyond death row, Holman's general population houses inmates from minimum through close custody.

ADOC's facility directory lists Holman as a maximum-security facility. Holman's own descriptive page on doc.alabama.gov instead calls it a close custody correctional facility. Both come from official ADOC sources, and this guide presents both instead of guessing which term ADOC considers current.

ADOC's facility page lists Holman's current population at 356. This is the number ADOC publishes as of this guide's verification, not a stated bed capacity or historical figure.
