GeneralNo. They are two separate ADOC institutions on the same road in Elmore, AL. Staton is at 2690 Marion Spillway Road, and Elmore Correctional Facility is at 3520 Marion Spillway Rd., a different address on the same road. Always confirm which facility someone is held at and use the exact address for that specific facility, since mixing them up can send mail or a visit to the wrong place.
GeneralADOC's own facility page states that Staton provides emergency medical care and runs a medical observation unit that serves both Elmore Correctional Facility and Frank Lee, a separate ADOC community-based work-release facility. This means Staton functions as a shared medical hub for its neighboring institutions, not only a standalone prison.
