Limestone Correctional Releases
Limestone Correctional Facility is an Alabama Department of Corrections state prison in Harvest. ADOC identifies it as a close-custody correctional facility. A person leaving this facility is leaving state prison custody or changing state custody status, even though the prison is located in Limestone County. The Limestone County Jail portal is not the release-search route for a state-prison discharge from this facility.
The release path is ADOC-first. Use ADOC inmate search and ADOC records for custody and sentence fields, ABPP for parole or state supervision, Alabama VNS for state-prison notification, and court records for the sentencing history. If the person is required to register as a sex offender, ALEA's registry may show a public registration record after release. If the person also had a local Limestone County case or jail booking, that is a separate county record.
Limestone Correctional Facility is also distinct from the North Alabama Community Based Facility and Community Work Center. Both are ADOC facilities, but Limestone Correctional Facility is the close-custody prison in Harvest, while North Alabama CBF/CWC is a minimum-custody work-center path in Decatur with work release in Morgan, Limestone, and Madison Counties.
Limestone ADOC Release Search
The correct online route starts with the ADOC inmate search. ADOC says the AIS number is a unique six-digit number and the quickest way to find a particular inmate. If the AIS number is entered, ADOC ignores the name fields. If no AIS is known, search by first name, last name, or both. ADOC name fields are open-ended, so partial names can return multiple possible matches.
- Search ADOC by AIS number when available, because it takes priority over the name fields.
- If no AIS is known, search by first and last name and compare identifiers before relying on a match.
- Read the facility and custody fields to confirm whether the person is tied to Limestone Correctional Facility.
- Use ADOC definitions to interpret Minimum Release Date, Parole Consideration Date, Parole Status, Jail Credit, Good Time Received, and Good Time Revoked.
- Check ABPP if parole, mandatory release supervision, revocation, or delinquent status is involved.
- Use court records for the sentence and any clerk-prepared jail-credit issue.
ADOC also says its public search is for currently incarcerated inmates and that historical data is not available online at that time. That limit is important for a released state prisoner. If a person has fully discharged and no longer appears in the current search, the next sources are ADOC records, Alabama VNS notices, ABPP supervision records, court records, and registry records where applicable.
Older Limestone Correctional Facility releases can therefore require a records trail rather than a single search result. Start with any known AIS number, sentencing county, date of birth, and approximate release window. If the ADOC search no longer returns the person, use the sentencing court to confirm the judgment and sentence, then ask ADOC about the institutional release or discharge record. If parole or mandatory release supervision followed, ABPP is the better source for the supervision status after the prison gate.
Limestone Facility Records Contact
ADOC facility contact information places Limestone Correctional Facility at the Harvest address below. Facility staff can be a starting point for location and facility-level questions, but a complete release or discharge packet may require ADOC records channels rather than a county records request. The county sheriff does not certify a state-prison release from this facility unless there is a separate county jail record.
Limestone Correctional Facility
28779 Nick Davis Road
Harvest, AL 35749
Operating agency: Alabama Department of Corrections
Phone: (256) 233-4600
Facility type: ADOC close-custody correctional facility
The ADOC facility page for Limestone Correctional Facility and the ADOC facility address list are the source paths for the contact details. For release-date interpretation, the ADOC definitions page is just as important as the search page because it explains which dates are projected, which are parole-related, and which can change.
Limestone Prison Release Fields
State-prison release records use a different vocabulary from jail booking records. The county jail portal's release date column is not built to explain a state prison sentence. ADOC records and definitions identify sentence and release fields that should be read together, not in isolation.
| ADOC field or term | How it affects release review |
|---|---|
| AIS number | The six-digit identifier ADOC says is the fastest way to locate a specific inmate. |
| Minimum Release Date | The earliest scheduled date for release to probation or end of sentence; it can change. |
| Parole Consideration Date | A tentative Parole Board date, not a promise of release. |
| Parole Status | Shows whether parole is active, delinquent, revoked, or otherwise reflected in ADOC data. |
| Jail Credit | County jail time prepared by the circuit clerk, which can affect sentence calculation. |
| Good Time Received or Revoked | Sentence-credit fields that help explain changes to the minimum release date. |
Limestone Release Supervision
A person released from Limestone Correctional Facility may still be under ABPP supervision. Parole means release from prison before the sentence is fully served, subject to Parole Board conditions. Probation is court-ordered supervision that can occur instead of, or after, confinement. Mandatory release supervision is also a state-prison concept for eligible cases. These statuses are not county jail roster statuses.
The ABPP Athens Field Office serves Limestone County. Its documented address is 630 South Jefferson Street, Athens, AL 35611, with main phone 256.614.0123, fax 256.614.0124, and Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-4:30 PM hours. If a released Limestone Correctional Facility inmate is on parole or state probation in Limestone County, that local ABPP office may be more useful than the jail. The Parole / Probation page covers the local supervision route in more depth.
ABPP's scheduled parole hearings and parole results pages can show hearing activity and outcomes. A grant still needs actual release and supervision confirmation through ADOC and ABPP. A denial or reset is not a release. ABPP explains that a reset date is the first month and year for possible future docket placement, not a new hearing date.
The Limestone County Circuit Clerk is relevant only when Limestone County is the sentencing county or when the person has a separate Limestone County case. ADOC defines jail credit as county jail time prepared by the applicable circuit clerk. If the sentence came from another Alabama county, that county's clerk is the local source for judgment, jail credit, and sentence amendments. The prison location alone does not make Limestone County the sentencing court.
Limestone Facility Details
ADOC says Limestone Correctional Facility opened in October 1984, sits on 1,600 acres in Harvest, and is about ten miles east of Athens and ten miles west of Huntsville. ADOC also lists a 90-day reentry program for inmates returning to the community and Ingram State Technical College programs. Those details matter for release research because reentry and education references point to transition planning within ADOC, not county jail release processing.
Because the facility is an ADOC prison, the county-jail recent-release pages do not serve as its discharge list. Use ADOC for custody and release-date fields, ABPP for parole and supervision, Alabama VNS for state-prison notifications, and the sentencing court for the case judgment. The home page's Limestone County released inmates search overview separates these county, state, federal, and ICE paths.
Limestone Facility Notification Sources
Alabama VNS is relevant because it states that the state system is for offenders convicted in Alabama and sentenced to ADOC custody. That makes it a closer fit for Limestone Correctional Facility than for a pretrial county jail case. VINELink's Alabama page can also be checked for custody notification where source-system coverage supports it.
Registry records are narrower. ALEA's sex offender registry information applies only when a released person is required to register and the record is available for public dissemination under state law. It is not a general state-prison release list. For most Limestone Correctional Facility releases, ADOC, ABPP, VNS, and court records will be the core sources.
Federal and ICE searches usually are not the first route for a Limestone Correctional Facility release because the facility is a state prison. They become relevant only if the person had a separate federal sentence, a federal detainer, or an immigration hold after state custody. In that case, BOP, ICE, U.S. Marshals context, and federal court records should be checked after the ADOC release status is understood.
