While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Occupying a 33,215-square-foot facility on approximately 7.5 acres of land, it has a maximum capacity of 128 inmates. As a booking facility, AMCC accommodates both male and female inmates, primarily those awaiting sentencing. Inmates serving longer sentences are transferred to larger institutions within the state.

The correctional institution, housing inmates from minimum to maximum custody levels, adopts a community-oriented approach, actively participating in community clean-up efforts and various community service projects. AMCC safeguards the public by securely housing male and female sentenced and unsentenced inmates across all custody levels—minimum, medium, close, and maximum—ensuring supervision consistent with their custody and security level.
