The BWR is overseen by the Alabama Department of Corrections and consists of six community-based programs that supervise both pre-sentenced and sentenced offenders, prioritizing public safety and cost-effective alternatives to incarceration. Working in collaboration with the Department's Work Release Center, located at 1216 25th St N Birmingham, AL, and other criminal justice agencies, the division oversees thousands of offenders in the community.

The Birmingham Women’s Community Based Facility and Community Work Center, established in 1973, serves as a vital institution within the Alabama Department of Corrections, housing female inmates in a minimum custody state prison facility. Situated in Birmingham, AL, this center provides female inmates with job opportunities within the local community, offering them a chance to gain valuable work experience and skills under the supervision of correctional authorities.

In addition to job placements, the center offers comprehensive support services aimed at addressing the specific needs of female inmates. This includes drug treatment counseling, trauma stress management, and aftercare programs designed to aid in the recovery and rehabilitation process of inmates. By addressing underlying issues such as addiction and trauma, these programs aim to empower female inmates to make positive changes in their lives and successfully reintegrate into society upon their release.

The Birmingham Women’s Community Based Facility and Community Work Center also plays a crucial role in facilitating the transition of inmates back into the community through the Work Release Program. This program allows selected inmates to engage in gainful employment in the community while being supervised in a community-based facility during non-working hours. It is designed to assist inmates in preparing for their eventual release and to aid them in making a successful transition from a structured institutional environment back into society.

Participation in the Work Release Program involves various responsibilities and financial obligations for the inmates. A portion of their gross salary is deducted and paid to the Alabama Department of Corrections to help cover the cost of maintaining the program. Additionally, inmates may be required to pay fees for transportation to and from their work site, medical co-pays, drug testing, laundry services, as well as taxes and Social Security deductions.

Upon arrival at a work release facility, inmates are assigned job assignments within the facility itself. However, their participation in community employment is contingent upon approval and placement in a paying job. It's important to note that any public protests received regarding an inmate's participation in the Work Release Program may result in the inmate being returned to a more restrictive facility or being denied the opportunity to work in the community.

In conclusion, the Birmingham Women’s Community Based Facility and Community Work Center serves as a cornerstone in the rehabilitation and reintegration efforts for female inmates in Alabama. Through its various programs and initiatives, including job opportunities, counseling services, and the Work Release Program, the center aims to empower female inmates to lead productive and fulfilling lives upon their release.
