The HWR 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 1826 Bexar Ave E Hamilton, AL, and other criminal justice agencies, the division oversees thousands of offenders in the community.

The Hamilton Community Based Facility and Community Work Center, with its origins dating back to 1967 as a Road Camp, evolved over the years to become a work center for the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) in 1976. Situated as a minimum custody state prison facility for adult male inmates, this center plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation and reintegration process for its residents.

The facility houses two distinct categories of inmates: Work Center offenders and Community Based Facility inmates. Work Center offenders are assigned to city, county, and state agencies, engaging in various community service projects. On the other hand, Community-Based Facility inmates are assigned to civilian jobs within the surrounding communities, providing them with valuable work experience and skills.

One significant program offered at the Hamilton facility is the Work Release Program, administered by the Alabama Department of Corrections. This initiative allows selected inmates to secure gainful employment within the community while being supervised in a community-based facility during non-working hours. Designed to assist inmates in their transition from institutionalization to community living, the program plays a crucial role in preparing them for eventual release.

Participation in the Work Release Program entails financial responsibilities for the inmates. A portion of their gross salary is deducted to cover the costs associated with their participation, including contributions towards maintaining the program, transportation fees, medical co-pays, drug testing fees, laundry services, and taxes. The remainder of their wages is deposited into their PMOD account, with the possibility of sending money home depending on their account balance.

Upon arrival at the 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 lead to reconsideration by the Alabama Department of Corrections, potentially resulting in the inmate being returned to a more restrictive facility or denied the opportunity to work in the community.

In conclusion, the Hamilton Community Based Facility and Community Work Center serves as a crucial component of the Alabama Department of Corrections' efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate adult male inmates into society. Through programs like the Work Release Program and community-based assignments, the facility aims to equip inmates with the necessary skills and support to lead productive lives upon their release.
