Located at 633 Old Landfill Rd in Taylorsville, NC, AlCI carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. AlCI offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

AlCI accommodates close-custody offenders in single cells, totaling 1,180 inmates, and minimum-custody offenders in a 252-bed minimum-security unit. Inmates housed here have been convicted of serious crimes or have displayed non-compliance with correctional rules, with some held in segregation cells. The facility consists of four units, each serving specific purposes based on inmates' security needs, program participation, and work assignments.

The Blue Unit caters to offenders with chronic health issues, new admissions, those transitioning from segregation, and those with unit-specific job assignments. The Green Unit houses inmates working at the Correction Enterprises furniture plant and those with institutional job and program assignments. In contrast, the Red Unit accommodates offenders in the residential mental health program, janitorial job assignments, and those in outpatient mental health status. The segregation unit holds offenders under restrictive housing statuses.

Inmate Locator

AlCI maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.

If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.

Visitation Information

Visits to NCDPS offenders are by appointment only. Call the prison where the offender is housed to schedule an appointment. Visitors should call the prison the day before a scheduled visit to confirm the facility's visitation status.
Also, video visitation now is available at most but not all prisons, so family and friends may be able to do a virtual visit if they prefer. Call the prison for additional information on video visitation at the facility.
Visitation by family and friends is encouraged and can make a positive difference during an offender's time in prison. Prison staff understand the importance of offenders maintaining contact with their family and friends. However, offenders can not be assigned to specific facilities within the prison system for the convenience of visitation.
For more information regarding prisons and visitation, please read the Handbook for Family and Friends of Offenders.
The increased safety and security measures are implemented to address, and ultimately eliminate, the introduction of contraband into state prisons. Any refusal to comply with all search procedures will result in the denial of entrance into the facility. Cell phones are considered contraband and are prohibited from all prison facilities. Appropriate attire is required.
