Kilby Correctional Facility

Kilby Correctional Facility, located on 154 acres just outside Montgomery, Alabama, has been a key part of the state’s correctional system since it opened in December 1969. Designed to manage the intake and classification of male inmates for the broader Alabama prison system, Kilby plays a critical role in evaluating and distributing inmates to appropriate facilities. It excludes specific groups like death row inmates and youth offenders.

Kilby is more than just a receiving facility. It also functions as a hub for medical and educational services. Its on-site hospital provides comprehensive medical and mental health care, including dental and free-world specialty services. For inmates requiring additional support, the facility offers therapy programs for anger management, substance abuse counseling, sex offender treatment, and mental health care. Through Kilby’s chaplaincy and group therapy sessions, inmates receive individual and community-oriented guidance.

Kilby focuses on education, offering offerings that include GED preparation, adult education classes, and vocational programs through a partnership with the nearby Ingram State Technical College. These programs aim to equip inmates with the skills to reintegrate into society upon release. Additionally, a pre-release program helps inmates transition back into the community.

Kilby Correctional Facility accommodates up to 1,401 inmates and operates as a close-custody site, ensuring heightened security. Beyond its primary role, it houses a correctional industry plant specializing in printing and graphic arts and an institutional garden supplying fresh produce.
