More Information
The City of Foley in Alabama operates and maintains the Foley Jail. This is a low security correctional facility that receives and dispatches a lot of inmates every year. It is one of the facilities that have been modernized so that it can perform a unique role compared to what other jails in this region do. For example, one can clearly see that most of the operations are digitized and therefore, it is easy to go through the paperwork stages when looking for information about the facility. In addition to that, it means that whether one has been sentenced to jail or they are being released from the facility, they will enjoy a faster process.
One of the things that make the Foley Jail different from the other correctional facilities in the State is the fact that it is used mainly as a temporal holding facility. Most of the inmates found here are those that are either awaiting the hearing of their cases or they are on their way to other facilities. After a short duration, they will transferred to relevant facilities depending on their offenses and the ending of their cases. Therefore, nobody stays at the jail for long, and that makes it one of the busiest facilities in the region.
The exception to the holding of inmates at the Foley Jail is the category that is serving a jail term of less than one year. For this group, they may spend their entire time at the facility. It is because one year is considered too short for a convict to be transferred to several jails. In addition to that, the county assumes that when they can hold some of these convicts who are serving a short term at the Foley Jail, they will reduce the population of those in other jails where most of the inmate are transferred.
A look at the inmates who pass through Foley Jail shows that there is a consistent pattern in their characteristics. For instance, most of them are convicted of misdemeanor offenses. They are the people who are arrested for assault, drunk driving, theft, disorderliness, and similar offenses. It is rare to find inmates who have committed the more serious crimes at this facility because they are handled in other jails that are not classified as low security the way Foley has been classified.
At Foley Jail, detainees from the neighboring municipalities and counties are also held. It is because the entire justice system is coordinated by the state and therefore, counties have to work closely to ensure that all inmates are properly taken care of. In addition to that, there are several personal development programs for inmates including education, rehabilitation and integration into the society. All these programs are ran by professionals in the respective disciplines.
