On May 10, 1981, the aged and infirmed
inmates from Kilby Correctional Facility were moved to Hamilton into a
refurbished facility purchased from the Alabama Mental Health
Department. At the same time, the Hamilton Work Release Center located
nearby in a previous road camp facility was closed. This established
the Hamilton Aged and Infirmed Center (HAIC), which combined the two
sub-populations groups into one facility. However, in August 1985,
additional space was needed for an increasing aged and/or infirmed
sub-population, and the work release element relocated back into the
previous Work Release Center. HAIC has approximately five acres within
a security fence, and houses minimum and medium custody inmates that
are aged and/or infirmed. The medium custody A&I inmates are housed
in such a manner as to provide adequate security along with the
necessary medical services needed by each individual. A staff of
minimum custody inmates provide facility upkeep and community work
service.
