Holman Correctional Facility opened
during December 1969, with a basic capacity for 520 medium custody
inmates that also included a 20 death row cellblock. It was constructed
for $5,000,000 during Governor Lurleen Wallace and Commissioner James
T. Hagen’s administration. Named in honor of a former warden William C.
Holman, it is located in southwest Escambia County, nine miles north of
Atmore on State Highway 21.
Holman currently maintains 630
general population beds, 200 single cells, and 168 death row cells for
a capacity of 998 maximum through minimum custody inmates to include a
large contingency of "life without parole" inmates. The death chamber
is located at Holman where all executions are conducted. Holman also
operates two major correctional industries within the facility’s
parameter, a tag plant and a metal fabrication plant.
