DRC Lite Release Context
Sand Mountain Day Reporting Center Lite is an Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles reporting and supervision resource in Albertville that serves Marshall County. It is not the Marshall County Jail. It is not an ADOC prison. A person connected to the center is usually being managed through a supervision plan, court order, or reentry structure after another custody or sentencing event.
That distinction controls release confirmation. If someone has an assignment at the DRC Lite, the fact to verify is supervision or reporting status. If the person left the county jail, use the sheriff released roster. If the person left state prison, use ADOC, VNS, ABPP, and court sources. If the person completed or changed a DRC Lite assignment, ABPP and the court order are the best starting points.
| Record need | Best route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current reporting assignment | ABPP / DRC Lite contact | The center handles local reporting activity. |
| Probation or parole order | ABPP and Marshall County court record | The legal authority usually comes from court or ABPP. |
| County jail release date | Sheriff released roster | The jail roster covers jail bookings, not DRC reporting. |
| State prison release event | ADOC, VNS, ABPP, and public records | ADOC is current-only online after release. |
Confirm DRC Lite Status
When a released person is thought to be connected to Sand Mountain DRC Lite, the search should work from supervision outward. The public sheriff roster can confirm a county jail release, but it cannot prove a DRC Lite assignment. ADOC may show a current state inmate before release, but it drops historical released data from the public search. ABPP and court records fill the gap for local reporting and supervision.
- Use the ABPP Sand Mountain DRC Lite listing for the center contact.
- If the assignment came from probation, check the Marshall County Circuit Clerk for the court order.
- If the person was released from ADOC, check Alabama VNS, ABPP, or ADOC public records for the state release event.
- If the person was booked locally, search the sheriff released roster for the county jail booking.
- Use the Guntersville ABPP Field Office when the broader Marshall County supervision file is the issue.
The parole and probation page explains how ABPP supervision works across Marshall County. DRC Lite is one local reporting point inside that larger supervision network.
Sand Mountain DRC Contact
The ABPP location source gives the Albertville address and phone for Sand Mountain Day Reporting Center Lite and identifies Marshall as the county served. When asking for public routing, have the person's full name, any supervising officer information, court case number, ADOC AIS number if known, and any jail booking number. Do not assume the center can release all case details to the public.

About Sand Mountain DRC
A day reporting center lite is best understood as a structured reporting resource. It may support supervision, accountability, classes, services, or reporting expectations. The exact assignment depends on ABPP and the court or supervision file. It should not be described as a detention facility that publishes a release list.
The research screenshot from ABPP's Sand Mountain DRC Lite page confirms the location and Marshall County service area.
That source is directly relevant because it keeps the page anchored to an official ABPP location rather than a general reentry description.
Marshall County Reentry Context
Research identified a local ABPP news release about Sand Mountain DRC Lite graduates celebrating at R.O.S.S. Marshall County Community Center. The R.O.S.S. Marshall County location is in Albertville and lists a local recovery support route. That source adds local context to the DRC Lite page, but it should be used carefully. It does not prove any one person's supervision status or release date.
For practical release verification, separate support resources from official records. A reentry or recovery center can help with local navigation, but the public record still comes from ABPP, the court, the sheriff, ADOC, or another custodian. If a person says they are assigned to DRC Lite, ask which agency ordered or supervised that assignment, then check that source.
- Reporting center
- A local supervision resource where a person may report as required.
- Reentry support
- Community resources that may help after release but do not create custody records.
- Supervision file
- ABPP or court materials that explain requirements, compliance, and status.
DRC Lite Records Path
A focused records request should ask for public confirmation of the event the requester needs: assignment, reporting status, completion, referral, violation return, or discharge from a specific reporting requirement. Some records may be restricted because supervision files can contain sensitive case information. If ABPP cannot release a detail, the court order may still show the requirement that created the assignment.
Use the sheriff roster only when the DRC Lite history connects to a jail booking. Use ADOC only when the person may be in current state custody or when state prison release records are needed through an ADOC public-records request. Use the court for probation terms, sentence orders, and revocation outcomes. Note: A day-reporting center listing does not create a public inmate roster.
If the person moved from ADOC to supervision, Alabama VNS may document a release-related event for eligible users, while ABPP and the local field office remain the better public routing points for current reporting questions. Keep a copy of the court case number, because it often ties the release, supervision, and reporting records together.
DRC vs Jail Release
Marshall County Jail custody and DRC Lite reporting can appear close together in time, but they answer different questions. The jail release date says the person left a county booking. The DRC Lite record says whether the person was assigned to or completed a supervision-related activity. A court record may connect the two by ordering release to a program, probation, or other condition.
| System | What it can confirm |
|---|---|
| Marshall County Jail | Booking and release date for a jail event. |
| Sand Mountain DRC Lite | Reporting or program status if publicly confirmable. |
| ABPP Guntersville Field Office | Marshall County parole, probation, or mandatory supervision routing. |
| Marshall County court | Orders and dispositions that created or changed the supervision requirement. |
