The Transition Centers operated by the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles will offer positive life-changing opportunities for parolees and probationers in life skills, substance abuse recovery, education, and occupational assessment and training in a residential campus environment. Long term solutions will be sought for each individual, taking a holistic approach utilizing available resources, family participation, and positive peer support.

Currently there is one transition center in Wetumpka which serves female residents, while the transition center in Thomasville houses male residents.

The Transition Centers are designed to provide a wide variety of services to include but not limited to: educational, vocational, life skills, parenting, counseling, substance abuse for residents. The residents voluntarily agree to abide by both parole conditions and special conditions (transition center rules). The centers are staffed and operational 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The residents are provided housing, meals, and laundry services. Healthcare will be the sole responsibility of the resident.
