Alabama is not one of the 19 states that have "civil commitment" laws. Civil commitment is not a punishment phase.
Rather, it's an action to prevent further offenses by a person who has served his prison time but who cannot be trusted to avoid repeating the crimes for which he was jailed.
A lifetime prison sentence accomplishes the same thing. While YOU may not consider a lifetime "civil commitment" punishment, that is exactly what it is.

Define it however you like. I don't care. The point is that the pedophile does not have access to children.
Seriously, though, Alabama, Kentucky and most of the rest of the South allow multiple crimes against children before taking the pedophile seriously. If you're right about Alabama's punishments, then they're tougher than Kentucky's but is that saying much?
I mean, why isn't a pedophile who commits multiple offenses for his first charge in Alabama, as you mentioned, either committed for life in prison or a mental hospital? Isn't that what we need to get him out of society?
