Located at 2000 N 16th St in Clarinda, IA, CCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. CCF offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
The CCF, established in 1980, primarily serves general population offenders without identified issues, including those with special needs. Embracing the Department of Corrections' mission, CCF aims to equip inmates with skills and education for successful community reintegration.
Educational programs, provided through Iowa Western Community College, cover a range of subjects including HiSET, Literacy, Life Skills, and Digital Literacy. Additionally, CCF employs the Achieving Change Through Value-Based Behavior (ACTV) treatment program, focusing on behavior change through personal values, emotional awareness, and adaptive responses.
Opportunities with Iowa Prison Industries offer offenders work experience in industrial manufacturing, particularly in cargo trailer production. Apprenticeship programs in welding and metal fabrication provide comprehensive training, resulting in certification and journeyman status. CCF has expanded apprenticeships to include landscaping, with a focus on beekeeping, and is exploring material handling apprenticeships.
The facility also runs a dog program, where offenders train dogs for adoption. Other work opportunities include dietary, maintenance, groundskeeping, warehouse, and facility sanitation. CCF's overarching goal is to prepare inmates for successful reentry into society by fostering personal growth and vocational skills during incarceration.
CCF maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
