While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Taylorville CC, established in 1990, serves as a minimum-security adult male facility in Christian County, situated approximately 30 miles southeast of Springfield. Notably, the facility gained distinction in 1995 by being designated as a security threat group (STG)-free institution, housing offenders unaffiliated with any STGs. This initiative has proven effective in population management, as STG-free inmates exhibit fewer rule infractions and respond well to management techniques. Complementing this strategy, the facility offers a range of programs aimed at enhancing inmates' life and work skills, thereby increasing their prospects for successful reintegration into society upon release.
The prison's programs play a crucial role in redirecting and refining inmate behavior constructively. Educational opportunities abound, allowing inmates to pursue adult basic education and earn their GED. Vocational programs include partnerships with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, offering training in various construction occupations, culinary arts, horticulture, and commercial custodial maintenance. Furthermore, inmates have access to parenting classes, self-esteem counseling, substance abuse and sex offender treatment programs, contributing to their rehabilitation journey.
Inmate Programs encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from academic and vocational pursuits to support services and therapy. Volunteer services such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are available, along with initiatives like Project Storybook facilitated by Lutheran Social Services. Additional offerings include Lifestyle Redirection, Substance Abuse, Anger Management, self-esteem, and Sex Offender Programs, all aimed at addressing specific rehabilitative needs. The presence of a comprehensive library and law library, chaplaincy services, leisure time activities, and group therapy sessions further enrich the inmate experience. Noteworthy programs include the Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program, Stress Reduction, and the Young Offender Program, all contributing to the holistic approach adopted by Taylorville Correctional Center towards inmate rehabilitation and community reintegration.
Taylorville CC 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.
