The inmates housed at Caledonia CI located at 2787 Caledonia Dr in Tillery, NC are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

History - With the intent of putting inmates to work, the General Assembly leased the Caledonia farm in 1890. Nine years later, the property was purchased for $61,000. Roanoke River flooding damaged the farm in 1901 and 1902. In 1919, the prison farm was auctioned in parcels that raised $497,000. However, the auction did not raise more cash because most of the land was purchased on credit.
Flooding problems continued to plague the area and most of the farm was repossessed by the state within five years of the auction. About 600 inmates were returned to the prison and housed in temporary wooden shacks. They cleared the land for farming. In 1925, construction began on a brick dormitory. Inmates moved into the building in 1927. Heat and hot water were provided in 1929.
In 1976, 144 additional cells were built. These cells currently house medium custody adult males. Another 142 cells built in 1980 are used to house medium custody inmates. The prison also has buildings for vocational classes and recreation.
In August 2014, Tillery Correctional Center merged with Caledonia CI and is now known as Caledonia Minimum. This prison was originally built to provide minimum security beds for inmates working at the state prison farm when Halifax Correctional Center was a medium security unit. (Halifax was later changed back to a minimum security prison and eventually closed in 1996).
In 1987, the General Assembly provided for the creation of the prison with a 208-bed dormitory as part of a $28.5 million Emergency Prison Facilities Development program. Another 208-bed dormitory was added by lawmakers as part of a $55 million prison construction program in 1989.
Caledonia Minimum sits on a 20-acre site about a quarter-mile from Caledonia CI. It houses inmates in two buildings, each with four dorms, connected by a central multipurpose area. There are six additional buildings, including an administrative building, program support building, dining hall, vocational building, and multipurpose building.
Inmates work on farm crews at the prison farm. They may also be assigned to maintenance or janitorial duties at Caledonia Medium. Inmates may work on labor contracts and manual labor jobs for local governments. Other inmates work in the prison as food service help.
