Located at 444 County Home Rd in Blanch, NC, Caswell CI carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Caswell CI 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.
Caswell Correctional Center, located near Yanceyville, serves as a medium security prison for adult males. Initially established as one of the 51 county prisons assumed by the state in 1931, Caswell underwent significant transformations over the years. Originally functioning as a farm-focused facility for misdemeanants, it transitioned to housing medium and minimum custody inmates together in 1968.
The prison's historical evolution reflects the era's emphasis on inmate labor, with the farm operating into the 1960s and inmates contributing to road construction efforts. As Caswell expanded its capabilities, new structures were erected, including a dining hall in the 1950s, a recreation building, and a segregation unit with 24 single cells supervised by correction engineers in the 1970s.
In response to the increasing inmate population, significant expansions were undertaken. A 104-bed inmate dormitory and support buildings were added in January 1989, funded as part of an emergency prison development program. Further legislative allocations in 1990 facilitated the construction of additional dormitories, an administration building, operations center, and dining hall, culminating in an increase in staff and a maximum population of 484 inmates by January 1993.
Work assignments at Caswell are diverse, offering inmates opportunities for skill development and vocational training. Inmates may work on one of seven Department of Transportation road squads, clearing roadways under supervision, or engage in facility maintenance tasks such as kitchen duties or custodial work. Additionally, vocational courses offered through Piedmont Community College cover a range of fields including welding, HVAC technology, horticulture, and industrial maintenance, providing inmates with valuable skills for reintegration into society.
Educational opportunities are also available, with GED preparatory classes and remedial education programs offered to inmates with less than a high school education. Piedmont Community College's instructional programs expanded to include electrical and pneumatic tool repair, allowing participating inmates to engage in a tool repair program benefiting public agencies.
Throughout its history, Caswell has adapted to meet evolving needs, housing construction crews for nearby projects and collaborating with educational institutions to enhance rehabilitation efforts. The emphasis on inmate education, vocational training, and practical work assignments underscores the prison's commitment to preparing individuals for successful reentry into the community.
Caswell CI 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.
Visits to NCDPS offenders are by appointment only. Call the prison where the offender is housed to schedule an appointment. Visitors should call the prison the day before a scheduled visit to confirm the facility's visitation status. Also, video visitation now is available at most but not all prisons, so family and friends may be able to do a virtual visit if they prefer. Call the prison for additional information on video visitation at the facility.
Visitation by family and friends is encouraged and can make a positive difference during an offender's time in prison. Prison staff understand the importance of offenders maintaining contact with their family and friends. However, offenders can not be assigned to specific facilities within the prison system for the convenience of visitation.
For more information regarding prisons and visitation, please read the Handbook for Family and Friends of Offenders.
