The inmates housed at Orange CI located at 2110 Clarence Walters Rd in Hillsborough, 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.

Orange Correctional Center in Hillsborough is a minimum security prison for adult males. The prison originally housed medium custody inmates and was converted to a minimum security unit in 1966.

Piedmont Community College works with the prison to provide vocational classes in food service technology and light construction. Classes for adult education and preparation for the GED test are available. Individual tutoring is available through the Orange County Literacy Council volunteers who come regularly to the facility.

Inmates may be assigned to Department of Transportation road crews, Highway Litter Crew, Community Work Program or work under contract for local government agencies. Inmates may also be assigned to unit jobs such as maintenance, kitchen, yard, clothes house or library. Inmates may participate in work release, leaving the prison for the part of the day to work for a business in the community. Study release is available at UNC-Chapel Hill. Inmates are strongly encouraged to participate in substance abuse treatment programs.

The Alamance/Orange Prison Ministry funds a full-time chaplain at the facility and is raising funds to build a Religious Services Center. This group, along with other community organizations, is working closely with the Center in developing a transition program targeted toward inmates who have shown themselves to be serious about changing their lives and are working to do so.

HISTORY - Orange was one of 51 county prisons the state assumed responsibility for with the passage of the Conner Bill in 1931. It was one of 61 field unit prisons renovated or built during the late 1930s to house inmates who worked building roads.

Orange was one of the 49 prisons in the Small vs. Martin federal lawsuit brought by inmates in 1985. The class action lawsuit resulted in a settlement agreement that required the elimination of triple bunking and limited the number of inmates that could be imprisoned there.

The General Assembly provided two 50-bed dormitories for Orange in the $28.5 million Emergency Prison Facilities Development program authorized in 1987. The dormitory and a multipurpose building were ready when additional inmates arrived in July 1988.

The prison's original dormitory is still in use. A segregation building was converted into a chaplain's office and a library building was renovated for medical and office space. A 40-man segregation facility was completed in December 2008 and opened in December 2009
