The inmates housed at Sampson CI located at 700 NW Blvd Hwy 421 North in Clinton, 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 - Sampson was one of 51 county prisons for which the state assumed responsibility with the passage of the Conner Bill in 1931 and was one of 61 field unit prisons renovated or built during the late 1930s to house inmates who worked building roads.

Minimum-custody inmates are housed in the older dormitories of the original prison compound, and medium-custody inmates are in the new dormitories in a more secure compound with towers and roving patrols manned by armed correction officers.

Lawmakers provided for a 104-bed dormitory as part of the $17.4 million prison construction program authorized in 1988. As part of the $55 million prison construction program in 1989, lawmakers provided for dormitories to house 208 inmates.

Construction was completed on two new dormitories, a multipurpose building, dining hall and chapel/recreation building in 1990. Another dormitory opened in 1991.

With the old dormitory rated to hold 44 inmates, the new construction provided the prison capacity to 464 inmates. The prison had another 10 single cells for placing inmates in administrative or disciplinary segregation.
