Located at 272 Glen Rd in Troy, NC, Southern CI carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Southern 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.
Southern Correctional Institution stands as a unique blend of history, rehabilitation, and diverse opportunities. Originally opening in 1983 with a focus on processing male inmates, it has undergone significant transformations, evolving into a facility housing both male and female offenders at different custody levels.
From Processing Center to Multifaceted Facility: Southern's history reflects a dedication to progress. Initially established as a processing center for male offenders, it later housed youth inmates before transitioning to serve primarily close-custody male offenders. In 1996, it merged with the minimum-security Montgomery Correctional Center, gaining a workforce for maintenance and landscaping. Subsequently, overcrowding at the state's female facility led to the conversion of Southern's medium/close custody unit into a housing area for female inmates in 2004. This adaptability demonstrates the ongoing effort to address evolving needs within the corrections system.
Education and Skills Development: Recognizing the importance of individual growth, Southern Correctional Institution collaborates with Montgomery Community College to offer educational opportunities beyond the walls. From vocational classes in food service to preparation for GEDs, inmates gain valuable skills that can empower them upon release. The college-level courses in Business Administration and Computer Technology offer even further avenues for development, equipping individuals with knowledge applicable to future careers.
Labor Opportunities and Community Contribution: Inmates participate in various work programs, gaining experience and contributing to the facility and community. Minimum-custody residents participate in the community work program, performing short-term labor tasks for local agencies under supervision. Others engage in community work release jobs, allowing them to build work experience and earn wages. Within the facility, both male and female inmates contribute to its smooth operation through tasks like kitchen duties, maintenance, and janitorial work. Additionally, some medium/close-custody inmates have participated in the Blanket Recovery Project, transforming donated materials into blankets for those in need. This program fosters compassion and skill development while contributing to the community's well-being.
A Look Ahead: Southern Correctional Institution's evolving structure and diverse programs exemplify the potential for correctional facilities to be more than just places of confinement. By providing educational opportunities, work programs, and community involvement, Southern empowers its residents to build brighter futures for themselves and contribute positively to society upon release. This commitment to rehabilitation sets the stage for continued progress and positive change within the institution's walls and beyond.
Southern 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.
