By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate.

WCC isn't just a minimum-security facility for its 414 male residents. It's a unique hub of work, education, and rehabilitation, paving the way for a brighter future.
The heart of WCC lies in its extensive work program. Around 80% of inmates leave the facility daily, participating in incentive wage work assignments with various state agencies across Wake County. From maintaining the Governor's Mansion to assisting at the DMV, they gain valuable work experience and contribute meaningfully to the community. Opportunities extend beyond government agencies, with some inmates working at nearby correctional facilities or participating in the work release program, gaining employment within the community closer to their release date.
Yet, WCC doesn't solely focus on external work. Within the facility, inmates can tackle tasks like landscaping, food service, and maintenance, earning incentive wages while developing transferable skills. This practical experience is complemented by robust educational programs. Wake Technical Community College partners with WCC to offer full-time vocational training in fields like HVAC and electrical wiring, equipping inmates with marketable skills they can use upon release.
Academic pursuits are equally encouraged. GED courses and college-level options open doors to educational advancement, while programs like Blueprint Reading and Horticulture provide specialized knowledge. This commitment to learning extends beyond textbooks. The Family Enrichment Program, in partnership with Vinebrook Family Services, offers invaluable support to inmates and their families, addressing marriage and family issues to strengthen connections and prepare them for successful reintegration.
WCC's story isn't just about confined walls and numbers. It's a narrative of empowerment, opportunity, and second chances. Through its diverse work programs, comprehensive educational offerings, and family support initiatives, WCC empowers its residents to build brighter futures for themselves and their loved ones, one step at a time.
