Located at 404 Statesboro Rd in North Wilkesboro, NC, Wilkes CC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Wilkes CC 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.
While its minimum-security fences holds 262 adult male inmates, Wilkes Correctional Center is more than just a prison. It's a hub of activity, rehabilitation, and preparation for reintegration into society.
At the heart of this unique approach lies the work program. Forget traditional prison chores. Wilkes inmates gain valuable job skills and earn incentive wages through diverse on-site work assignments, from food service and maintenance to landscaping and recreation. They even contribute to the smooth operation of the facility through jobs in the clothes house and canteen.
But the opportunities extend beyond the prison walls. For those nearing release, the transformative work release program opens doors to businesses in the Wilkes County area. Here, inmates gain real-world experience, build relationships with the community, and earn income, making the transition back to civilian life smoother.
Education goes hand-in-hand with work in fostering positive change. Wilkes Community College partners with the prison to provide a range of educational opportunities. From earning a High School Equivalency to mastering computer skills, inmates can equip themselves with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in the workforce.
The commitment to rehabilitation doesn't stop there. Life skills training, substance abuse programs, and even courses on ethical behavior prepare inmates for the challenges and responsibilities they will face beyond the prison walls.
This dedication to a comprehensive approach extends even to the facility itself. The original dormitory, a testament to the prison's long history, stands alongside newer additions, reflecting the evolving needs and philosophies of rehabilitation.
Wilkes Correctional Center is more than just a minimum-security facility. It's a stepping stone, a bridge between incarceration and a positive future. Through hands-on work opportunities, educational resources, and a focus on personal growth, it empowers individuals to rebuild their lives and become productive members of society.
Wilkes CC 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.
