Located at 578 W Chickasaw Rd in Hagerman, NM, RCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. RCC 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.

RCC serves as a level II facility, offering a restrictive minimum-security environment for approximately 250 adult male state inmates in Hagerman, NM. The facility provides dormitory-like settings for housing, ensuring a controlled yet supportive atmosphere. For inmates struggling with substance abuse issues, RCC offers accessible treatment programs aimed at rehabilitation and recovery. Additionally, vocational programs are available, offering inmates the opportunity to learn welding skills and earn certification, paving the way for potential employment upon release.

Originally established in 1978 as a Minimum Facility (Level I) with a capacity for 65 inmates, RCC underwent significant growth and transformation. Recognizing the need for additional level II beds, the Department made crucial adjustments in January 2000. This transition elevated RCC's custody level from Level I to Level II, expanding its capacity to accommodate up to 340 inmates. This expansion not only addressed overcrowding concerns but also facilitated a more comprehensive range of programming and treatment options within the facility.

At RCC, inmates have access to diverse programming and treatment opportunities tailored to their needs and circumstances. Educational programs offer inmates the chance to improve their academic skills and gain valuable knowledge, enhancing their prospects for successful reintegration into society upon release. The welding program, complemented by certification opportunities, equips inmates with practical skills and vocational training, promoting self-sufficiency and employability.

In addressing substance abuse issues, RCC provides a supportive community environment where inmates can receive the necessary resources and guidance to overcome addiction and pursue a path towards recovery and rehabilitation. Moreover, religious services are offered to all inmates who wish to participate, fostering spiritual growth and emotional well-being among the incarcerated population.

One unique aspect of RCC is its volunteer fire department, which allows select inmates to contribute positively to the community and gain valuable skills and experience in firefighting and emergency response. This initiative not only benefits the inmates involved but also serves the broader community by enhancing public safety and emergency preparedness.

The strong sense of community involvement at RCC is further exemplified by its extensive volunteer base, comprising over 100 dedicated individuals who provide religious support and various other services to the inmates. This robust support network plays a vital role in promoting rehabilitation, fostering personal growth, and facilitating successful reintegration into society for those transitioning out of the correctional system.

Overall, Roswell Correctional Center stands as a testament to the importance of comprehensive programming, treatment, and community involvement in the rehabilitation and reintegration of incarcerated individuals. Through its multifaceted approach to correctional services, RCC strives to empower inmates, promote positive behavioral change, and ultimately contribute to safer and more resilient communities.
