The RCMC is a minimum-security male facility that operates under the jurisdiction of the Mike Durfee State Prison. Situated in Rapid City, South Dakota, RCMC serves as a crucial component of the state's correctional system, focusing on the rehabilitation and reintegration of its inmate population.

One notable aspect of RCMC is its work-release program, which offers qualifying inmates the opportunity to work outside the facility during the day, contributing to the surrounding community. This program not only allows inmates to earn a living but also instills a sense of responsibility and independence, preparing them for eventual discharge. Supervised job opportunities, including firefighting and timber work, enhance inmates' skills and provide valuable experience.

Inmates at RCMC engage in various community service projects daily, ranging from firefighting duties to assisting with timber thinning in the Black Hills. These initiatives not only benefit the local community but also foster a sense of civic duty and responsibility among the inmate population. Additionally, some offenders participate in the Community Transition Program, which helps parolees adjust to life outside prison while still residing at RCMC.

Overall, RCMC serves as a vital bridge between incarceration and successful reintegration into society. Through its work-release program, community service projects, and transitional support services, RCMC strives to empower inmates with the skills and resources necessary to lead productive and law-abiding lives upon their release.
