The inmates housed at Clark Co JWC located at 5197 NW Lower River Rd in Vancouver, WA are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
The JWC is a minimum-security facility housing is co-ed, available to both male and female inmate which uses direct supervision while allowing inmates freedom of movement and activities. The Work Release building is a housing unit, and one of the buildings at the JWC facility. There is a bed capacity of 100 inmates; 30 beds are reserved for state offenders and the remaining beds are filled with local offenders from Clark County District and Superior Courts. The offenders housed in this building are low risk and have qualified for the Work Release program. Sleeping areas are separated into male and female dorms.
Clark County currently has two housing facilities. The Main Jail is in the Clark County Law Enforcement Center located in downtown Vancouver, next to the Courthouse and across the street from the Public Service Center building. The Jail Work Center is located on Lower River Road.
In 2009, the combined daily average population for both facilities was 714. The population consists of individuals classified at minimum, medium and maximum security risk and are assigned a housing facility and area within the facility based on specific classification criteria.
The Work Release program is a partial confinement program for offenders to continue their employment or transition back into society. The program is a partnership between the Clark County Sheriff's Office and the Washington State Department of Corrections, also referred to as DOC.
Work Release Program Requirements - Inmates are to be drug and alcohol-free while in the Work Release program. They are given random urinalysis drug screen tests and Alco-Sensor tests to ensure this.
Restitution and fine payments to the courts are required from offenders in the Work Release program.
Offenders are responsible for the cost of outside medical services, counseling and chemical dependency treatment services or evaluations.
Offenders are assessed a daily room and board fee.
For Clark County offenders, Work Release is a sentencing alternative which permits qualified offenders to continue their employment while still serving their sentences in a controlled environment.
Local courts refer offenders eligible for the program to Work Release staff for screening.
