Located at 313 Anthony Center Dr in White Sulphur Springs, WV, Anthony Correctional carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Anthony Correctional 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.

The ACC has a rich history, initially established as the Anthony Civilian Job Corps Center by the federal government in 1965-66. In 1970, it was leased to the West Virginia Department of Public Institutions (now Division of Corrections) to function as a community-involved, educationally-oriented correctional facility for male juvenile offenders. Presently, ACC primarily accommodates male and female young adult offenders aged 18-25, committed for terms ranging from six months to two years.

The facility houses 176 youthful males, 36 youthful females, and 8 adult male trustees who provide consistent workforce support in laundry, kitchen, and night crew duties. ACC mandates offenders to enroll in the WV Department of Education programming, offering academic and vocational courses such as auto mechanics, culinary arts, and welding. Moreover, college classes are accessible through the local Community College.

ACC is also proactive in substance abuse treatment, implementing the ALADRUE program to address drug and alcohol abuse. This program, available in all state facilities, comprises three phases: Psychoeducation, Recovery, and Relapse Prevention. Furthermore, ACC operates Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) units within the facility, providing long-term treatment beds for chronic alcoholics and addicts.

Additionally, ACC offers Anger Management programs, aimed at enhancing offenders' ability to manage emotions and interactions. The institution's correctional industries, established in 1939, furnish necessities to government and non-profit organizations in West Virginia, contributing to skill development and reducing inmate idleness and recidivism. Through its diverse array of programs and initiatives, ACC remains dedicated to the rehabilitation and reintegration of its offender population.
