Located at 1501 Eoff St in Wheeling, WV, Ohio County Jail carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Ohio County Jail 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 OCCC has undergone several transformations since its establishment in 1974 as a jail for Ohio County. Following its closure in 1994 concurrent with the opening of the Northern Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, the West Virginia Division of Corrections leased the facility starting in 1998. Initially serving as an adult female facility, OCCC transitioned to housing male inmates, specifically technical parole violators, in March 2003 upon the inauguration of the Lakin Correctional Center for Women.
Within OCCC, the Alcohol and Drug Education, Treatment, and Relapse Prevention Program (ALADRUE) offers a comprehensive three-tiered approach to substance abuse treatment. This program, available statewide, addresses the needs of incarcerated individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. The curriculum covers psychoeducation, recovery rooted in the 12-step model, and relapse prevention strategies, aiming to equip participants with the tools for long-term sobriety.
Moreover, OCCC operates Long-term Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Units, implementing therapeutic community models to address chronic alcoholism and addiction within the prison system. This approach exposes offenders to societal values while providing intensive treatment programs to facilitate recovery and reduce recidivism rates. Additionally, the agency runs a community-based center to support offenders transitioning back into society post-incarceration, offering peer support and follow-up addiction services.
The facility also offers Anger Management programs designed to help offenders manage their emotions and interactions in a socially acceptable manner. Through cognitive-behavioral techniques, participants learn to take responsibility for their emotions, develop coping strategies, and enhance communication skills.
Furthermore, WV Correctional Industries, established in 1939, serves as a vital correctional program providing skills training, reducing idleness, and aiding rehabilitation efforts. Furnishing necessities to government and non-profit organizations, the program offers opportunities for skill development and productive engagement, contributing to the goal of successful reintegration into society.
