Parkersburg Correctional Center and Jail were formerly the Holiday Inn that closed in August 2007. PBCC officially opened on August 6, 2012 and received the first inmates on August 29, 2012. PBCC is a minimum-security facility which currently houses 130 male offenders who are carefully screened through a risk assessment classification method for participation in the work release program. Inmates assigned to the facility are minimum or community classification status and must be within eighteen months of parole eligibility or discharge. They are monitored for program compliance, tested for alcohol and drug use, and supervised when in the community through random phone calls, supervisor evaluations, and unannounced visits from staff.

Inmates are encouraged to further their education by attending General Education Classes (GED), vocational classes, and college courses when applicable. They are also employed in the community in various jobs and pay a percentage of their income to the facility to help defray the cost of incarceration and save taxpayers money. They also utilize their opportunity in the work release program to begin paying child support, court costs or fines, and restitution they may owe. PBCC inmates also assist local communities through various community service projects.

Work Release Program

Inmates are required to work assigned jobs while at the facility as well as perform a minimum of 80 hours of Community Service work.
