The inmates housed at Parkersburg Correctional located at 225 Holiday HIlls Dr in Parkersburg, WV 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.

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 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.
