Programs
CWCF
boasts being the first State Prison to adopt the Correctional
Industries Canine Companion Program, established in 2002, which
provides the outside community with pre-trained companions for those
unable to train their own dogs. These dogs are perfect pets for the
elderly, families unable to invest time in training, or institutions
such as nursing homes or assisted living centers. One of the unique
aspects of this program is it saves dogs, both pure bred and mixed
breed, from humane shelters and rescue programs.
History
The
main facility of CWCF originally opened with a capacity of 90 female
offenders in 1968. According to an early press release, staffing
consisted of 37 female officers, and an average inmate daily population
of 50 to 60. The population has fluctuated over the years through
double bunking and the addition and subsequent removal of temporary
housing units which created the current housing capacity of 210 general
population plus 14 segregation beds.
