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.
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.
