Catawba Correctional Center

Catawba Correctional Center is located in Newton North Carolina.  It is a minimum custody prison that houses 246 adult males.  This facility focuses on transitioning offenders from prison life to their release.  Re-entry programs, and male nurturing courses are provided to inmates who are nearing their release date to help prepare them.  Educational courses help inmates earn a GED during their incarceration, and a work release program prepares inmates by giving them a financial foundation and instilling good work habits prior to their release.

The work release program offered at Catawba Correctional Center allows an inmate to work within the surrounding community in the private sector, and return to the institution at the end of their shift.  The funds they earn can be saved for when they gain full release, and can be used to help support their family and pay any restitution or existing fines.  If an inmate is not eligible for work release they may also work jobs within Catawba Correctional Center.  These jobs include working in the kitchen, in laundry, and in janitorial and building maintenance.
