There are 96 cells used for administrative and disciplinary segregation. This construction was completed in 1995. Upon arrival, inmates undergo a series of diagnostic evaluations that will determine future prison assignments. Many inmates are at Piedmont with short stays because they are being processed into the prison system or receive medical or dental services. A three-chair dental operatory is staffed on a full time basis.
Inmates work with professional staff and peer counselors.
DART relies heavily on the principles of Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous with group meetings available in the evenings. Correction Enterprises operates a tailoring plant at Piedmont. Three Enterprises employees supervise inmates who work in the tailoring plant. Other inmates may work as maintenance or kitchen help. The institution provides vocational classes in woodworking, auto mechanics and auto body repair.
