The prison's original dormitory built in the late 1930s is still in use. In the 1970's, inmates under the supervision of correction engineers built a recreation building and a 28-cell unit to house inmates placed in administrative or disciplinary segregation. Southeastern Community College works with the prison to provide vocational classes in brick masonry, heating and air conditioning and plumbing. Classes for adult education and preparation for the GED tests are available. Inmates may take a course on substance abuse.
Inmates work in a number of jobs.
They may work on Department of Transportation road crews or as maintenance or kitchen help at the prison. Take U.S. 701 south from Whiteville and turn left onto N.C. 130 east. Travel 1.6 miles to Brunswick. Go 1.5 miles down Poplar Street and the prison is on the left. All rights reserved.
