Taylorsville, NC Alexander Correctional Institution View
Alexander Correctional Institution is a single-cell, close-custody prison facility located in Taylorsville. The prison employs correctional officers, registered nurses, nurse extenders, mental health providers, dental, maintenance and administrative staff. The prison has 128 segregation cells, eight medical infirmary beds and a 252-bed minimum-security unit. The prison operates under the management concept. Unit management is a method for managing offenders that emphasizes decentralization and delegates decision-making authority to a unit team. Offenders are assigned to one of the four units based on their work, program or control assignment. Blue Unit houses offenders with chronic health issues, new admissions into the institution, offenders being released from segregation or control status, and offenders assigned to unit-specific jobs. Green Unit houses offenders assigned to the Correction Enterprises furniture plant, institutional job and program assignments. Red Unit houses offenders assigned to the residential mental health program, specific and segregation janitorial jobs, and outpatient mental health status. The segregation unit houses offenders assigned to administrative and disciplinary segregation, as well as those on intensive and maximum control. In 2007, a Correction Enterprises plant that produces wood products items and upholstered furniture began operation in the vocational space within the prison. Staff from Catawba Valley Community College conducts an instruction program that works with CE staff to train offenders in the manufacturing process. Instructors from CVCC also provide instruction for the offender population for basic education, GED prep, computer application, commercial cleaning and horticulture technology..
