Black Mountain, NC Western Correctional Center for Women  View

Western Correctional Center for Women (formerly Swannanoa Correctional Center for Women) opened on July 7, 2008. Women previously housed at Black Mountain Correctional Center for Women were transferred to the former Swannanoa CCW on that date. Western CCW renovated four dormitories: Greenwood, Frye, Sloop and Gilliat. Renovations on the vocation building provided offenders with an educational classroom and an operating greenhouse. Renovations to the Buchanan building accommodated the increasing offender population and offer more educational classrooms and a medical wing. On Oct. 4, 2021, the facility's name was changed to Western Correctional Center for Women..
