Blanch, NC Caswell Correctional Center View
Caswell Correctional Center, near Yanceyville, is a medium security prison for adult males. Offenders may be assigned to work on Department of Transportation road squads. They may also work in the prison, typically as kitchen help or keeping the prison clean and in repair. For two years in the late 1990s, as many as 88 prisoners worked on offender construction crews to build the 600-man housing unit at the nearby Dan River Prison Work Farm. Piedmont Community College works with the prison to provide vocational courses including welding, HVAC technology, horticulture and industrial maintenance technology. Offenders with less than a high school education may participate in GED preparatory classes or remedial education. Offenders are also given an opportunity to participate in Bible study and worship services. In 1997, Piedmont CC began to provide instruction in electrical and pneumatic tool repair. Offenders who complete this program are put to work in a small tool repair program, repairing tools for the Department of Transportation and other public agencies. Caswell was one of 51 county prisons for which the state assumed responsibility with the passage of the Conner Bill in 1931. It was one of 61 field unit prisons renovated or built during the late 1930s to house offenders who worked on building roads. Like many of the era's prisons, Caswell also had a farm worked by the offenders to supply the prison kitchen. The prison farm operated into the 1960s..
