RALEIGH – Today’s closure of McCain Correctional Hospital in Hoke County marks the end of eight months of work to close seven prisons and convert several others as ordered by the legislature in the 2009-10 budget. The seven prison closings and changes at nine others eliminated 516 positions for a $22.3 million annual savings. The department was able to place 417 employees into other vacant positions within the agency and 73 employees left the agency after receiving severance. Approximately 2,000 inmates transferred to other prisons as part of the process. “This could not have been completed as smoothly and efficiently without the coordinated and dedicated work of hundreds of people at the affected prisons, in human resources and in prison administration,” said Secretary Alvin Keller. “We are grateful for everyone’s efforts and professionalism during a complicated and sometimes difficult process.” The prisons that closed and their closing dates are: Wilmington Residential Facility for Women Sept. 1, 2009 Guilford Correctional Center Oct. 1, 2009 Gates Correctional Center Oct. 1, 2009 Union Correctional Center Oct. 1, 2009 Umstead Correctional Center Nov. 1, 2009 Cleveland Correctional Center Dec. 1, 2009 McCain Correctional Hospital Apr. 1, 2010 Two other prisons merged into larger neighboring prisons effective Dec. 1, 2009. Anson Correctional Center became a minimum-security unit of Brown Creek Correctional Institution and Rowan Correctional Center similarly became a part of Piedmont Correctional Institution. Hoke and Odom Correctional Institutions as well as Lincoln Correctional Center converted from medium to minimum-custody, resulting in staff reductions. Additional inmates were housed at Warren, Nash, Pamlico and Craven Correctional Institutions, resulting in additional staff at those facilities. |
