	About/Additional Info:	Anson Correctional Institution houses female offenders in close and medium custody in the former Lanesboro Correctional Institution, which housed male close and medium custody offenders. In 2019, male offenders were moved to Southern and Eastern correctional institutions as part of a prison remissioning project. Correction Enterprises operates the offender packaging operation, which will continue with female offenders. The facility, which has partnered with Union Supply Direct, is part of the Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program (PIE). Family and friends can order a package of goods from a pre-approved shopping list to send to the offender. Orders are packaged by offenders and shipped quarterly. Offenders working for PIE programs make prevailing wages above the typical wages earned by offenders at other positions. Anson CI has more programming space than any other female facility in the state, Some of the programs provided include Thinking for a Change, Get it Right (Change Plan Journal, Responsible Thinking, Relapse Prevention), Anger Management, Commitment to Change, Mother Read, Reaching Out from Within, Proverbs 226, High School Equivalency, and three programs directed by Guilford College – Certificate Program, LEED and Peer Support, and Specialist Classes. Other programming will be provided at a later time.
