	About/Additional Info:	Southeastern Community College works with the prison to provide vocational programming in Commercial Cleaning. Classes for adult education and preparation for the GED are available. Offenders may take a course on substance abuse. Offenders work in a number of jobs. They may work on Maintenance, Food Service, Housekeeing, Groundskeeping or doing laundry. Correction Enterprises has a sewing/tailoring plant that provides additional job training. The prison's original dormitory, built in the late 1930s, is still in use. In the 1970's, offenders under the supervision of correction engineers built a recreation building and a 28-cell unit to house offenders placed in administrative or disciplinary segregation. The General Assembly provided dormitories with 312 beds as part of a $75 million prison construction program in 1990. Another 208-bed dormitory was provided as part of a $62.1 million prison construction program in April 1994.
