Prison Description

Women's Detention Center provides a sanctioning option for probationers who require more security or supervision than that provided by regular community supervision. Centers are highly structured with regimented schedules that include supervised, un-paid work in surrounding communities and programming geared toward making offenders more successful in the community. A six-acre property opened in 1992, Women's Probation Detention Center was the state's first detention center for female offenders. The operational theme is "Women Working" and it combines rehabilitative programs, community service, self-discipline and labor in order to improve self-confidence, independence and respect for one's self and for others. Smith State Prison is the host facility.
