The Columbus Correctional Institution (also CCI or CCDC) is a medium security prison for adult males, near Brunswick, North Carolina.[1] The prison's original dormitory block, built during the late 1930s, is still in use. During the 1970s inmates under the supervision of correction engineers built a recreation area including a 28 cell unit to house inmates who had been placed under administrative and/or disciplinary segregation.
The facility offers adult education and GED preparation classes. Inmates may take courses on substance abuse. The total staff is 241 (as of February 2017) and has a maximum inmate capacity of just under 700.
