Plummer Community Corrections Center (PCCC)

Plummer Community Corrections Center (PCCC) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 302-761-2800

This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Plummer Community Corrections Center (PCCC) located at 38 Todds Ln in Wilmington, DE are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

PCCC is a multi-faceted facility that currently manages and supervises male and female offenders who are participating in traditional work release (WR), Crest (substance abuse treatment) and the Intensive Community Supervision Program (ICSP). PCCC also employs a corps of offenders, at an established wage structure, as workers for the facility. These workers are placed in jobs that offer skills training, cultivate good work habits, utilize existing talent to benefit the DOC, foster social appropriateness and teach responsibility. They provide support to Department staff in the areas of food service, maintenance, telephone operations, housekeeping/janitorial, grounds keeping and laundry service for residents.

PCCC also operates community work projects that provide service to the local community, including clean up, snow removal, small repairs and other supervised work. Newly received work release offenders in orientation phase and weekenders are assigned to community service projects. A typical weekender is serving time for DUI or under Family Court commitment. They remain at PCCC from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 6:00 p.m. Sunday. This is done in an effort to teach offenders responsibility and provide a measure of reparation to the community.

Work Release

Work Release provides a structured program that allows gradual transition from prison life to full-time living in the community and diversion options for the courts. This program presents an opportunity and means for the reintegration of offenders through participation in work, education, court mandated and voluntary treatment, training and skills building and counseling programs, while the Department maintains the safety of the public.

An offender enters the work release program by order of a court or is classified to participate by DOC officials. Offenders normally stay in work release less than one year, with the average stay of four to six months. Work release participants typically work for private employers. They must display pro-social behaviors such as honesty, responsibility and accountability. Random substance abuse testing is mandatory throughout their stay at PCCC. While employed full-time, offenders must pay a $25 per week room and board fee and $25 toward any court obligations that include costs, fines, child support and victim compensation. Persons working part-time pay $15 per weekly for the same obligations.

Through an established "Phase System" (Phase I – VI), offenders are permitted to spend time with an approved host, and to attend worship service, take care of personal shopping, etc. As they progress through the phases, they are granted increased freedom and responsibility. Routine and random curfew checks are conducted and occasional home visits.

Intensive Community Supervision Program (ICSP)

This program is responsible for supervising offenders in the community while they are awaiting space at a Level IV program. This program also supervises offenders convicted for certain motor vehicle offenses such as DUI and traditional work release offenders who live at home. Offenders are required to check in with their probation officers at PCCC a minimum of three times a week. They must maintain the established curfew and submit to random urine screens throughout their supervision. Additionally, probation officers make random field/home visits as part of the stepped up supervision regimen.

Plummer Community Corrections Center is located in Wilmington Delaware. The facility is responsible for both male and females who are in the work release stage of their sentence. Many of the work is done within the surrounding community and help with things like snow removal, spring cleanups, and other work that is supervised.

The work release program can help inmates prepare for being released by reintroducing them to a structured and supervised life that extends into the outside world. Offenders who have full time employmentmust pay a small price of $25 per week to room and board.
