This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Allendale CI located at 1057 Revolutionary Tr in Fairfax, SC 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.

Allendale Correctional Institution is a medium-security prison located in Fairfax, South Carolina for adult male offenders. Allendale CI became SCDC's first Character-Based Institution in 2015, offering a plethora of programs and services to inmates in an effort to better prepare to return citizens for successful entry, including Jumpstart (faith-based program that prepares inmates for life after prison); Bee program (making of honey); Quilting; Addiction Recovery Program; Animal Rescue and Training Program Cornerstone (Education Improvement Program) and numerous other programs.
