At Cedar Creek, we make positive change happen.

Cedar Creek Corrections Center (CCCC) is located 23 miles southwest of Olympia. Through a unique partnership with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), an interagency agreement leases the 38-acre compound to DOC and provides both DNR and CCCC with shared office space, warehouse space, vehicle and facility maintenance. The agreement establishes guidelines for CCCC to provide offenders to assist on fire and forest reforestation crews. CCCC employs 120 staff.

Visiting an Offender

Important Notice for Visitors

Beginning September 4, 2009 all prisons in Washington State are taking extra precautions to lower the risk of influenza and other illnesses entering our facilities. Because of the unique nature of prisons and the special risks posed by the spread of illnesses we will deny entrance to visitors who have flu-like symptoms.

Symptoms of flu include: fever or chills and either cough or sore throat. Additional symptoms of flu can include runny nose, body aches, headache, fatigue, diarrhea, or vomiting.

Visitors who display these symptoms will be denied for that day and visiting may resume after the person has been symptom-free for 24 hours. This measure is necessary to prevent the virus' spread and to ensure the safety of all visitors, staff and offenders - especially those in high-risk categories.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

H1N1 Precautions

Due to the recent spread of the novel H1N1, or swine flu, virus the Department of Corrections encourages visitors who have flu symptoms to stay home. These symptoms include runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, cough and fever.

Please remember that the best way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is by practicing the following precautions:

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it;
  • Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially after you cough or sneeze;
  • Try to avoid close contact with sick people;
  • If you get sick, stay home and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them;
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

These are the same precautions that should be taken to stop transmitting all influenza viruses.

Facility History

CCCC opened in 1954 under the Department of Intuitions as a Forest Youth Camp, housing juvenile male offenders. CCCC's conversion from a juvenile facility to an adult male facility occurred in 1979, and the facility has expanded twice to meet the growing needs of the Department. In 2008, CCCC is anticipating another expansion project to include the addition of 100 beds, increased program space and an expanded perimeter control booth.

Programs

CCCC is considered a 'work' camp, therefore all offenders are required to work and/or participate in programs that prepare them to re-enter the community as productive citizens. The offenders are expected to work a minimum of six to eight hours per day.

Pierce College offers adult basic education and general education classes. Other offender change programs include Read to Me Daddy, Job Hunter, Anger and Stress Management classes, The Getting it Right Program, preparing for release and Chemical Dependency, including Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. In addition, CCCC offers certificate programs in Building Maintenance, Fire Fighting skills (in association with DNR), Facility and Grounds maintenance, General Building maintenance, and Wastewater treatment.

Community Involvement

CCCC has several community involvement programs.Through the “Adopt a School Program”, CCCC, DNR and the Littlerock Elementary School work collaboratively on ways to enhance the teaching and learning environment of the school. Past projects include the development of a gardening program, WASL Awards and the construction of bird houses to help educate the children on natural wildlife in their area. The Kiwanis Club donates several hundred starter plants and seeds to their local community garden. CCCC partners with DNR to maintain trails and surrounding campgrounds of the Capital Forest. CCCC also provides services to Stafford Creek Corrections Center and the Washington Corrections Center, to include wastewater treatment plant operation recycling, motor pools, warehouse operations, general maintenance and construction projects. In addition, CCCC provides community service crews that perform thousands of hours of work each year for local, county, non-profit and state agencies.
