Community Involvement

WCC works closely with the community. We have numerous offender clubs who work to raise funds and complete projects to benefit community organizations such as "Toys for Tots", Turning Point, Mason County Homeless Shelters and The Veterans Association.

Mason County Re–Entry Coalition (MCRC) is comprised of several county agencies including a Commissioner and local law enforcement. MCRC meets at the facility on a regular basis with the offender re–entry coalition to discuss available resources for re–entry.

Evergreen Unit is comprised of 240 offenders with less than 9 months to serve. Staff in this unit work closely with entities in the community, to provide release planning, services and resources to the offenders.
