On December 12-13, 2018 the CIC will be conducting an onsite inspection of FCI McDowell a medium-security men’s prison in Welch, West Virginia. FCI McDowell currently houses 122 DC residents.

The CIC has published a new inspection report on USP Florence ADMAX as well as, the Federal Bureau of Prison's (BOP) response to the CIC inspection report.

The CIC is mandated to inspect and monitor the correctional facilities where DC residents are incarcerated, including DC Department of Corrections facilities in the District and over 100 Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities across the country.

The Corrections Information Council (CIC) and The Public Defender Service’s Community Defender Division: Prisoner & Reentry Legal Services Program (PDS) held the 2018 DC Prisoner and Reentry Symposium: Envisioning a New Jail. 

Following CIC visit to Hazelton FCC on October 3, the CIC sends a letter addressing some observations and recommendations based on the October 3rd visit and information from others since the CIC visit.

The CIC has accomplished much in the last two fiscal years. View the 2017 CIC Annual Report, the 2016 CIC Annual Report, and other annual reports to learn more about the work of the CIC.
