Camden Community Work Center
The Camden Community-Based Facility/Community Work Center is a minimum-security facility that houses male inmates who are involved in community service. The inmates are assigned to local and state government agencies and are paid for their work. The Camden center can house a maximum of 38 inmates.
The inmates housed at Camden are classified as either "Minimum-Out" or "Minimum-Community."

Inmates classified as Minimum-Community are allowed gainful employment in the community on a full-time basis and are supervised at Camden when they're not working.
