Programs For Inmates
The Childersburg CBF offers educational, drug treatment, and re-entry programs that operate concurrently with the Community Work and Work Release programs.
Inmates can be assigned to work for various government agencies for paid employment. Or, they can work on the property and within the center's educational or drug treatment programs.
Childersburg has a small farm project that produces fresh produce. This project reduces the facility’s outsourcing produce order by 80%-100% in the peak harvest seasons.
Inmates in the Work Release program work for private employers in the community and are paid a prevailing wage. Work Release inmates not employed work on property or participate in work training classes through the WorkKeys Program, administered by the Central Alabama Community College.
The Childersburg Community-Based Facility/Community Work Center has a vibrant religious community that is served by a volunteer Chaplain and certified volunteers of all faiths. Structured services/programs are offered on a daily basis.
