Adult Secure Overview

Cornell provides low to maximum-security incarceration services for federal, state and local government agencies. We ensure public safety through the operation of a secure environment which includes, among other security and safety measures, professional correctional guards, alarmed fencing, razor wire and centralized monitoring via closed circuit camera systems.

Cornell provides a variety of educational, counseling and
vocational programs aimed at providing a successful transition of inmates back into the community. Group and individual counseling is available for issues such as substance abuse and addiction, victim awareness and anger management. We provide extensive training in diverse employment and life skill areas including computers and job training opportunities, decision-making, personal hygiene, parenting, banking, budgeting and money management. By helping the men and women in our institutions learn these valuable life skills, these individuals are more likely to become responsible citizens and less likely to relapse into criminal behavior.
