DE DOC-Plummer Community Corrections Center (PCCC)

You can support your loved ones at PCCC on InmateAid, if you have any immediate questions contact the facility directly at 302-761-2800.

The PCCC is overseen by the Delaware Department of Corrections and consists of six community-based programs that supervise both pre-sentenced and sentenced offenders, prioritizing public safety and cost-effective alternatives to incarceration. Working in collaboration with the Department's Work Release Center, located at 38 Todds Ln Wilmington, DE, and other criminal justice agencies, the division oversees thousands of offenders in the community.

PCCC is a multi-faceted facility that currently manages and supervises male and female offenders who are participating in traditional work release (WR), Crest (substance abuse treatment), and the Intensive Community Supervision Program (ICSP). PCCC also employs a corps of offenders, at an established wage structure, as workers for the facility. These workers are placed in jobs that offer skills training, cultivate good work habits, utilize existing talent to benefit the DOC, foster social appropriateness, and teach responsibility. They provide support to Department staff in the areas of food service, maintenance, telephone operations, housekeeping/janitorial, groundskeeping, and laundry service for residents.

PCCC also operates community work projects that provide service to the local community, including clean-up, small repairs and other supervised work. Newly received work release offenders in the orientation phase and weekenders are assigned to community service projects. A typical weekender is serving time for DUI or under Family Court commitment. They remain at PCCC from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 6:00 p.m. Sunday. This is done to teach offenders responsibility and provide a measure of reparation to the community.

Work Release

Work Release provides a structured program that allows gradual transition from prison life to full-time living in the community and diversion options for the courts. This program presents an opportunity and means for the reintegration of offenders through participation in work, education, court-mandated and voluntary treatment, training, and skills-building and counseling programs, while the Department maintains the safety of the public.

An offender enters the work release program by order of a court or is classified to participate by DOC officials. Offenders normally stay in work release for less than one year, with an average stay of four to six months. Work release participants typically work for private employers. They must display pro-social behaviors such as honesty, responsibility and accountability. Random substance abuse testing is mandatory throughout their stay at PCCC. While employed full-time, offenders must pay a $25 per week room and board fee and $25 toward any court obligations that include costs, fines, child support and victim compensation. Persons working part-time pay $15 per week for the same obligations.

Through an established "Phase System" (Phase I - VI), offenders are permitted to spend time with an approved host, attend worship service, take care of personal shopping, etc. As they progress through the phases, they are granted increased freedom and responsibility. Routine and random curfew checks are conducted and occasional home visits.

Intensive Community Supervision Program (ICSP) - This program is responsible for supervising offenders in the community while they are awaiting space at a Level IV program. This program also supervises offenders convicted for certain motor vehicle offenses such as DUI and traditional work release offenders who live at home. Offenders are required to check in with their probation officers at PCCC a minimum of three times a week. They must maintain the established curfew and submit to random urine screens throughout their supervision. Additionally, probation officers make random field/home visits as part of the stepped-up supervision regimen.
