In December 1989, the Wayne County Boot Camp
(WCBC) was reorganized as a special alternative incarceration unit
commonly referred to as the "boot camp." The boot camp is a highly disciplined,
military style program
combined with various treatment programs. Eligible offenders are 35 years of age
or under and convicted of non-violent crimes with sentences of
six years or less. Some inmates convicted of certain drug offenses
with a sentence not greater than 12 years may also be considered for
the boot camp. The program is
operated as minimum security.
Military training consists of drill and
ceremony, physical training, and respect for authority. Available
programs include adult basic education and pre-release. Discipline is
a vital part of this program. Inmates participate in the boot camp
program for 90 to 120 days. After successfully completing the program,
inmates are released to probation supervision.
In February 1993, the mission of the boot
camp was modified to include 50 beds for geriatric inmates. Geriatric inmates must be
55 years of age or older and be able to participate in a work
program. These inmates provide labor for community service projects
and must be minimum direct or minimum trusty custody level.
In March 1997, a 300 bed Technical Violator Center opened. In
October 2006, a new Parole Technical Violators Diversion Program
began. Inmates in this program are assigned by the Board of
Probation and Parole. Their release date is then contingent upon
successful completion of the program. This program's foundation
is therapeutic community, education and pre-release, with work being a
vital component. Inmates are involved in support jobs at the
facility and also provide labor for many community service projects.
