Originally constructed beginning in 1900, Plummer Community Corrections Center is DOC's oldest community corrections facility, housing male offenders who are sentenced to Level IV community corrections supervision. Individuals housed at PCCC may be classified to participate in the traditional work release program by seeking jobs in the community. They may also be employed by the DOC as on-site workers in the areas of food service, maintenance, housekeeping/janitorial, grounds keeping, and laundry service, or they may be assigned to DOC Road Crews to conduct roadway and park clean up, snow removal, and other supervised work activities. The facility may also house individuals ordered to Level 4 DOC custody on weekends for DUI or under Family Court commitment.

Work Release
Work Release provides a structured program that presents an opportunity and means for reintegration through participation in work and through participation in DOC-facilitated training, skill building, and counseling programs.

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 less than one year, with the 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 weekly for the same obligations.
