Residents have a phone in their dorms. They can make phone calls between 9:00AM and 10:00PM. The phone system lets them have prepaid phone accounts, and make collect phone calls. Family and friends can give money to this phone system through the internet, the phone, or the kiosk in the Visitors Room at the WCCCC. Please visit resident's phone system page for more information.

We have many residents at the WCCCC, so we cannot allow you to make a personal phone call or leave a message. Staff may let residents know about messages that are about jobs, or are emergencies.

Center Information
A resident’s personal belongings will be kept at the WCCCC for 30 days after they leave the center. Past residents can come to the WCCCC with picture ID to pick up their personal belongings. If you want to pick up belongings for a past resident who is now at the Washington County Jail (WCJ), you will need to come to the WCCCC to get a release of property form. The resident at the WCJ must sign the property release form to let you pick up their belongings. Then the WCCCC can release (give you) the resident’s belongings if you show them approved ID. If you do not pick up the items before 30 days after the resident left the center, the property will be donated or thrown away.
