Effective Dec. 1, 2009 Anson Correctional Center becomes a minimum security unit attached to Brown Creek Correctional Institution.  Inmate mail should be sent to the Brown Creek CI mailing address.

Anson Correctional Center, near Polkton, was one of 61 field unit prisons renovated or built during the late 1930s to house inmates who worked building roads.

The prison's original dormitory remains in use. A modular dormitory was added in 1978.

The General Assembly provided another 200 bed dormitory at Anson as part of the $55 million prison construction program authorized in 1989. The new dormitory, dining hall and multipurpose building opened in 1992.

Inmates work in a number of jobs. They may be assigned to Department of Transportation road crews or to maintenance or kitchen duties at the prison. Inmates nearing parole may participate in work release, leaving the prison for the part of the day to work for a business in the community.

Anson Community College works with the prison to provide vocational classes in carpentry, cooking and brick masonry. Classes for adult education and for GED tests preparation are also available. Inmates may participate in life skills classes, religious or substance abuse treatment programs.

Visitation is on Saturdays and Sundays. The inmates visit by alphabet in accordance with their last name. Saturday A-C visits from Noon - 2 p.m. and D-J visits from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. Sunday K-R visits from Noon - 2 p.m. and S-Z visits from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. Special visits must be approved by the assistant superintendent.
