Lincoln Correctional Center is a medium security
prison housing 202 adult inmates.
Built in 1939, Lincoln was one of 61 field unit prisons renovated or built
during the late 1930’s to house inmates who worked building roads.
The prison’s original dormitory is still in use today. The General Assembly
provided a dormitory at Lincoln as part of the $10 million South Piedmont
Consent Decree construction program in 1985. Work was completed in 1987 on the
dormitory, a multipurpose building, recreation building and a Correction
Enterprise shirt plant. In June 1987, was converted to a medium security prison
for adult males.
Lincoln operates a Correction Enterprise sewing plaint. The plant makes various
clothing and linen items for inmates. The plant employs two Correction
Enterprises staff that supervises 23 inmates. The facility also provides for the
Enterprise Furniture Plant in Statesville.
Lincoln supplies five Department of Transportation road squads working in
Catawba, Lincoln, Gaston, Cleveland, and Mecklenburg counties.
Visitation is on Sundays from 12:00 noon – 2:00 p.m. (A-L) and 2:30 p.m.

The prison has 90 employees.
