Pamlico Correctional Institution opened in 1998 as a private prison owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America. In October 2000 the Department of Correction assumed operational management.

The segregation unit has 24 single cells for administrative or disciplinary segregation. The protective custody unit has 24 cells.

Pamlico Correctional Institution is committed to the mission of the North Carolina Department of Correction. Our primary objective is to protect the public. We prepare inmates for transition and re-entry by providing educational and personal growth opportunities. Pamlico Community College provides a variety of courses. Vocational classes include Electrical Wiring, Masonry, Carpentry, Re-upholstery, Plumbing, Horticulture, and Information Systems. Adult Basic Education and GED classes prepare inmates for the General Education Diploma. Rehabilitation and treatment programs include Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Napoleon Hill, Anger Management, and Thinking for a Change.
