RALEIGH — As part of the new administration at Raleigh
Correctional Center for Women, Cynthia Bostic was recently named superintendent of the
minimum custody prison for adult females. She will be assisted in her new role by Bobby
Montague, newly appointed assistant superintendent of the facility. Bostic served as assistant superintendent for programs at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women for seven years before being appointed to her new position. A Sampson County native, Bostic is a 1981 graduate of Lakewood High School. She received her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from St. Augustine’s College in 1985 and recently completed the Department’s Leadership and Development program. |
Bostic began her career with the Department in 1988 as a correctional officer at NCCIW. Shortly thereafter, she took a position as a programs assistant I at RCCW, later serving as a programs assistant II and a programs supervisor before returning to NCCIW as a unit manager. She was promoted to assistant superintendent at NCCIW in 1995.
As superintendent of RCCW, Bostic will oversee a staff of 42 employees and inmate population of 144. With the addition of a new building, Bostic said the inmate population will soon increase to 190.
"As superintendent my focus will be to ensure that every able-bodied inmate is working," she said. "I certainly hope to be able to impact upon the lives of the inmates and to help prepare them to reenter the community as law-abiding citizens and to impact the lives of my staff by helping prepare them to take on leadership positions within the division."u
