Dogwood
The Dogwood housing unit has seven sections and can house 82 inmates at capacity.
Section A
This section consists of five, camera-equipped cells that allow officers to monitor occupants 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This section has a capacity for up to 10 inmates, two per cell. The cells are used for anything from inmates who have been issued a temporary restraining order or have been given administrative segregation due to behavior.
Sections B
This is a short-stay dorm section. Inmates may be held here for a night or several nights prior to a Board of Pardons and Parole hearing, being moved to a county jail or being brought from a county jail to the prison for such reasons as medical or dental treatment. This section contains four bunks, eight inmates at capacity. Because inmates are here for short-term stays, they do not have the ability to engage in programming or recreation.

This section houses inmates, new to prison or back on a parole violation, who are going through the Receiving & Orientation process. These inmates are closely monitored while they go through this process. During this time, they are seen by Medical, Dental, Mental health and Case managers. Once they are classified they wait in this section for their housing assignments. This section can house 20 inmates, two per cell.
Section E
