Work, Education, and ABEL Programs at Warren Correctional Institution (soap plant, GED, service dogs)
Warren Correctional Institution offers a few main programming options: work at a Correction Enterprises soap and cleaning-products plant, education and vocational courses toward a HiSet/GED, and the ABEL service-dog training program. Here's what the facility page tells us about each.
People incarcerated at Warren CI may work at the Correction Enterprises Janitorial Products Plant, which manufactures soap and cleaning products. The plant was relocated to Warren from Harnett Correctional Institution.
This isn't just busywork. The facility presents it as a chance to build marketable job skills and self-confidence through hands-on manufacturing experience.
Warren CI offers vocational training and educational courses toward a HiSet/GED. If your loved one wants to make their time count - whether that means learning a trade, finishing school, or both - these are the pathways the facility specifically highlights.
Warren CI also offers the At Both Ends of the Leash (ABEL) program. Through ABEL, participants train service animals for people with medical diagnoses or physical disabilities. It's a structured program with a clear purpose: preparing service dogs for individuals who need them.
About ABEL: Participants train service animals for individuals with medical diagnoses or physical disabilities.
A bit of history: the janitorial products plant was constructed by participants in the Inmate Construction Program, working under supervision from Central Engineering.
