Which facilities house which populations and security levels
Delaware facilities vary widely in who they house and what custody level they operate. Confirm the correct location before making plans. James T. Vaughn Correctional Center (JTVCC) is a Level 5 (prison) facility for men located near Smyrna, Delaware, in southern New Castle County. It's the state's largest adult male correctional facility, housing approximately 2,500 inmates. Sussex Correctional Institution (SCI) shows why details matter: SCI houses maximum, medium, and minimum security inmates, all male. If you're unsure which facility your loved one is assigned to, get that confirmed first. The facility and unit can affect visiting schedules and other rules.
