Death Row
The Potosi Correctional Center (PCC), which opened in 1989, houses male death row inmates. In April 1989 the state transferred its 70 death row inmates from Jefferson City Correctional Center (JCCC, originally Missouri State Penitentiary) to Potosi. At some point after the move, MDOC stopped using the word "death row," believing it to be negative, and began referring to death row prisoners as ""capital punishment" (CP) inmates."
