Women Prisoners
In November 1988 thirty-two state adult female prisoners, were moved to PCC from their previous accommodation within the federal prison system in Alderson Federal Prison Camp at Alderson, West Virginia, making PCC the State of West Virginia’s first adult mixed-sex prison.
In January 2007 all female prisoners at PCC were transferred to Lakin Correctional Center, a multi-security female correctional facility located near Point Pleasant in Mason County, West Virginia constructed in 2003. PCC no longer houses female prisoners.

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or prisoners:
“I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“I never saw a man who looked
With such a wistful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
Which prisoners call the sky.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
