MR. CRAIG HILLIARD, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE IREDELL
CORRECTIONAL CENTER, REGARDING PROPOSED STATE CLOSURE OF THE
FACILITY: Craig Hilliard, the superintendent of the local prison, said he desired to speak since
the State of North Carolina had recently proposed closure of the facility. Hilliard said his unit had
a furniture school/program that had sales in 1998 of $3.2 million. He went on to say the program
worked through Catawba Valley Community College, and the inmates were given a certificate upon
completion. He said that according to a survey done by the college, 68% of the inmates completing
the training went into the trade upon prison release. Supt. Hilliard said that if a released inmate had
a way of making a living, it made the person a more productive community citizen, and it also
steered that person away from a life of crime.
