Swannanoa Valley Transitional Housing Committee & Jane's House

Swannanoa Valley Transitional Housing Committee & Jane's House Women are the fastest growing population in the prison industry. Women who are most vulnerable are without a home plan.

Each year 41% of the admissions to prison for felony crimes are recidivist, also each year 53% of the admissions to prison for misdemeanor crimes are recidivists. In 2008, then Black Mountain Correctional Center for Women, had an inmate population of 80 women. Presently Western Correctional Center for Women (WCCW) houses 365+ inmates and has the largest capacity for expansion of all women’s prison

s in the state. To have a home plan the inmate must either, own a home, or have a family member or a friend who will commit to providing shelter, or be accepted into a fee or free shelter which will commit to providing shelter for an extended period. On the day a sentence is completed an inmate without a home plan is transported to the steps of the convicting county courthouse and released. No money, no food, no clothes and now homeless. 70% of inmates released into this situation return to prison within 3 years.
