Northeast Correctional Complex (NECX) is a
time-building institution with a maximum security designation.
The facility also houses inmates of other custody
levels. Three hundred inmates are located at the minimum annex
site in Johnson County, and another 180 inmates, who are within ten
years of their eligible release date, are housed in Carter County.
NECX offers intensive substance abuse and anger management counseling programs. Both sites operate extensive
community service programs, which provide thousands of hours of
skilled and unskilled labor to state and local government, as well as
non-profit agencies in East Tennessee. A recent report shows
that NECX work crews saved taxpayers more than $100,000 in the
month of July alone.
The institution, in coordination with TRICOR, operates two industries. The Data Plant provides data entry services for other state agencies. RM Design, a hardwood flooring company, operates through the private section of the TRICOR Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program (PIE).
NECX inmates may attend Adult Basic
Education classes or one of six vocational programs. Those
who do not have a high school diploma are able to earn a GED certificate. In addition, NECX has a mandatory pre-release program for those nearing release.
NECX is accredited by the American Correctional Association.
