Stevens Correctional Center and Jail

Stevens Correctional Center began its life in 2001 when the McDowell County Economic Development Authority purchased the former Stevens Clinic Hospital for the purpose of renovating the structure for use as a medium security correctional center. Stevens Correctional Center was completely renovated in compliance with Federal and State standards and in 2006, under the administration of the McDowell County Commission, began housing inmates in the custody of the West Virginia Division of Corrections.

In July 2025, Stevens Correctional Center officially became a full state facility owned and operated by the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation. 

The facility houses a maximum capacity of 332 inmates. ​
