Our Story
Our Vision
Our Core Values
The Center for Correctional Concerns was established in 1979 by Sister Vivian Whitehead, O.S.F. CCC's initial vision recognized the need for GED Education and Library Services for the inmates. Programs were added and expanded to serve the needs of the detainees.
CCC provides connections with other social service agencies, attorneys, families, specialty courts, churches, homeless shelters, and treatment centers.
Our Mission
CCC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) social service agency located within the Will County Adult Detention Facility (WCADF). Our goals are to motivate, inspire, and assist the incarcerated. We offer numerous programs aiming to meet their needs while fostering a smooth reentry back into society and strengthening their ability to contribute to Will County and beyond. We encourage the will to thrive rather than simply survive.
Respect, flexibility, availability, ethics, integrity, commitment, diversity, problem solving, confidentiality, service, client focus and ministry of presence are at the heart of CCC's core concepts.
