Clallam Bay Corrections Center Overview
Clallam Bay Corrections Center, often shortened to CBCC, is operated by the Washington State Department of Corrections. It sits at 1830 Eagle Crest Way in Clallam Bay, on the northwest Olympic Peninsula. CBCC is physically inside Clallam County, but it is not a county detention center and does not appear as a normal housing option in the Clallam County jail roster. It houses sentenced adult men in DOC custody after court sentencing and state prison assignment.
The local boundary is important. Sheriff Brian King's Clallam County Sheriff's Office operates the adult county jail, while DOC operates CBCC. A new Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks, or West End arrest should be checked through the county jail information page and the Clallam County Inmate Inquiry first. CBCC becomes the correct facility only after state prison custody is involved.
The DOC facility page identifies CBCC as a prison facility with its own visitor guidelines, programs, and contact channels. The DOC contact-prisons page lists the main prison phone as 360-203-1500, Health Services as 360-203-1353, office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Eddie Reetz as Superintendent. Because DOC pages change more often than county pages, use the current DOC facility page for visiting notices, calendars, and operational updates before traveling.
CBCC is a maximum, close, and medium custody prison. The DOC 2025 fact sheet says it opened in 1985 as a 450-bed medium-custody facility at a cost of $56 million, converted to close custody in 1991, and later added a 400-bed medium-custody building. A 2021 warm closure reduced capacity after State v. Blake and COVID-era sentencing reductions, then DOC reopened medium beds as statewide sentencing increased again.
The DOC facility page for CBCC below is the primary public source for visiting links, prison-specific guidance, and facility identity.
Clallam Bay Corrections Center Capacity and Population
The 2025 DOC fact sheet lists CBCC with 677 current capacity and 900 total capacity. Its custody-level capacity is listed as 415 close custody beds, 200 medium custody beds, and 62 maximum custody beds. These are state prison figures and should not be combined with the 120-bed Clallam County Correction Facility figure, because the two facilities answer to different agencies and serve different custody stages.
The same fact sheet lists CBCC's annual operating budget at approximately $42 million and staffing at 386 total staff, with 242 custody staff and 144 support staff. It also identifies CBCC as the second largest employer in Clallam County. For a county inmate population page, CBCC should be described as an important local prison facility, but it should not be used to estimate the number of people in Clallam County jail after local arrest.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Clallam Bay Corrections Center
Use the Washington DOC incarcerated-person search for CBCC. The Clallam County Inmate Inquiry roster is for county jail bookings and will not be the correct lookup system after a person has been sentenced and transferred into DOC custody. DOC search can be used by DOC number, first name, or last name. DOC notes that special characters other than hyphens and apostrophes cannot be used in name fields.
- Open the Washington DOC incarcerated-person search, not the Clallam County jail roster.
- Enter the six-digit DOC number if known, or search by first and last name.
- Review the facility field and confirm that the person is listed at Clallam Bay Corrections Center.
- Use DOC contact channels or Washington VINE for additional status, release, or notification questions.
DOC search resources say the public locator provides selected information such as name, DOC number, and facility. Additional information may require contacting DOC and may include date of birth, commitment or release date, county jail credit time, supervision conditions, good time, legal financial obligations, and other fields when available and releasable. If the person was recently arrested in Clallam County and has not been sentenced to prison, start with the county jail roster first, then switch to DOC only after transfer into state custody is likely.
The DOC incarcerated search page is shown below and is the correct statewide locator for CBCC prisoners.
Clallam Bay Corrections Center Address and Contact
CBCC contact information should be taken from DOC sources. Use the prison's main phone for general routing and the DOC facility page for visiting notices. Health Services has a separate phone listing. Do not call the Clallam County Sheriff's Office for prison-specific visiting approvals, prison money deposits, or DOC number questions unless the issue began as a county jail booking and has not yet transferred to DOC.

Visiting Someone at Clallam Bay Corrections Center
DOC prison visits are approval-based. The DOC prison-visits page says all visitors must complete and submit an electronic visitor application, with a separate application for each proposed visitor, including adults and minors. The CBCC facility page links visitor guidelines and regular visiting hours by housing unit. Because prison event calendars, housing-unit status, and security operations can change, use the DOC CBCC page for the current schedule before leaving for Clallam Bay.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday-Friday | Apply online before scheduling | Visitor approval process |
| Housing-unit schedule | Posted by DOC/CBCC | Prison visit |
| Video visits | DOC approval required | Video visit |
| Special events | Check DOC facility calendar | Facility-specific |
| Before travel | Confirm with CBCC | Schedule and entry status |
Visitors should not assume that county jail rules apply at CBCC. A county jail visit is tied to local custody and the Clallam jail's onsite or remote video system. A DOC prison visit requires DOC approval, prison-specific identification rules, and compliance with facility guidelines. If the visitor application is incomplete or the individual is not on the approved visitor list, the trip to the prison may not result in a visit.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Clallam Bay Corrections Center
DOC money rules differ from Clallam County jail commissary rules. For CBCC, use DOC's send-money page. DOC money channels include cashier's check or money order, Securus Debit, and Western Union. Do not send cash, personal checks, or stamps. A money order or cashier's check should include the incarcerated individual's full name and six-digit DOC number. DOC also allows some money to be directed to sub-accounts such as spendable, postage, medical, education, or commissary.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use DOC/CBCC mail instructions with full name and DOC number |
| Phone / Video | DOC prison communication rules and approved visitor/video process |
| Money Deposit | Cashier's check or money order, Securus Debit, or Western Union through DOC rules |
The county Cobra kiosk and Smart Deposit instructions are for the Clallam County Correction Facility, not CBCC. For a person transferred from jail to DOC, stop using the county jacket-number process and use the DOC number instead.
Reception and Classification at Clallam Bay Corrections Center
CBCC does not perform street-arrest booking for Clallam County. A person reaches a state prison after a court sentence or DOC custody decision. The county jail may have handled the initial arrest and pretrial detention, but DOC intake and classification decide prison placement after transfer. A person can leave the Clallam County jail roster and later appear in DOC search with a state facility assignment.
Movement from local jail to prison is tied to court sentencing, commitment papers, transport, and DOC classification. A Clallam County Superior Court sentence may lead to DOC custody, but the final facility can be CBCC or another Washington prison. Search the DOC locator by DOC number or name to confirm the current facility rather than assuming a Clallam County resident or Clallam case automatically means CBCC placement. If the court case itself is the question, use the county's Case or Name Search page or the Clerk rather than the prison locator.
About Clallam Bay Corrections Center
CBCC has much more program detail in official sources than the county jail. DOC's fact sheet lists Peninsula College partnerships, Basic Skills, Highschool Plus, certificates in computer programming and mobile game design, business administration, facilities maintenance, pastry and specialty baking, intensive outpatient substance-abuse treatment, enrichment programming, cognitive behavioral classes, family-centered classes, mental health classes, food service, electricians, groundkeepers, mechanics, welder and plumbing apprentice programs, CI laundry, and recreation.
Local program details are distinctive. The facility has outdoor gardens and a greenhouse that provide produce for the food kitchen and donations to local food banks. The bee program offers beekeeping and apiary certification, and the fact sheet noted 24 beginner certificates. CBCC also has memoranda of understanding with local and regional partners, including the Clallam County Sheriff's Department, Clallam County Fire District #5, Neah Bay Department of Safety, Washington State Patrol, and U.S. Coast Guard.
Note: Confirm DOC locator status and CBCC visit approval before driving to the northwest Olympic Peninsula.
