How Tickets Work
We know that West Virginians are already supporting their loved ones behind bars in every way they can. By submitting a ticket, community members can benefit from the advocacy and resources of the CCC.
Report an Issue
The CCC operates an easy-to-use portal where the loved ones of people incarcerated in our state can report the issues our people are facing. After submitting, community members can track the status of their ticket.
Problem-Solving
After a ticket is submitted, our community volunteers conduct individual advocacy on behalf of incarcerated people. We work with state facilities to protect the safety and dignity of people currently behind bars.
Tracking and Reporting
As we work issue by issue to secure wins for our people, the CCC will practice the transparency we hope to see in our facilities. We will track and report issues commonly impacting our people.
Need answers?
The CCC maintains a library of resources including how-to guides for navigating the grievance process, an index of current Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR) policy directives, and contact information for key officials and state facilities.
Meetings and Trainings
We know we are stronger together, and the CCC is committed to creating opportunities for us to learn from and lean on each other.
