Potosi Correctional Center

Potosi Correctional Center (PCC) is located on 140 acres (0.57 km2) approximately two miles east of Potosi, Missouri and 11 Miles Northeast of Belgrade and Irondale. The first facility in the state to be built under the lease/purchase concept, it received its first inmates in February 1989. The facility was constructed and currently houses 800 capital punishment, maximum security and high-risk male inmates.

Executions

The Potosi Center conducted all but one of the 62 Missouri executions between 1989 when capital punishment was reinstated and 2005 when the execution chamber was moved 25 miles (40 km) east to the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri. Death Row prisoners are housed at Potosi until being moved to Bonne Terre shortly before their scheduled execution. [1]
