This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Hoke CI located at 243 Old Hwy 211 in Raeford, NC are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

Hoke Correctional Institution is located on Old Highway 211 west in Raeford, North Carolina. It is a minimum custody prison that houses 502 adult male offenders.
