Governor Perdue Makes an On-Site Accountability Visit to Pasquotank Correctional Institute

Gov. Bev Perdue today made an unannounced visit to the Pasquotank Correctional Institute in Elizabeth City. During her 45-minute visit, she was shown the close custody section of the prison, the vocational unit, and she spoke at length with prison staff members.

"My visit to Pasquotank Correctional Institute gave me the opportunity to see first hand the work our correctional officers and other staff do to protect the public's safety. This is one area, like all the segments of our public safety system, in which nothing less than the highest standards must be maintained," said Perdue.

The visit was a follow up on Gov. Perdue's pledge to make on-site accountability inspections of state agencies across North Carolina.
