WOMEN'S EAST REGION TRTMT CTR

WOMEN'S EAST REGION TRTMT CTR is a public school that is part of the DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS school district, located in VANDALIA, MO.

The location provided, **1101 E Hwy 54, Vandalia, MO 63382**, is not a traditional academic school. It is the address for the **Women's Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center (WERDCC)**, a high-security state prison operated by the Missouri Department of Corrections.

The facility functions primarily as the intake and diagnostic hub for all adult female offenders entering the Missouri prison system. Upon arrival, inmates undergo a comprehensive assessment process—including medical, psychological, educational, and vocational evaluations—to determine their security classification and identify the most appropriate long-term placement within the state’s correctional network.

While it is a correctional facility rather than a typical school, the center does offer educational and rehabilitative programming for its inmates. These internal programs are designed to provide incarcerated women with opportunities to earn a High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma, participate in vocational training, and engage in substance abuse or cognitive behavioral programming aimed at supporting successful reentry into society.
