Community Involvement

Stafford Creek inmates participate in various activities that support the community.

Volunteer Programs

Volunteers are instrumental in assisting in the development of programs aimed at promoting positive changes in personal growth and successful reintegration to society. The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program puts together fundraisers for community charity groups such as the Connections, formerly Children's Advocacy Center of Grays Harbor, Coastal Community Action Program, Habitat for Humanity, and the Grays Harbor Food Bank Distribution Center.

Giving Back to the Community

The Grays Harbor Lions Club works with Bicycles from Heaven to donate like-new bikes to the community. Inmates receive old bikes and bike parts, refurbish them, and donate them to the Lions Club for distribution to individuals in need. Over 1,000 bikes have been distributed throughout Grays Harbor County to date.

Inmates also participate in outreach efforts, such as crocheting hats and blankets and donating them to community like the United Gospel Mission of Grays Harbor, the nursery at the local hospital, and the United Way of Grays Harbor Coat & Blanket Drive. Through Toy Time, inmates make toys to donate to the community for children during the holidays. These donations go to the Children's Advocacy Center of Grays Harbor and the Christmas for Kids in Grays Harbor program.

Art in Public Places

The Art in Public Places (AIPP) program facilitates the acquisition, placement, and stewardship of artwork in state-funded building projects throughout Washington. The Washington State Legislature established the AIPP program in 1974 to acquire artwork for educational institutions and state agencies, funded by ½ of 1 percent of the state’s portion of construction costs. Today, the State Art Collection includes more than 4,700 artworks.

Superintendent Scott Speer

Scott Speer began his career with the department in 1987 at McNeil Island Corrections Center (MICC) as a Correctional Officer, where he worked in the Segregation unit and was an active member of the McNeil Island Corrections Center Emergency Response Team. Scott contributed to staff development by facilitating Control Tactics and First Aid classes. He promoted to a Correctional Sergeant in 1992 at Olympic Corrections Center (OCC) and has worked through the ranks of Correctional Unit Supervisor, Correctional Lieutenant, and was promoted to Correctional Program Manager in 2018. Scott served as the Superintendent at OCC for 2 years until stepping into the role of Interim Superintendent of Stafford Creek Corrections Center (SCCC) in November 2024, bringing with him his 37 years of experience in corrections. During this time, he has reestablished programs, security routines and community relationships.

Throughout his career in corrections, Scott has been actively involved in restoring pre-COVID-19 programs and has led numerous committees focused on emergency management and facility safety. He has been a long-standing member of the statewide Emergency Management Committee, participating and leading Critical Incident Reviews and Emergency Management audits. Scott was also an original member of the Statewide Security Advisory Committee.

Scott is largely responsible for developing key relationships with the local law enforcement agencies and the surrounding community to include working closely with WA Department of Natural Resources (DNR) emergency response. Scott maintains a people-centered focus, working closely with staff and assisting the population for successful reentry. Scott's collaborative approach and commitment to staff development and community relationships will ensure stability at SCCC.
