The inmates housed at Osborn CI located at 335 Bilton Rd in Somers, CT 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.

Osborn Correctional Institution - Inmate Programs

The Osborn CI is a medium-security institution that houses one of the largest inmate populations of the correctional facilities in the state. The Institution, formerly known as the Connecticut Correctional Institution-Somers, was opened in November of 1963 as a replacement for the Old Wethersfield State Prison. It served as the state's maximum-security prison and as the Reception/Diagnostic Center for incoming male inmates statewide. The physical plant is located on 550 acres adjacent to the Northern Correctional Institution. The facility operates under the Unit Management System. Under this model, an assigned Unit Manager directs all the functions of their assigned units. There are 17 inmate-housing units each with its own specific institutional function. The Unit Management System enhances safety and security by limiting inmate mass movement and providing for controlled movement during the daily institutional routines. The facility supports an inpatient medical hospital, a mental health unit, a comprehensive education program, an inpatient Addiction Services unit, and one of the largest Correctional Industries Program in the state.

  • The Enterprise Program currently employees more than 200 inmates who manufacture inmate clothing, mattresses and run a full-service print shop.
  • The facility is one of three in the state which also provides trained, offender, hospice volunteers who provide end of life care to fellow inmates.
  • The Execution Enclosure, where a sentence of capital punishment is carried out is located at this facility.
