While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The CRCI stands as a level 3 medium-security facility, prioritizing rehabilitation and education for sentenced offenders within its confines. Named after Carl Robinson, the institution pays homage to his legacy as the first African American warden appointed in Connecticut, known for his service at the Somers State Prison and the Cheshire Reformatory.
Since its opening on November 8, 1985, the Robinson Correctional has been situated on the historic grounds of a Shaker farm community dating back to 1792. Over the years, it has evolved to accommodate changing needs and practices within the correctional system. In January of 1990, with the adoption of a new Inmate Objective Classification System, the facility's security level transitioned to medium-security, reflecting a nuanced approach to inmate management.
Programming at Robinson Correctional Institution is comprehensive, addressing various needs and interests of the inmate population. From intensive in-patient substance abuse treatment to a diverse array of educational and vocational offerings such as culinary arts, machine tooling, and small engine repair, the institution is committed to equipping inmates with valuable skills for successful reintegration into society.
Beyond its internal programming, the institution actively engages with the surrounding community through initiatives like the Town of Enfield Adopt A Spot program and various community service projects benefiting municipalities and non-profit organizations. Additionally, Robinson Correctional Institution supports local agencies by providing printing services for flyers and related materials, fostering a sense of partnership and contribution.
Throughout its history, the facility has undergone structural changes to adapt to evolving needs. Building 7, initially repurposed for use by the Judicial Department as a juvenile facility in 1996, was eventually returned to the institution's jurisdiction in 1997 to serve as a housing unit for outside clearance inmates. Despite its subsequent closure in 2008, these adjustments reflect the institution's ongoing commitment to operational flexibility and responsiveness to changing circumstances.
With a present staffing complement of 311 dedicated professionals, the Carl Robinson Correctional Institution continues its mission to provide a secure environment conducive to rehabilitation and personal growth, honoring its namesake's legacy while striving for excellence in service to the community and the incarcerated population alike.
