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 SMCC is a 200-bed facility catering to minimum-status and pre-release female inmates within the Department of Correction. Originally established for inmates with Pre-release status, SMCC transitioned to its current location in August 1981. It underwent expansion in 1990 to include a minimum-security unit. The facility's mission has always prioritized public safety while offering rehabilitative opportunities for inmate reintegration into society.
As an all-female facility since July 2002, SMCC comprises a three-story building with administrative offices on the first floor and inmate living quarters on the upper levels. Inmates generally share double-occupancy rooms, with some singles or multi-occupancy rooms available. Unlike secure facilities, SMCC lacks lock-in cells, emphasizing its focus on minimum security and pre-release programs.
SMCC's work-release program enables inmates to hold jobs in the surrounding community, contributing to their reintegration process. These inmates receive compensation, with a portion contributed to the Massachusetts General Fund to cover room and board expenses. Additionally, minimum status inmates engage in various roles within the facility or supervised community work, earning a daily stipend.
Several programs are available at SMCC to support inmate rehabilitation and family connections. These include Aid to Incarcerated Mothers, DSS Visit Coordination, Fully Alive Program, Girl Scouts Beyond Bars, Greenhouse and/or Garden Program, Parenting/Family Services, Self Help/Twelve Step Programs, Steps to Recovery, Teacher Assistance Program, and the Women's Visiting Cottage. These programs address a range of needs from spiritual growth to parenting education, substance abuse treatment, and community engagement.
SMCC's commitment to inmate rehabilitation is evident in its diverse program offerings and collaborative efforts with volunteers and external organizations. These initiatives aim to foster positive behavioral change, support family relationships, and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society.
SMCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
