Located at 181 Brand Rd in Malone, NY, BHCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. BHCF offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

BHCF is a medium-security prison that offers more than just secure confinement; it provides inmates with opportunities to build valuable skills and contribute meaningfully to society, stands out for its focus on rehabilitation and community engagement.

One of the hallmarks of BHCF is its robust work program. Nearly every inmate participates in work assignments, both within the facility and beyond its walls. This commitment to work goes beyond providing inmates with wages and purpose; it also fosters a sense of responsibility and prepares them for successful reintegration upon release.

But BHCF doesn't stop at employment training. Vocational programs equip inmates with marketable skills in diverse fields like electrical work, computer technology, and masonry. Whether learning to lay bricks or repair engines, individuals gain hands-on experience that can pave the way for future employment opportunities.

The spirit of giving back extends beyond individual skill development. BHCF actively involves inmates in social programs that benefit the surrounding community. These initiatives not only instill a sense of social responsibility but also create meaningful connections between the prison and the community it serves.

From technical training to community engagement, BHCF strives to transform its residents from individuals confined by their past into individuals empowered by their future. By fostering skill development, a work ethic, and a sense of community, BHCF aims to be more than just a prison; it aims to be a bridge to a brighter future for both its inmates and the society they will rejoin.
