Located at 594 Route 216 in Stormville, NY, GHCF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. GHCF 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.
GHCF, a maximum-security prison in Dutchess County overseen by the New York State Department of Corrections, previously served as New York's execution chamber during the state's brief period with the death penalty. While the electric chair "Old Sparky" from Sing Sing Correctional Facility was relocated here, it was never utilized for executions. Originally a federal prison, GHCF now exclusively houses maximum-security inmates.
Notably, GHCF operates a Hot Kosher Food Program, leading to a substantial Jewish population within the facility. Additionally, the Green Haven Prison Project, facilitated by Yale Law School, organizes seminars for Yale law students and GHCF inmates to discuss law and policy issues related to prisons and criminal law.
With a capacity of around 2,200 inmates, GHCF offers participation in the Correctional Industries program, allowing inmates to work in an upholstery shop and furniture manufacturing. Inmates have access to educational opportunities, including adult basic education, GED programs, and the potential to earn associate's and bachelor's degrees.
Vocational courses at GHCF cover a range of skills such as barbering, computer technologies and repair, custodial and building maintenance, electrical work, printing, painting, and small engine repair. Substance abuse treatment programs and initiatives like "alternatives to violence" are available to inmates, fostering positive changes in their lives and aiding in rehabilitation efforts.
GHCF 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.
