The facility is fortified with razor wire fencing and manned by mounted guards for added security.

Originally serving as a tuberculosis sanitarium and later as a youth training facility, Otisville Correctional Facility now offers various programs and vocational training for its inmates. Among these initiatives is the unique "Puppies Behind Bars" program, allowing inmates to train dogs. Educational opportunities include GED attainment and college courses facilitated by John Jay College, thanks to private funding. Additionally, inmates can access substance abuse treatment and life skills training through programs like the Compadre Helper Program.

Vocational training programs at Otisville encompass small engine repair, horticulture, building maintenance, and masonry, empowering inmates with valuable skills for potential employment upon release. The prison's sawmill operation and maple syrup production provide work opportunities for inmates within the facility's grounds, supported by mounted guards overseeing the extensive perimeter.

Notably, the facility houses individuals from various backgrounds, including public figures like Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from MTV's "Jersey Shore," who is serving time for tax evasion.
