Located at 196 Ray Brook Rd in Ray Brook, NY, ACF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. ACF 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.

Situated in the scenic Adirondack Mountains, the ACF embodies a transformative approach to incarceration. Established as Camp Adirondack with minimal security measures, the facility evolved in 1981 to accommodate a growing inmate population, necessitating enhanced security and a medium-security designation.

Today, ACF houses up to 700 individuals and employs over 310 staff dedicated to facilitating rehabilitation and reintegration. Beyond providing secure confinement, the facility offers a diverse array of programs equipping individuals with the tools they need to navigate life beyond prison walls.

Addressing substance abuse, a significant challenge for many inmates, ACF implements comprehensive treatment programs for both alcohol and drug dependence. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of rehabilitation, the facility goes beyond these programs to offer anger management, guidance, and counseling services. These interventions aim to address underlying issues and equip participants with coping mechanisms for the future.

Furthermore, ACF recognizes the importance of fostering positive family connections crucial for successful reintegration. Through family development programs, the facility encourages and strengthens familial bonds, providing inmates with vital support networks upon release.

Acknowledging the transformative power of education, ACF offers both academic and vocational programs. Inmates gain valuable skills in diverse areas, ranging from custodial maintenance and carpentry to waste management practices. Notably, the waste management program not only instills environmentally conscious practices but also generates cost savings for taxpayers.

Beyond skills development, ACF fosters personal growth through recreational programs, religious services, and access to library resources. These opportunities enable positive engagement and intellectual stimulation, enriching the lives of individuals during their incarceration.

Recognizing the unique needs of specific populations, ACF implements specialized programs such as sex offender treatment and trauma programs, addressing distinct challenges and facilitating healing for these individuals.

Preparing inmates for release is an integral part of the rehabilitation process. ACF employs transitional services programs and temporary release programs to bridge the gap between incarceration and community life. These programs ease the transition and enhance the likelihood of successful reintegration into society.

Additionally, ACF acknowledges the complexities faced by veterans and offers dedicated services to support those who have served their country, ensuring they receive the specific aid they deserve.

Finally, ACF promotes a sense of community and responsibility through volunteer services and programs. By contributing to the broader community, inmates gain valuable experiences and cultivate positive connections that extend beyond the prison walls.

The Adirondack Correctional Facility's transformation from a minimally secured camp to a comprehensive rehabilitation hub reflects a commitment to positive change. By offering a diverse range of programs and support services, ACF empowers individuals, fosters personal growth, and equips them with the skills and support needed to successfully reintegrate into society.
