Located at 555 Devils Den Rd in Altona, NY, Altona Correctional Facility carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Altona Correctional Facility 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.
Altona CF holds a unique history. Its central administrative and school building used to be the Altona Central School, adding a personal touch for some corrections officers who might have walked its halls as children. But today, Altona serves a different purpose, offering opportunities for growth and rehabilitation to its incarcerated residents.
One way Altona empowers individuals is through vocational training. Inmates can gain valuable skills in custodial and building maintenance, learning skills applicable both within the facility and upon release. Drafting programs further equip them with technical knowledge, increasing their employability options.
However, Altona recognizes that rehabilitation goes beyond job skills. Inmates can access alcohol and substance abuse treatment programs, confronting harmful dependencies and paving the way for healthier lives. The facility also takes a family-oriented approach, offering programs that teach parental skills and provide individual and family counseling. These initiatives strengthen family bonds and prepare inmates for successful reintegration into their communities.
Beyond its focus on individuals, Altona demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility. An inmate-led waste processing program diverts tons of material from landfills each year through composting and recycling. This initiative not only saves taxpayer dollars but also instills a sense of environmental awareness in participants.
From its historic beginnings to its innovative programs, Altona Correctional Facility exemplifies a shift in correctional philosophy. By focusing on skills development, addiction recovery, and family support, Altona empowers individuals to build brighter futures for themselves and the communities they will rejoin.
Altona Correctional Facility 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.
