Located at 639 Exchange St in Attica, NY, Attica CF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Attica CF 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.
Attica Correctional Facility stands as a towering symbol within the New York prison system. Its imposing maximum-security walls house close to 2,000 male inmates, many with disciplinary histories. This notoriety extends beyond its inmate population, as Attica served as the stage for a tragic prison uprising in 1971 that resulted in 43 deaths.
However, the narrative of Attica goes beyond its security measures and past events. Beyond the walls, individuals strive for rehabilitation and seek to build better futures. Inmates can access vocational training in diverse fields, from construction trades to printing and even television repair. Specialized counseling programs for veterans, alongside substance abuse and sex offender treatment, address individual needs and pave the way for positive change.
Attica has housed some of the most notorious criminals in history, names like David Berkowitz, Mark David Chapman, and Colin Ferguson. Their presence underscores the facility's complex purpose – to manage high-risk individuals while offering opportunities for growth and transformation. Some, like Berkowitz, have found new paths, while others continue to grapple with the consequences of their actions.
Yet, within these walls, stories of resilience and redemption also exist. Valentino Dixon, wrongly convicted and incarcerated for 26 years, found his freedom after evidence pointed to another perpetrator. Such stories represent the potential for second chances, even within the confines of maximum security.
The future of Attica remains intertwined with its past. Its history informs its present practices, emphasizing the need for both security and rehabilitation. As individuals like Dixon prove, transformation is possible, and Attica, beyond its imposing facade, plays a role in fostering positive change for some of society's most challenged individuals.
Attica CF 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.
