Located at 18 Strack Dr in Beacon, NY, Fishkill CF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Fishkill 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.
Fishkill CF encompasses multiple security levels within its compound, serving diverse inmate populations and offering various programs. Originally established in 1896 as the Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Fishkill now operates as a multi-security level prison, accommodating approximately 1,800 inmates.
The facility houses minimum security inmates engaged in work release programs, medium-security inmates in the general population, and maximum security inmates, including those under disciplinary segregation in the S-Block Special Housing Unit. Additionally, Fishkill functions as the Regional Medical Unit for southern New York's prisons, providing healthcare services to inmates.
In 1998, Fishkill expanded its capacity with the addition of a maximum security S-Block Special Housing Unit designed to accommodate 200 inmates under disciplinary segregation. Educational opportunities at Fishkill include Pre-GED, GED, ESL, and college degree programs offered through partnerships with institutions like Bard Prison Initiative and Nyack College. Vocational programs, such as Commercial Arts, Welding, and Metal Fabrication, provide inmates with real-world skills and experience.
Fishkill's Corcraft Industries division, known as Fishkill Specialty Steel, offers inmates the chance to engage in welding and metal fabrication, producing various steel products for schools, prisons, healthcare facilities, and government agencies. The facility's participation in the Puppies Behind Bars program allows inmates to raise puppies to become guide dogs and service dogs for individuals with disabilities and wounded soldiers.
The Corcraft Program at Fishkill employs inmates to manufacture furniture and specialty items for sale to state and local governments, including beds, chairs, computer furniture, security doors, and windows. This program provides valuable vocational training and opportunities for inmates to contribute to society while incarcerated.
Fishkill Correctional Facility has gained attention for its innovative programs, including the Puppies Behind Bars initiative, which was featured in a segment filmed by Oprah Winfrey. Through its diverse offerings and partnerships, Fishkill aims to provide inmates with education, vocational training, and meaningful opportunities for personal growth and rehabilitation.
Fishkill 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.
