Mid-State Correctional Facility, situated between Rome and Utica in New York State, occupies the grounds formerly housing a state asylum from 1912 to 1982. Initially designed to accommodate 3,000 patients, the facility transitioned into a correctional institution in 1983, utilizing the extensive former hospital buildings. Over the years, Mid-State has expanded to include the maximum security SHU-200, known as "S" blocks, opened in 1998, featuring prisoners living in cells with bunk beds and outdoor porches enclosed by fences, despite being classified as a medium-security prison.
Spanning over 1,000 acres of land, Mid-State provides numerous employment opportunities in New York, boasting a mix of historic structures dating back to the 1920s and modern facilities. The new buildings, such as the medical building and the "S" block, maintain the original red brick aesthetic. The facility includes a vast recreation yard with amenities like a racquetball court, basketball court, football field, and gym, frequented by inmates. Inmates are also responsible for various outdoor maintenance tasks, including city cleanup and lawn care for churches in Oneida Co., facilitated through supervised prison bus outings.
Mid-State Correctional has housed notable inmates like Gerald Garson, a former New York Supreme Court Justice convicted of accepting bribes, and hip-hop artists Chinx Drugz, Cormega, and Prodigy. Additionally, Dennis Kozlowski, former CEO of Tyco International, and Alan Hevesi, former Comptroller of the State of New York, convicted of bribery, have been incarcerated there. Jeffrey Atkins, known as Ja Rule, a rapper and actor with over 40 million records sold worldwide, was also arrested for gun and drug possession charges in July 2007.
Furthermore, Mid-State offers various programs to support incarcerated individuals, covering alcohol and substance abuse treatment, anger management, educational and vocational initiatives, family development, guidance and counseling, library services, recreational activities, religious services, sex offender treatment, temporary release, trauma support, transitional services, veterans support, and volunteer opportunities. These programs aim to address the diverse needs of inmates and facilitate their rehabilitation and reintegration into society upon release.
MSCF 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.
