✔ Another milestone has been achieved! Today, the Massachusetts Department of Correction announced the successful conclusion of housing operations at MCI-Concord, the state’s oldest medium-security men’s correctional facility. Amid the state’s historically low prison population and continued recidivism reductions, MCI-Concord’s conclusion of housing operations reflects the Department’s ongoing efforts to shape the future of corrections in Massachusetts by enhancing operational efficiency, advancing cost-saving solutions, and deepening investments in programming and services. “Strategically consolidating resources is not only financially prudent, but it also paves the way for operational improvements and reinvestment in the educational, vocational, and other rehabilitative services essential to successful reentry,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “I commend former Commissioner Mici, Interim Commissioner Jenkins, and their teams for their hard work in achieving this milestone and for the Department’s continued diligence in establishing a national model of corrections that promotes public safety and emphasizes rehabilitation.” 🕰 Check out these interesting historical facts about the state's oldest men's facility 🔽
