While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The Brooklyn CI, formerly the Windham County Jail, traces its roots back to 1820 when it served as both a town hall and a jail. Over the years, the institution underwent significant transformations to adapt to evolving societal needs and correctional philosophies. By the late 1800s, it had expanded its mission beyond mere incarceration, incorporating initiatives like a prison library and religious services.
In the 1940s through the 1970s, the institution faced the challenges posed by offenders convicted of various crimes, ranging from grand theft to murder. However, as societal attitudes toward rehabilitation evolved, so did the institution's approach. In 1990, a new dormitory-style facility replaced the old jail, marking a shift from a pretrial level 4 to a sentenced level 3 institution.
Today, the Brooklyn Correctional Institution stands as a level 3 medium-security facility dedicated to holding offenders accountable while offering pathways to rehabilitation and successful community reintegration. With a committed staff of 123, the institution upholds professionalism, dignity, and respect, fostering a safe and secure environment balanced with compassion for its inmate population.
Central to its mission are the extensive programming offerings aimed at equipping offenders with the tools they need for a law-abiding return to society. These programs encompass educational services, including GED, English as a Second Language, and special education, as well as vocational programs covering business education and computer skills. Additionally, the institution provides literacy volunteers, sex offender programming, anger management, and substance abuse treatment.
Beyond its walls, the Brooklyn Correctional actively engages with surrounding communities through public service projects and charitable contributions, with a particular focus on combating domestic violence. Offenders participate in outreach efforts, speaking to high school students and at-risk youth about the importance of positive decision-making and the consequences of incarceration.
Through its rich history and comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, the Brooklyn Correctional Institution remains committed to its core values of accountability, education, and community engagement. As it continues to evolve, the institution stands as a beacon of hope, offering offenders the opportunity for redemption and a second chance at a law-abiding life.
