Communication is important, the prison offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
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 facility comprises nine cell blocks, six of which contain sixty cells each, and three with thirty cells each. An additional sixty-cell modular unit was added in May 1990 to accommodate the consistently high daily count. Despite some double-bunking, the facility maintains a secure perimeter consisting of a fourteen-foot double chain-link fence topped with razor wire. State-of-the-art motion detectors, integrated into a microwave system, further enhance security by alerting personnel to intruders passing between the fences.
Reflecting its historical significance, OCCC's housing units are named after Revolutionary War heroes like William Dawes and Crispus Attucks, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. Additionally, the facility hosts the Old Colony Correctional Center Minimum Unit, a level 3 secured facility that was previously overseen by Southeastern Correctional Center until its closure in July 2002.
