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 SBCC stands as a cutting-edge facility within the Mass DOC, encompassing 18 acres of land at the Shirley Correctional Complex. Its construction, completed in less than two years starting from November 1996, yielded a high-tech, maximum-security prison incorporating state-of-the-art technology unparalleled in the nation. The security infrastructure, managed by 42 graphic interfaced computer terminals, controls 1,705 elements including doors, lights, intercoms, and fire alarms, while a vast surveillance system with 366 cameras ensures constant monitoring.
Despite its formidable security measures, SBCC offers inmates a range of educational, vocational, and substance abuse programs aimed at rehabilitation and reintegration. Notable among these are Alternatives to Violence (AVP), Emotional Awareness and Healing, Father's Parenting Program, HIV/AIDS Education, Introduction to Treatment, Introduction to Twelve Step Programming, Menswork, Parenting/Family Services, Relapse Prevention, Self Help/Twelve Step Programs, and Toastmasters.
These programs address various aspects of inmates' lives, from conflict resolution and emotional growth to parenting skills and substance abuse recovery. HIV/AIDS education ranges from basic awareness to support groups, while Relapse Prevention equips inmates with skills to avoid high-risk situations. Self-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous provide support for those struggling with addiction. Additionally, initiatives like the Father's Parenting Program and Parenting/Family Services aim to strengthen family bonds and prepare inmates for responsible fatherhood upon release.
The range of programs reflects SBCC's commitment to holistic rehabilitation, addressing not only security concerns but also the underlying issues that contribute to criminal behavior. Through these initiatives, the facility strives to foster personal growth, reduce recidivism, and facilitate successful reintegration into society.
SBCC 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.
