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 Women's Center, a medium to minimum security state institution, accommodates approximately 147 adult female inmates and serves as the primary reception center for assessing and diagnosing many individuals for the Maine Department of Corrections (ME DOC).

The facility offers a range of services tailored to meet the needs of its residents, including various worship services catering to different religions. Additionally, the Chaplain's Office provides counseling, grief support, and other programs aimed at supporting the well-being of the inmates.

While incarcerated at the Women's Center, offenders have the opportunity to pursue educational goals such as earning a GED, as well as participating in a variety of vocational courses.

The mission of the Women's Center is to reduce recidivism and promote accountability among female offenders by employing evidence-based and gender-informed practices. Recognizing the impact of trauma on the pathways to incarceration for women, the center aims to provide educational and vocational opportunities that address individual needs and foster personal growth during incarceration.
