Marcy Correctional Facility is a medium-security state prison for males in Marcy, Oneida County, New York.[1] To some extent Marcy specializes in providing alcohol and drug treatment programs. All of Marcy is on one level; there are no stairs, making it especially suitable for disabled prisoners. It also has a higher-than-average number of vocational programs. One building was built with "classrooms" for lessons in how to clean an office and a toilet (with working toilet), lay bricks, repair electrical devices, and the like.
The prison is co-located with the Central New York Psychiatric Center, where incarcerated prisoners from state and local jurisdictions can be held and treated, and the Mid-State Correctional Facility. Marcy and the psychiatric center share a fence, with a guarded gate. Midstate and Marcy are on opposite sides of the highway, and as both are set back from the road, it is easily 1⁄4 mile (0.25 miles (0.40 km)) between the two prisons' gates. The Psychiatric Center houses sex offenders civilly committed.[2]
