The South Middlesex Correctional Center (SMCC) is a small, minimum security/pre-release state prison for women located in Framingham, Massachusetts. The prison opened in 1976, originally as a part of MCI-Framingham. Today, it is its own 200-bed facility specifically for women. Most, if not all inmates work in the community during the day for an average wage of $7/day. Many work in fast food restaurants, as janitors, carpenters, or painters.
Facility description
SMCC consists of one large three-story building with a basement. The first floor is used for administrative offices, while the second and third floors are used as inmate living areas. Most rooms are double-occupancy while some house more than two women. As a minimum security/pre-release facility, SMCC is not within a secure perimeter and there are no lock-in cells. The facility is supervised and managed by the Massachusetts Department of Correction.
