Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center

The Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center is a high-security prison for male offenders located in Uncasville, Connecticut. Operated by the Connecticut Department of Correction, the facility plays a vital role in the state’s correctional system. It serves as both a Level 3 medium-security and Level 4 high-security institution, housing both sentenced and pretrial detainees.

The prison was first opened on December 30, 1994, as the Corrigan Correctional Institution. Over the years, it merged with the Radgowski Correctional Institution in 2001 to improve management and streamline operations. The combined complex now accommodates up to 1,528 inmates, making it one of the larger facilities in the Connecticut correctional network.

The facility supports several surrounding communities, including the superior courts in Danielson, New London, Norwich, and Windham. It offers an array of programs aimed at rehabilitation, including educational classes, anger management courses, addiction services, and community service activities. Special monitoring units are also in place for gang-affiliated individuals, with programs focused on cultural awareness and breaking the cycle of gang involvement.

Visitation at the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center follows a structured and secure schedule. As of January 8, 2024, both in-person and video visits are available for inmates. General population in-person visits are one hour long and do not require scheduling, though they are organized based on the odd or even last digit of the inmate’s identification number. 

Additionally, video visitations, lasting 45 minutes, require pre-scheduling at least 72 hours in advance. Visitors are encouraged to check the Connecticut Department of Correction’s website for up-to-date guidelines and procedures.
