Massachusetts Treatment Center

The Massachusetts Treatment Center, located at 30 Administration Road in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, is a medium-security prison facility within the Bridgewater Correctional Complex.

Managed by the Massachusetts Department of Correction, this unique institution houses both state prison inmates convicted of sex crimes and individuals civilly committed as sexually dangerous under Massachusetts law. With a stated capacity of 665 inmates, the center plays a critical role in maintaining public safety through rehabilitation and specialized treatment.

History traces the origins of the Massachusetts Treatment Center back to its establishment as a facility focused on addressing sexual offenses. Its dual purpose is distinct—providing incarceration for criminal convictions while offering court-ordered treatment for individuals deemed a risk to public safety. The objective is to foster rehabilitation, helping inmates take meaningful steps toward eventual reintegration into society.

The facility emphasizes comprehensive rehabilitation programs, which include educational offerings and therapy designed to address the behaviors at the root of offending. This approach aligns with the center’s broader mission of reducing recidivism by equipping offenders with tools to rebuild their lives.

Visitation is scheduled on weekends, allowing family and friends to connect with inmates. The latest schedule is as follows:

Visiting Hours – Temporary Civil Commitments and Sexually Dangerous Persons
