Pondville Correctional Center (PCC), nestled in Norfolk, Massachusetts, is a minimum security and pre-release facility managed by the Massachusetts Department of Correction. Located about 36 miles southwest of Boston, PCC serves exclusively male inmates, focusing on preparing them for reintegration into society.
Opened decades ago, this facility has gained recognition for its innovative approach to rehabilitation. It emphasizes accountability and offers a strict yet supportive environment to its residents. Unlike traditional prisons, PCC does not have perimeter walls or fences. Instead, security is maintained through thorough inmate monitoring and detailed accountability processes.
The facility has an operational capacity of 204 inmates, though recent occupancy rates suggest it houses fewer offenders at one time. For instance, in 2020, PCC accommodated just 151, demonstrating a commitment to managing overcrowding for a balanced and functional environment.
Pondville Correctional Center provides various programs for vocational training, substance abuse recovery, and mental health care, helping residents transition back into the community effectively. These programs are critical, as they aim to reduce recidivism while addressing individual needs.
Visitation is essential for maintaining inmate well-being. As of November 2024, PCC features a structured visitation schedule.
