Bay State Correctional Center (BSCC) is a small, general population medium security facility that stands on the grounds of the original dormitory buildings of Massachusetts Correctional Institution – Norfolk. It houses both long and short term inmates and many inmates who are elderly because the entire facility is handicapped accessible. The facility was officially opened in 1977, to combat prison overcrowding rates, with an original capacity of 72 inmates. Today, it houses over 300 due to recent additions and improvements. BSCC is under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Department of Correction.
As of April 2015, it is in the process of moving inmates out to other facilities and closing.
