Massachusetts Correctional Institution, Framingham, Mass. (1955-)
The Massachusetts Correctional Institution, Framingham serves as the general penitentiary for women convicts for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
A carceral facility for female convicts was first established with An Act to Establish a Reformatory Prison for Women (St 1874, c 385), which authorized the Commissioners of Prisons to plan for the erection of a reformatory prison suitable for five hundred prisoners. The commissioners were charged with the general supervision of the prison, while a superintendent regulated its day-to-day operations. The commissioners were also empowered to transfer to the new facility female prisoners from any jail or house of correction, from the workhouse at Bridgewater, or from the house of industry at Deer Island.
