Since 1877 the Reformatory Prison for Women under successive names has had as its function the punishment and rehabilitation of female offenders. Minutes record actions taken by the various boards of parole, that established for the reformatory itself, consisting of the chairman and two women members of the Board of Prison Commissioners (St 1913, c 829), and later those of the Massachusetts Bureau of Prisons (St 1916, c 241) and of the Department of Correction (St 1919, c 350, s 85). Before 1913 the Commissioners of Prisons had allowed early release by permit (St 1881, c 90).

The Reformatory Prison for Women was opened in Sherborn in 1877. It was renamed Reformatory for Women by St 1911, c 181 and because of a redrawn boundary line its fuller designation was changed from Reformatory for Women at Sherborn to Reformatory for Women at Framingham by St 1932, c 180, s 24. Under St 1955, c 770 it received its current name, Massachusetts Correctional Institution, Framingham. From the description of Photographs of recreational events, 1911-1950 (bulk 1917-1924)....
