The Massachusetts Correctional Institution, Framingham, houses females sentenced to imprisonment, awaiting trial, or committed by the courts for alcohol or substance abuse treatment (MGLA c 125, s 16; c 123, s 35). The pre-release center, called Hodder House, is a minimum security unit to which eligible inmates are sent approximately eighteen months prior to parole or expiration of sentence to become acclimated to life outside the institution.

Unmonitored family visitation program operating files are created to administer the program for inmates who have been accepted for participation.
