The Vermont Department of Corrections is an executive agency of the U.S. state of Vermont; charged with overseeing the state correctional facilities, supervising probation and parolees, and serving in an advisory capacity in the prevention of crime and delinquency. It is a part of the Vermont Agency of Human Services.[1]
State prison facilities
The Department of Corrections manages the operations of nine prison facilities within the state. There were 2,202 prisoners in the system in 2007.[2]
| Name | Location | Security level | Capacity | Prisoners | Gender |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northern State Correctional Facility | Newport | ||||
| Southeast State Correctional Facility | Windsor | ||||
| Dale Woman's Facility | Waterbury | ||||
| Caledonia Community Work Camp | St. Johnsbury | ||||
| Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility | South Burlington | ||||
| Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility | Rutland | ||||
| Northeast Regional Correctional Facility | St. Johnsbury | ||||
| Northwest State Correctional Facility | Swanton[3] | ||||
| Southern State Correctional Facility | Springfield |
Additionally, 559 prisoners are imprisoned out of state. These prisoners cost half as much as the prisoners in state because only healthy prisoners are sent elsewhere. Also, these larger out-of-state prisons have economy-of-scale that cannot be matched in Vermont's smaller prisons.[4]
There are 600 corrections officers. [5]
Probation and Parole Offices
There are 13 community-based probation and parole offices throughout Vermont. These are under the administrative jurisdiction of the Department. The offices are located in Barre, Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Chelsea (sub-office in Hartford District), Hartford, Middlebury, Morrisville, Newport, Rutland, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, and Springfield.[6]
Future plans
In 2008, the department announced plans to close the Windsor prison for women, move women's prison to St.Albans(Swanton), and move some Swanton prisoners to Newport.[4]
Fallen officers
Since the establishment of the Vermont Department of Corrections, 2 officers have died in the line of duty. [7]
