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 due to the fact that 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.
