Boston Pre-Release Center

Boston Pre-Release Center is located in Roslindale Massachusetts.  It is a minimum security/pre-release center, this means that the inmates are close to being released and are being prepared by taking courses to help acclimate the inmate to the coming change.  Some inmates may qualify for work release, which allows the offender to report to a job within the surrounding community during the day and return to the facility at night.  This facility can house up to 200 offenders.

Boston Pre-Release Center has multiple programs designed to re-educate and program the inmate.  Offenders who suffer from substance abuse issues can participate in Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous to help combat their addictions.  Inmates can also take adult basic education and GED courses to earn a diploma.  In addition, inmates who have children are encouraged to take part in the Fatherheart parenting program and child support enforcement seminars.  Other programs offered to inmates include work training/work release and community release.

Visiting Hours at Boston Pre-Release Center:

Visiting for general population inmates is everyday from 1pm-4pm and 6pm-9pm.  If the inmate is still in orientation, is unemployed, or has a disciplinary action against them they can only have visits during the week from 6pm-9pm, weekend visits can be either session.  Visitors are not allowed to enter between 2:45pm-3:15pm during the shift change.  Inmates can have up to four visitors at a time.  There is no limit to the number of weekly visits an inmate can have.
