Northwest State Correctional Facility
Northwest State Correctional Facility is located in Swanton Vermont. This facility can house up to 262 inmates. This facility opened in 1969 and is part of several facilities that are beginning to need intensive repair. This facility has housed both males and females over the years. Today this prison is used as a detention facility for inmates awaiting trial in addition to housing long term commitments. Northwest State Correctional Facility offers a cognitive self change program which aims to modify an inmate's behavioral patterns. Mental health services and sex offender treatment programs are also available at this prison.
In addition to general population units, Northwest State Correctional Facility has a segregation unit, and a close custody unit. Recently this facility was acclaimed for meeting Vermont's new Recycling of Solid Waste law over a year early. The facility accomplished this by creating a program that sorts recyclables and organic matter from the trash. Organic materials are composted and plastics, metals and paper goods are recycled. This program not only saves the environment but saves thousands in disposal costs.
