Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC) women’s re-entry facility - Windham, MEWindham, ME Landry/French Construction Co. broke ground on the new Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC) women’s re-entry facility.
The 21,500 s/f, 72-bed facility is being built on the undeveloped eastern side of a 108-acre, MDOC-owned parcel that already houses one other correctional facility along River Rd. The project includes a range of housing levels across three medium-security units, a 40-space parking lot, new driveways and drop-off areas, a delivery loop, new sidewalks and the extension of existing utilities. The facility will also offer more rehabilitative programs and assisted-living beds for aging inmates. It will replace the 64-bed Southern Maine re-entry in Alfred, which the department currently leases.
The new facility was designed by SMRT.
The project is expected to be completed in early 2017.
