Bridgewater, MA Old Colony Correctional Center View
Old Colony Correctional Center is a Massachusetts Department of Correction state prison in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. It is operated by the Massachusetts DOC, not the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office. The facility primarily houses adult male inmates in DOC custody, including sentenced state prisoners, and provides secure confinement and related programming, including mental health-oriented services within the state correctional system. It is not a typical local county jail for newly arrested pretrial detainees, although custody status can vary by legal order. Its role is to hold people committed to state correctional custody and support court-ordered and DOC-managed incarceration, classification, and reentry processes.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Old Colony Correctional Center
Public inmate information is usually available through the Massachusetts Department of Correction inmate search or other official roster tools. These records typically list the inmate’s name, identification number, location, booking or commitment date, charges or offense information when available, and custody status. New records may take several hours to appear after intake or transfer, so an inmate may not be searchable immediately after booking or arrival. If you cannot find a person, check spelling, try again later, or contact the facility or the DOC records office. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster and the most current custody information.
