Marcy Correctional Facility


Marcy Correctional Facility is a medium-security state prison for males in Marcy, Oneida County, New York. To some extent Marcy specializes in providing alcohol and drug treatment programs. All of Marcy is on one level; there are no stairs, making it especially suitable for disabled prisoners. It also has a higher-than-average number of vocational programs. One building was built with "classrooms" for lessons in how to clean an office and a toilet, lay bricks, repair electrical devices, and the like.
The prison is co-located with the Central New York Psychiatric Center, where incarcerated prisoners from state and local jurisdictions can be held and treated, and the Mid-State Correctional Facility. Marcy and the psychiatric center share a fence, with a guarded gate. Midstate and Marcy are on opposite sides of the highway, and as both are set back from the road, it is easily mile between the two prisons' gates. The Psychiatric Center houses sex offenders civilly committed.
