NYSDOC – Edgecombe Residential Treatment Facility basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 212-923-2575
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Edgecombe Treatment located at 611 Edgecombe Ave in New York, NY are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
Edgecombe Residential Treatment Facility, sometimes called Edgecombe Correctional Facility, is located in New York County NY. Edgecombe Residential Treatment (Correctional) Facility is classified as a minimum-security correctional facility used as a:
(1) work release facility;
(2) residential treatment facility; and
(3) general confinement facility.
The Edgecombe Specialized Chemical Dependence Services program provides intensive services to parole detainees housed at Edgecombe Residential Treatment Facility, in Manhattan, for a period of 10-45 days, preparing them for a return to their communities, and engagement in community-based addiction treatment. The facility holds 110 parolees, each voluntarily detained, with the overall service capacity of approximately 1,200 parolees annually.
The goal of the Edgecombe Residential Treatment Facility is to positively redirect the behavior of a parolee at risk of being re-incarcerated due to non-compliance with conditions of parole. Utilizing a combination of comprehensive treatment services and intensive parole supervision, the Edgecombe team engages the parolees in developing and implementing a community-based parole stabilization plan. Services are provided to the participants to ensure that continuity of care is consistent with treatment and continuing care plans. DOCCS provides security, maintenance, food services, and medical services to parolees housed at Edgecombe Residential Treatment Facility. DOCCS also provides services to meet the religious and spiritual needs of the parolees.
Treatment of parolees is a complex issue that must take into account a variety of unique issues related to their lives, including:
- criminal thinking;
- impulsive behavior;
- poor decision-making skills;
- criminal behavior;
- poor critical thinking skills; and
- (often) a long history of alcohol/substance abuse.
The Edgecombe Specialized Chemical Dependence Services program enables the parolees to “step back” from the stressors in their lives, reassess their lifestyle, and develop plans for successful community reintegration. The programmatic framework includes:
- comprehensive evaluation of all relevant domains (e.g., alcohol/substance use, employability, family relationships, housing, mental health);
- individualized treatment plans;
- structured therapeutic activities;
- individualized community reintegration plans; and
- referrals to community-based services.
In addressing the unique needs of parolees, the treatment environment must encourage parolees to address issues of addiction and criminal lifestyle and to develop new skills and strategies for successful and productive community living.
Edgecombe Correctional Facility does not allow inmates to receive packages or books/magazines.
The only item you can send to an inmate is money for their commissary account.
