NYSDOC – Gouverneur Correctional 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: 315-287-7351
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Gouverneur Correctional Facility located at 112 Scotch Settlement Rd in Gouverneur, 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.
The Gouverneur Correctional Facility is a medium-security state prison for about 1075 adult men located in Gouverneur, St. Lawrence County, New York, owned and operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
The S-Block unit at this facility is a segregation unit that can house 200 inmates. Substance abuse and alcohol abuse treatment is available to offenders who suffer from addiction, and unique counseling is available to incarcerated Veterans.
Gouverneur CF has several vocational courses available for inmates to participate in, which include custodial and building maintenance, flooring, electrical, business, masonry, horticulture, and welding.
Educational courses are made available for inmates and include adult basic education and the ability to earn a GED.
