NYSDOC – Southport Correctional Facility

NYSDOC – Southport 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: 607-737-0850

This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Southport Correctional Facility located at 236 Bob Masia Dr
in Pine City, 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 Southport Correctional Facility is an ultra-maximum-security, or "supermax", prison, run by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. It is located in the town of Southport, in Central New York State, United States.

It is rare for a prisoner to be sent directly to Southport from the outside; virtually all of its inmates have been transferred there after committing serious disciplinary infractions at some other prison in the state. On occasion, however, a particularly notorious inmate may be sent there for "protective custody"; that is to say, to prevent him from being attacked by other inmates. One example was convicted child-killer Joel Steinberg.

Programs at Southport Correctional Facility are limited due to the high-security level of the inmates. Offenders can still receive alcohol and substance abuse treatment while incarcerated here.
