The mission of WCC is to empower women to reclaim their liberty through informed and responsive choices. This is accomplished through a professional, well-trained and dedicated staff, committed to the goals of the facility. The continuum of care, from entry to post release, is designed to promote successful offender re-entry as socially and civically responsible citizens.

The Hampden Medium Security Facility, also known as the "Main Institution", is located in Ludlow, Massachusetts. An average inmate count is 1,350 (1,220 men, 130 women).

It is composed of seven buildings, three of which are housing towers for pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates. The facility is divided into 24 living units under a Unit Management/Direct Supervision mode of operation.

Sentenced inmates are expected to maintain a 40-hour work week of participation in productive activities within the facility that include both job assignments and programs. All sentenced inmates go through a Basic Inmates' Intensive Regimen, and continue with programs that address their deficits in substance abuse, education, employment, anger management, victim awareness, etc.
