The Bay State Correctional Center will help house families on the waitlist for state shelter. It was decommissioned in 2015 and remains in good condition, officials said. The state prison population has fallen by nearly half in less than a decade.

    Can’t wait to read the headline where they find all the unmarked graves when they start renovations.

      eh i was only built in the late 70s and only had a capacity of like 250 or so so i doubt they’ll find anything remarkable.

      It’s an improvement at least.

      Yeah, they say converting, but that would require significant amount of work and investment of time and resources, which they have no intention of putting in. This is more putting homeless people in prison without having to go through a trial first…

        As sad as it is, having prison like accommodation without getting a criminal record first, is an improvement
