The Massachusetts Treatment Center is located within the Bridgewater Correctional Complex and is a unique facility due to having a population of civilly committed Sexually Dangerous Persons as well as state prison inmates identified as sex offenders. Each population is located within separate areas of the facility.

General Law Chapter 123A.


State Policy with Respect to Civil Commitment:

We are attempting to find any and all state policies which are being used that relate to civil detainees and/or the state's civil commitment center/s.

So far we have located this Policy:
Internal DOC Policy: Handling of Sex Offenders
(103 DOC 446) Before Civil Commitment

If anyone knows of others, or even an updated version of the above, please let us know.

Thanks, eAdvocate
