Maine State Prison

807 Cushing Road Warren ME 04864 (207)273-5300		Warden Jeffrey Merrill Chief Administrative Officer

The mission of the Maine State Prison is to provide a safe, secure, and humane correctional environment for the incarcerated offender. Consistent with the mission of the Department of Corrections, the prison maintains appropriate control of offenders by providing various levels of security necessary to protect the public.  This control is effected by utilizing the guiding principles of unit management and direct supervision concepts.  

The Maine State Prison balances its security obligation with its obligation to promote rehabilitation by providing and implementing a comprehensive treatment plan for each offender which encourages that offender to reenter society as a law-abiding, productive citizen.  The treatment plan will include, where appropriate, the opportunity and incentive for offenders to progress to less secure facilities where they may continue their personal growth and development.  

The Maine State Prison provides a work environment that emphasizes and expects teamwork, unity, respect, recognition of staff achievements and opportunities for personal and professional growth.  Professionalism, integrity and adherence to the values of the Department of Corrections are the core of the Prison's mission.
