Re: Plan of Correction – MCI Concord
Dear Superintendent Gray:
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Community Sanitation Program (CSP) has received your Plan of
Correction in response to my inspection of MCI Concord on March 12 and 13, 2024. After review, the CSP finds
the plan appropriately addresses all the violations noted in the report with the following exceptions:
1. In regard to the issue of cell size, the CSP appreciates the limitations of correctional facilities and the need
to accommodate the population; however we remain concerned.
The CSP, requests to be kept apprised of the closing of MCI Concord and that we be notified once the facility is no
longer housing inmates.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, should you have any questions please contact me at the address
listed above.
Sincerely,
Amy Medeiros
