Suffolk County Community Corrections Center Custody Lookup

Suffolk County Community Corrections Center Overview

The Suffolk County Community Corrections Center is listed by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department at 33 Bradston Street, Boston, MA 02118, with phone contact (617) 635-1000 x2500. The facility map and SCSD statement-of-purpose materials identify it as part of the Sheriff's Department's local corrections system, but the research sweep did not locate an official bed count, public inmate housing description, visiting schedule, or public jail roster for this location.

That distinction is important. The Suffolk County Jail at Nashua Street is the maximum-security county jail tied to booking, pretrial detention, court transport, property, and the main jail Records line. The Suffolk County House of Correction is the South Bay county correctional facility for many people serving sentences of 2.5 years or less and for facility programming. The Community Corrections Center is better understood as an alternative-sanctions, supervision, and program site.

Because no matching facility screenshot for 33 Bradston Street was listed as a successful manifest row, this page stays text-only rather than borrowing an image from Nashua Street or South Bay. The local content still comes from the facility map, SCSD contact information, and the county lookup research.

What This Center Does, and What It Does Not Do

The research supports a careful description: the Community Corrections Center is a community corrections, alternative sanctions, and supervision site. It is not documented in the source sweep as a normal jail housing unit with a published capacity, visiting table, inmate mail format, or money-deposit process. People connected to the center may be program clients or community-corrections participants rather than jail inmates in the custody sense used for Nashua Street or South Bay.

A reader looking for a person in physical jail custody should not start by assuming that the Community Corrections Center has a housing unit or a public inmate roster. Start with the custody question first: was the person recently arrested, serving a county sentence, transferred to state prison, held for federal court, or placed in an alternative program?

How to Handle a Lookup Involving the Community Corrections Center

No official public online SCSD roster was located for Suffolk County, and no Community Corrections Center roster was located. The safest lookup method is to route the question by custody type. If the person is believed to be in physical jail custody after an arrest, call Nashua Street Records. If the person is serving a county sentence or assigned to South Bay, call HOC Records. If the question is about community corrections programming or supervision at 33 Bradston Street, call the center extension.

1. For a recent arrest, call Suffolk County Jail at Nashua Street Records at (617) 635-1100 x3005.
2. For a county-sentenced inmate or South Bay housing question, call House of Correction Records at (617) 635-1000 x2017.
3. For Community Corrections Center program or supervision questions, call (617) 635-1000 x2500.
4. If the person is not found in SCSD custody, check Massachusetts VINE, MassCourts, MADOC, BOP, or ICE depending on the case type.

Suffolk County Community Corrections Center Address and Contact

The official contact listing is short, so do not add a jail-style public counter schedule or detention operations details that the research did not locate. Use the center extension for program and supervision questions, and use SCSD Records lines for custody questions involving people held at the jail or House of Correction.

Visitation and Appointments at Suffolk County Community Corrections Center

The source sweep did not locate a jail-style visitation schedule for the Community Corrections Center. That absence matches the facility's documented role as a community corrections and alternative sanctions site rather than a normal jail housing unit. Do not use Nashua Street's daily visiting hours or South Bay's unit-specific visiting schedule for 33 Bradston Street unless SCSD separately confirms that the person is in a custody setting with visits.

Mail, Phone, and Money Questions for Community Corrections

The research did not locate a Community Corrections Center inmate-mail format, commissary account process, money-order rule, or jail phone vendor. For that reason, do not send jail mail or money to 33 Bradston Street unless the center or SCSD confirms the correct procedure. SCSD's documented mail and money rules apply to Nashua Street detainees and South Bay inmates, not automatically to community corrections participants.

Public Records and Court Records Connected to Community Corrections

A community corrections placement can connect to court orders, probation, alternative sanctions, reentry programming, or supervision conditions. Those records may not sit in a jail roster. For the court side, use MassCourts or the clerk's office to review the docket, conditions, next court date, and case status. For Sheriff's Department documents, use the SCSD Records Access Officer and make the request narrow enough to identify the person, date, facility or program, and exact record sought.

SCSD's public-records contact is Patty Sullivan, Executive Assistant in the Office of the General Counsel, at psullivan@scsdma.org, (617) 635-1100 x3082, fax (617) 704-6693, and mail at 200 Nashua Street, Boston, MA 02114. Massachusetts public-records law generally requires a response within 10 business days, subject to exemptions and fee rules. Use that route for documents, not for urgent live custody confirmation.

When the Lookup Is State, Federal, or Immigration Custody

The Community Corrections Center does not replace statewide or federal search systems. If a Suffolk County case led to a state-prison sentence, use the Massachusetts Department of Correction route through Mass.gov and VINE. If the case is federal, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for people in BOP custody, but remember that U.S. Marshals custody and federal pretrial movement may not appear in BOP immediately. If immigration custody is suspected, use ICE's detainee locator with an A-Number and country of birth or a biographical search.

These distinctions prevent a common error: treating every Suffolk County criminal-justice contact as an SCSD jail record. A person may be under court supervision, in a community program, in county jail, in state prison, in federal custody, or released with conditions. Each status has a different records owner and a different lookup method.

About Suffolk County Community Corrections Center

The center belongs in the facility set because the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department lists it with its correctional operations, but its page needs narrower language than the jail and HOC pages. No official capacity, housing-unit count, public detention roster, or facility-specific visit schedule was located in the source sweep. The best supported description is a community corrections, alternative sanctions, and supervision location at 33 Bradston Street.

The broader SCSD mission language emphasizes rehabilitation and reducing recidivism. SCSD program materials across the department reference detainee programs, vocational arts, education, reentry services, community work, religious services, social services, and women's program services. Those department-wide program references support the center's supervision and alternatives context, but they do not create a public jail housing claim for this location.

The elected sheriff listed by SCSD is Steven W. Tompkins; as of the August 27, 2025 state statement, Special Sheriff Mark Lawhorne was filling the role while Tompkins's federal case is pending. This leadership note is operational context only and should not be read as a conviction or as a change to where custody records are kept.
