Feasibility Study and Concept Design for the Maine Correctional Center

This feasibility study examines the need for a correctional facility in Windham, Maine, and provides a financial analysis of the costs and benefits. The study concludes that the project is self-funded and will enable the Maine Department of Corrections to operate more efficiently, meet treatment needs, increase safety, and enhance the re-entry system.

  1. Feasibility Study and Concept Design for the Maine Correctional Center Maine Department of Corrections Windham, Maine Prepared by: SMRT Architects and Engineers in association with Pulitzer/Bogard & Associates

  2. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME Legislative Mandate: “prepare an independent feasibility study of the need for correctional facility construction projects in the Town of Windham. The feasibility study must consider and provide financial analysis with respect to a number of components including but not limited to the costs of the existing correctional system and the population growth and costs of a new correctional facility in the Town of Windham.”

  3. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME Key Conclusions: • There is a positive economic benefit to the State of Maine and the project is self-funded • This project will enable MDOC to do “more with less” • The alternative to this plan of action will be more costly • This project positively realigns the system capacity

  4. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • There is a positive economic benefit to the State of Maine and the project is self-funded • Will be closing the DCF and SMWRC and downsize CCF • Will be avoiding necessary capital improvements to inefficient facilities • Will put in place a design for MCC that permits more efficient operations and lowers costs • The cumulative savings will fund the new construction

  5. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • There is a positive COST benefit to the State of Maine and the project is self-funded

  6. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • This project will enable MDOC to do “more with less” • Maine has 9th highest per diem cost in the country, this plan will reduce that cost by 14.3% • The plan will fill unmet treatment needs including those who are or have: • Physical illnesses • Mental illnesses • Substance abusers • The plan will meet the needs of the growing female population • Increase safety and security for public, staff and inmates • Significantly enhances the re-entry system • Sex offenders • Assisted Living and Geriatric needs

  7. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • This project will enable MDOC to do “more with less”

  8. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • This project will enable MDOC to do “more with less”

  9. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • The alternative to this plan of action will be more costly • The state will need to spend at least $71.4 million on repairs/renovations to allow existing inefficient facilities to remain operational • This considerable expenditure will still yield little in terms of efficiencies or reducing operating costs • Nor will it meet the needs for special populations or the re-entry system without significant increases in operating expenditures

  10. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • The alternative to this plan of action will be more costly

  11. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • This project positively realigns the system capacity • Marginally increases general population bed capacity while providing needed bed space for special populations • Will provide capacity to assist counties with difficult and expensive to manage inmates • Realignment of future capacity will provide the flexibility to house different classifications and allow for peaking needs

  12. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE MAINE CORRECTIONAL CENTER Windham, ME • This project positively realigns the system capacity
