Vermont
Guides and facility information for Vermont DOC facilities — a unified system of six in-state facilities, plus men housed out of state in Mississippi.
Vermont runs a unified correctional system: the Department of Corrections is the sole agency for everything from pretrial detention through prison and community supervision, with six in-state facilities and no county jails. Women statewide are at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in South Burlington; men are held regionally at facilities in Rutland, St. Johnsbury, Newport, St. Albans, and Springfield — and about 150 sentenced men are currently housed out of state at a contract facility in Mississippi. The Offender Locator on the DOC homepage shows where someone is, and the department’s Constituent Services Unit is the published hub for family questions. Use the guides below for state-specific rules and procedures, or jump to a specific facility.
