The Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Concord (MCI-Concord) is a medium security prison for men located in Concord, Massachusetts in the United States. Opened in 1878, it is the oldest running state prison for men in Massachusetts. This prison is under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Department of Correction. The facility has a total capacity of 614 general population beds,[1] but with a long-term decline in the number of men incarcerated for the entire state, the population as of 2023 had decreased to about 300 and Governor Maura Healey announced a plan to close the prison in the summer of 2024 and transfer the remaining prisoners to other facilities.[2]
