Closure of the Mid-Orange Correctional Facility

On June 30, 2011, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the Mid-Orange Correctional Facility would be closed as part of a reorganization to save tax dollars. Within about 60 days, the inmates would be moved and the facility shut down.

This move ends a legacy of social reform and justice on this property that stretches back 99 years.

Please share with us your memories of the Mid-Orange Correctional and the New York State Training School for Boys.
