Established in 1692, the MSO has been recognized by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) and a host of organizations for its innovative, cutting edge programs including the Medication Assisted Treatment And Directed Opioid Recovery (MATADOR) Program, the Housing Unit for Military Veterans (HUMV) and the Commonwealth’s first specialized unit for young adult offenders.  This March, the MSO also opened a new pre-release center designed to help prepare incarcerated women for re-entry.  This program focuses on treatment, family engagement and reunification.

“These innovative programs not only make the MSO a leader in the field of rehabilitation, but also provide incredible opportunities for officers to continue to grow in their careers through specialized training and assignments,” said Sheriff Koutoujian.
