About the Hampden County Correctional Center

There are two correctional facilities in Hampden County, Massachusetts: the Hampden County Mass Juvenile Detention in Holyoke, which has a 100-bed capacity maximum-security facility, and the Hampden County Correctional Center (also known as the "Main Institution") in Ludlow, which has an average count of 900 male inmates. The latter is considered a regional medium security jail with a capacity of around 900 inmates. There is no information on the total capacity of both facilities combined. The Hampden County Jail and Correctional Center is located at 627 Randall Road, Ludlow, MA. The phone number for the facility is (413) 858-0000.

The Hampden County Jail in Massachusetts has specific visitation hours and rules. Visitors must schedule an in-person visit appointment by calling (413) 858-0195 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Inmates are allowed one or two visits per week, ranging from 15 minutes to one hour in length. All visits are non-contact and conducted through a glass partition. For more information on visitation hours and procedures, you can call 413-547-8000 or visit the Visitation Page below. There are concerns about the mental health of inmates at Hampden County Correctional Center, which is located in Ludlow, Massachusetts and has an average count of 900 male inmates. The use of force against inmates with mental illness has been reported, highlighting issues with the intersection of medicine and incarceration. Additionally, there has been a spike in demand for mental health services in jails, including Hampden County Jail, with over half of inmates needing treatment for various mental health issues.

If you need to contact an inmate at Hampden County Jail, you can do so through writing letters, email, or phone calls. Hampden County Jail in Massachusetts is unique in several ways. It is comprised of seven buildings, three of which are housing towers for pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates. The Hampden County Sheriff's Office, which oversees the jail, is focused on enhancing public safety through the corrections process by providing offenders proper classification, security, treatment, and education. The jail has also been recognized for creating step-down units to allow inmates to move from segregation to general population. However, the jail has also faced criticism for its violent environment. The Hampden County Sheriff's relentless efforts to build a larger, more modern jail and house of correction when the York Street facility outlived its usefulness is also documented.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Hampden County Correctional Center?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Hampden County Correctional Center, call the jail’s booking line at 413-858-0000.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Hampden County Correctional Center Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Hampden County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Hampden County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Hampden County Correctional Center?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Hampden County and other Massachusetts and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Hampden County Correctional Center will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Hampden County Correctional Center Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
