ACA update

The American Corrections Association was on-site for three days last week as part of Lunenburg’s ACA accreditation process. They went over this place from top to bottom. Here are some preliminary findings”



1) The facility is overcrowded and understaffed;


2) Inmates don’t have the minimum required 25 square feet of individual living space (if you want to understand how large that is, measure 5 feet to the right and 5 feet up. Inmates at Lunenburg have less than 10 square feet);


3) Insufficient space for education and law library.


According to DOC, there are “plenty of beds” at the prisons. Here’s a simple rule: you can tell if DOC is lying by seeing if their spokesperson’s lips are moving!
