About

Dooly State Prison in Unadilla is a large medium-security facility often used for men who cannot be housed in county prisons, including many sex-offense and medically limited populations. Constructed in 1993 and opened in 1994, it consists of nine main housing units with triple-bunked and double-bunked cells, an open living unit, and an isolation/segregation block, along with a Fast Track unit. Dooly offers GED, basic education, limited vocational and religious programming, but is now notorious for extreme violence, gang control, frequent medical emergencies, and chronic officer vacancies.
