Facility Information

Original Design Capacity: 400 (at 101% capacity)
Bed Capacity: 900 beds
Current Population: 405

Why design capacity matters: Adding beds to a prison does not increase medical facilities, educational programs, kitchen capacity, counseling services, or recreation areas. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Plata that severe overcrowding beyond design capacity violates the 8th Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

About

Montgomery State Prison in Mount Vernon is a medium-security prison for adult male felons, constructed and opened in 1972 and later renovated in the mid-1990s. With a design capacity of about 900 beds, it houses general-population prisoners who also staff various Correctional Industries and outside work details. The facility’s mission emphasizes structured programs and reentry preparation, but it faces the same chronic resource and staffing issues present throughout the system.
