Windham, ME – Landry/French Construction Company, of Scarborough, recently broke ground on the new Maine Department of Corrections Women’s Re-Entry Facility in Windham.

The new facility was designed by SMRT of Portland and is expected to be completed in early 2017.

The 21,500sf, 72-bed facility is being built on the undeveloped eastern side of a 108-acre, MDOC-owned parcel that already houses one other correctional facility along River Road. The project includes a range of housing levels across three medium-security units, a 40-space parking lot, new driveways and drop-off areas, a delivery loop, new sidewalks, and the extension of existing utilities.

The facility will also offer more rehabilitative programs and assisted-living beds for aging inmates. It will replace the 64-bed Southern Maine Re-Entry in Alfred, which the department currently leases.
