The Northern State Correctional Facility (NSCF) is a state prison in the city of Newport, Orleans County, Vermont, United States. It holds up to 433 medium security male prisoners[2] and is the largest prison in Vermont.[3] The Vermont Department of Corrections is responsible for running this prison.
A branch of the Community High School of Vermont is located there. It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It graduated 13 men in 2007.[4]
In 2008, the budget for the facility was $10 million.[5] The total expenditures for Fiscal Year 2010 were $16,698,753.[1]
In 2013, the superintendent named four gangs prevalent among the prisoners: the Crips, the Bloods, the Aryan Nation, and a local gang, the Chittenden County White Boys. He indicated that Vermont is not violent and the local culture prevails with minimum conflict among the gangs.[6]
