Northeastern Correctional Center is a minimum security facility of the Massachusetts Department of Correction located in the town of West Concord across the street from MCI-Concord. NCC was established in 1932, originally designed to serve as a supporting farm to the Massachusetts Correctional Institute at Concord. In its earliest stages, the facility included a cow barn and piggery, as well as a 100-bed dormitory. Although the piggery has since been eliminated, the dairy continues as a daily pasteurizing and packaging operation. This farm is responsible for supplying milk to nearly 80% of DOC facilities. In July of 1993, the farm also began packaging orange juice for distribution to DOC facilities.
