The Sussex Correctional Institution (SCI) is located in Georgetown,
Delaware. Opened in 1931, SCI is one of Delaware's oldest
correctional facilities. SCI houses maximum, medium, and
minimum security inmates. SCI houses an all-male population.
Additionally, Delaware's only Boot Camp is located on the grounds of the Sussex
Correctional Institution. The Boot Camp is a
100-bed facility accommodating 90 men and 10 women.
A major expansion project was recently completed at SCI. Between April 1997
and April 2000, 760 beds were added to the facility for a total capacity of 1,109 beds. This includes
the 100-bed Boot Camp. The expansion brought the total capacity of the
institution to 1206. SCI is also home to the nationally recognized
substance abuse treatment program called KEY. In an effort to reduce crime
and recidivism, Governor Thomas R. Carper and the Department of Correction
unveiled the program at SCI on February 10, 1998. SCI's program is called
KEY South. The KEY program is an
intense, discipline-based therapeutic substance abuse treatment program for 180
offenders at SCI.
Several programs designed to facilitate rehabilitative efforts are in place at SCI. These programs include educational opportunity, vocational training, work assignments, spiritual/religious opportunity and a variety of other classes and programming. In addition, SCI is one of the only sites in the State that houses a special needs population that suffers from mental illness or mental retardation. Appropriate programming and support is in place for this special population.
