The Enfield Correctional Institution serves as a level 3 medium-security facility for sentenced offenders and focuses on programming initiatives geared toward substance abuse, education and vocational instruction.

In addition, a newly developed transitional program entitled "Going Home" was designed to provide inmates approaching the end of their sentence with a host of skills oriented toward successful reintegration into the community.
