The Massachusetts Department of Corrections (3MAP) reports new admissions to the MTC
on their regular monthly prisoner reports. These reports include:
-
a.
Individuals who have been convicted recently and are serving “regular” sentences for criminal offenses ;
-
b.
Individuals who have been convicted but who have finished serving their “regular” sentences and who were transferred to MTC under a court ordered civil commitment;
and
-
c.
Individuals who are under a court ordered civil commitment, not in connection with a crime (i.e. who have not been convicted).
When developing a PUPS alert for an individual at the MTC, use routine verification
procedures for 3MAP to determine why the individual is confined at the MTC.
If an individual is confined based on a criminal conviction and is serving his sentence
at MTC (GN BOS02607.360B.3.a.), suspend benefits using routine prisoner suspension provisions.
If an individual is confined at the MTC under a court ordered civil commitment (GN BOS02607.360B.3.b and c.) contact the Regional Prisoner Coordinator before taking any action.
NOTE: If an individual is confined at the MTC under a court ordered civil commitment (B.3.b
and B.3.c above), the individual is assigned a 3MAP inmate number beginning with an
“M”.
