San Andreas Department of Corrections

San Andreas Department of Corrections

SADOC Crest

The San Andreas Department of Corrections is the top facility for housing felons in the state of San Andreas, not that it has any competition.

History

The San Andreas Department of Corrections opened in late 2018 by the first Warden, Elijah Reid. The prison went through it's first big change in mid 2019 with a large interior added which included a catwalk over the cellblock. The interior was then updated again in December 2020 and received a few minor changes since then.

Bolingbroke went through many iterations in design, going from a small bunker style to utilising over half of the prison.

The first divisions were opened in 2020 with the Correctional Medical Team followed by the Groundskeeping Division. Since then ten other divisions have opened up to allow Correctional Officers a wide variety of tasks to do around Bolingbroke. The most recent division, Parole and Surveillance, opened in July 2024.
