A communication from the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association (see Section 40 of Chapter 126 of the General Laws) submitting the aggregate data on the population of the Essex County Correctional Facility for the fourth quarter of calendar year 2025

This document is a quarterly population report submitted by the Essex County Sheriff's Office to state officials and legislative committees, detailing aggregate data on inmates held at the Essex County Correctional Facility during the fourth quarter of 2025. The report includes statistical information such as race, ethnicity, admission and release dates, sentence lengths, and program participation, while explicitly excluding any personally identifying details about individual detainees. Although the submission is presented as a legislative bill, it functions primarily as a data report required by state law to track jail populations and does not introduce new policies or alter existing legal procedures.
