Tommy "GUNZ" Vendetta

    Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center is a maximum security prison in Lancaster, Massachusetts. (Mail delivery to the prison is through the post office in the neighboring town of Shirley)".  It is operated by the Massachusetts Department of Correction. It is close to the medium-security prison Massachusetts Correctional Institution – Shirley, which is directly to the north in Shirley proper.    

    Souza-Baranowski opened on September 30, 1998 and is among the most technologically advanced prisons in the United States.  Currently, the facility houses just over 1,000 maximum-security adult-male inmates.
    The prison is named in honor of two corrections officers, James Souza, 29, and Alfred Baranowski, 54, who were shot in July 1972 by an inmate whose wife had smuggled in handguns into what was then the Norfolk Prison Colony.
