Bristol County for Correctional Justice (BCCJ) is a group that has formed to hold Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson accountable. The Bristol County jail is known for its inhumane conditions and mistreatment of people incarcerated. There have been various reports of inadequate and untimely health treatment, use of excessive force, lack of nutritious meals and a high number of inmate suicides (highest in the state). BCCJ will work toward local and statewide efforts of raising the standards in our jails as they develop.
