The facility located at Carman Avenue in East Meadow, New York, is the **Nassau County Correctional Center**.

As the primary correctional institution for the county, it houses individuals who have been arrested, are awaiting trial, or are serving sentences of one year or less for misdemeanor offenses.
Despite its primary function as a jail, the facility integrates educational components as part of its rehabilitative services. The Nassau County Correctional Center partners with local educational entities, such as the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), to offer programs that include Adult Basic Education (ABE), High School Equivalency (GED/TASC) preparation, and various vocational training initiatives. These programs are designed to assist incarcerated individuals in improving their literacy, obtaining high school credentials, and developing job skills to support their successful reintegration into the community upon release.
