This abandoned medium security prison was constructed in 1929 and opened in 1932 as reformatory for men. This facility was originally designed and first used to house youthful offenders. The facility closed in 1992 due to opening of the John J. Moran Facility near by. However the prison facility reopened in 1997 until 2011 where It closed down again for the last time due to agency budget cuts.
