History
The original building on the current prison campus was built in 1958. In 1974, A new addition was opened and the original building was turned over to the Bridgeport courts as judge's chambers and housing for pre-trial detainees. A fire in 1990 led to the demolition of the original facility and all inmates are currently either housed in cell blocks in the "New Center" or in one of three open dorm units: Madison, North Wing, and Memorial.
