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