History
Originally built on a 350-acre farm in Billerica, Massachusetts, the facility was to replace a condemned jail 15 miles away in East Cambridge, Massachusetts.[2] The facility originally could hold over 300 prisoners, cost $837,000 to build,[3] and was completed in December 1931.[4]
On December 9, 2024, the Middlesex Sheriff's Office installed a free vending machine filled with Naloxone inside of the facility's visitor center.[5] Within the first year of operation the machine was used 205 times.[6]
