The current Hampshire Jail and House of Correction replaced a small
Civil War Era facility which was located in Northampton center. The
institution was completed and occupied in 1985 on a site 2 miles
northwest of Northampton center. The Facility was originally designed
to house 148 inmates. As an aide to overcrowding in the State prison
system, a 100 bed modular building was erected in 1988, increasing the
total to 248.
