Prison Description

The Lackawanna County Prison is located at 1371 North Washington Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Prison was originally built in the mid 1880’s for a population of 110 prisoners. A major renovation and expansion was completed in 1999, allowing for a maximum population of approximately 1,200 prisoners. We house male and female pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates up to one day less than five years. The Prison is like a small town in that all the needs of the inmates are contained within the walls such as laundry, food service, canteen, medical services, chapel, gymnasium and housing units. Various programs are afforded to the inmate population based upon their classification along the lines of Drug & Alcohol Counseling, Alcoholic Anonymous meetings, Anger Management, Parenting Classes, and Computer training – just to name a few.
