History and development[]
The prison operation took over the facilities of the former St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center (formerly, the Ogdensburg State Asylum for the Insane and the St. Lawrence State Hospital), where the famed model Audrey Munson was confined for 65 years. The structures were adapted for prison use in 1982. In addition, new housing units, built specifically for prison use, were completed in 1984.
