SUGAR LAND LOCKS DOWN OLD PRISON GROUNDS – built 1909

The 258 acres of the closed central unit prison facility sold for $6M to the City of Sugar Land.  The city will clear 96 buildings from the site, but not modify the main prison building, which was designated a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark in 2003.  The land is owned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice until the city takes over in July.  Many uses for the land.
