The institution was founded in 1847 as a county jail before becoming a women's prison in 1890. It later served as a girls' facility before shifting to house young male offenders from 1961 onward.
The facility provides educational programs in mathematics, English, barbering, and employability training to prepare young offenders for their return to society.

Research conducted in 2002 demonstrated that enhancing inmates' diets with vitamins and minerals resulted in decreased antisocial behavior within the institution.
