Sugar House Prison, former prison in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Sugar House Prison was a penitentiary in Salt Lake City that held inmates under territorial and state management. The facility was demolished decades ago and no longer stands on its original site.
The prison was established in the 1800s and served as the primary detention facility for the Utah region. It was eventually replaced by newer correctional facilities as the territory developed into a state.
The site no longer exists as a physical location, so on-site visits are not possible. Historical records and information about this facility can be found in local archives and museums in Salt Lake City.
The facility was known for pioneering rehabilitation programs for inmates during the territorial era. This forward-thinking approach made it a subject of national discussions about correctional reform.
