Middlesex County has a long history of national leadership in
jail operations. In 1917, when the jail opened in New Brunswick, Middlesex
pioneered a number of architectural innovations.
In 1978, the Board of Freeholders combined the jail and the
workhouse into a unified Department of Corrections. A modern facility was
constructed in North Brunswick and the old buildings were closed. Since opening
in 1984, the Adult Correction Center has been recognized as a leader in Direct
Supervision Jail Management. Through the years, jail leaders from all around
the country (and even overseas) have visited Middlesex County.
