| The Lackawanna County Prison mission is the incarceration of person(s) adjudicated as offenders or suspected of being offenders of the law. The intent of such incarceration is to; protect society by providing incarceration as an appropriate deterrent to the commission of crime; insure that person(s) on a pre-trial status appear in court; provide a safe and secure environment for offender and staff; offer programs for positive personal growth and positive reintegration into the community upon their release; insure the basic physical and medical health needs are attended to; protect the basic constitutional rights of the offender(s). |

| The Lackawanna County Prison is located at 1371 North Washington Avenue in Scranton Pennsylvania. The Prison was originally built in the mid 1880’s for a population of 110 prisoners. A major renovation and expansion was completed in 1999, allowing for a maximum population of approximately 1,200 prisoners. We house male and female pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates up to one day less than five years. The Prison is like a small town in that all the needs of the inmates are contained within the walls such as laundry, food service, canteen, medical services, chapel, gymnasium and housing units. Various programs are afforded to the inmate population based upon their classification along the lines of Drug & Alcohol Counseling, Alcoholic Anonymous meetings, Anger Management, Parenting Classes, and Computer training - just to name a few. It is our goal to act as both a deterrent to criminal activity and to act as a force for the rehabilitation of the individual.
