ALBERT C WAGNER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

ALBERT C WAGNER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY is a public school that is part of the OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS school district, located in BORDENTOWN, NJ.

The Albert C. Wagner Youth Correctional Facility, located in Bordentown, New Jersey, was a medium-security state prison that served as a significant institution within the New Jersey Department of Corrections. Originally commissioned as a reformatory, the facility was primarily designed to house and rehabilitate younger male offenders. Over its decades of operation, it served as a central hub for vocational training, educational programming, and behavioral development, aiming to provide inmates with the skills necessary for successful reintegration into society upon their release.

In recent years, the facility became a subject of major transition within the state’s correctional system. In 2020, as part of a broader effort to reduce prison overcrowding and address declining inmate populations, the New Jersey Department of Corrections announced the permanent closure of the Albert C. Wagner facility. The institution has since ceased operations, and the site has been slated for decommissioning, marking the end of its long-standing role as a cornerstone of New Jersey’s juvenile and young-adult correctional infrastructure.
