Woodbridge NJ



When the prison was built, it was next to a swamp, hardly anyone knew Woodbridge, & Rahway delivered the mail. My dad worked across the street in the 50's & 60's & a couple of times prison trustees gave me rides on the tractor they used to work the corn & hay fields of the prison farm. The farm & castle entry portal are gone, the place encased in razor wire, but "The Dome" is an unmistakable landmark.

The exterior was cleaned and repainted, and the leaks in the dome repaired about 3-4 years ago.
 
Rahwayans are generally quite fond of the prison, as long as it's made clear the prison is not in Rahway.
