Bridgeport CC offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.

Bridgeport CC, established in 1958, serves as a high-security state jail housing 624 men sentenced in Connecticut courts of Ansonia, Derby, Milford, Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk, and Stamford. Originally built to accommodate pre-trial defendants and sentenced offenders for multiple court jurisdictions, it has undergone expansions and renovations over the years.

The prison campus, which initially consisted of the original building erected in 1958, saw a new addition in 1974. However, a fire in 1990 led to the demolition of the original facility. Presently, all inmates are housed in cell blocks within the "New Center" or in one of three open dorm units: Madison, North Wing, and Memorial.

With a current staffing level of 325, Bridgeport Correctional Center offers various programs and services to support inmate rehabilitation and well-being. These include addiction services, educational programs, recreational activities, religious services, and volunteer opportunities.
