The superior courts of Danielson, New London, Norwich, and Windham use this facility.[1]

The Radgowski Annex Building, which first opened in 1957, has a capacity of 257 prisoners. It temporarily closed in 1991 but reopened in 1997. In 2017 Governor of Connecticut Dan Malloy announced that the annex will close due to a lack of prisoners resulting from a lowered crime rate.[3] Gov Ned Lamont announced Sept. 8th 2021, that the prison will close by the end of 2021 due to declining inmate population. This prison is still open and operating as of June 2024.
