The facility was built starting in 1910, partly by prisoners of Wethersfield State Prison, and opened in 1913 as Chester Reformatory for boys ages 16 to 24. In 1982, the state Manson Youth Institution borders the CCI, and Cheshire has been reassigned as an adult prison.
The current CCI capacity is 1580 inmates. Among the inmates was former Yale University lab technician Raymond J. Clark, III, who served 44 years for the murder of Annie Le in September 2009 at Yale.
