The Brockville Jail is a jail in Brockville, Ontario operated by the provincial Ministry of the Solicitor General. It is the oldest operational jail in the province.[2]
On August 27, 2020 the Government of Ontario announced funding for a new facility to replace the Brockville Jail as part of a larger project to renovate and replace prisons in eastern Ontario.[3] The new 66-bed facility, to be called the Brockville Correctional Complex, will be constructed on the grounds of the St. Lawrence Valley Correctional and Treatment Centre.[2]
