[ Former prison in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States For similarly named prisons in Manhattan, see [Sugar house prisons (New York) "Sugar house prisons (New York)"). Sugar House Prison formerly Utah Territorial Penitentiary Sugar House Prison, previously the Utah Territorial Penitentiary, was a prison in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The 180-acre (73ha) prison housed more than 400 inmates. It was closed in 1951 due to encroaching housing development "Subdivision (land)"), and all of its inmates were moved to the new Utah State Prison in Draper. The site is now occupied by Sugar House Park and Highland High School "Highland High School (Utah)").[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_House_Prison_(Utah)#cite_note-1)
