The state put the property up for sale and struggled for many years to find a buyer. Out of the 88 acres that were up for sale, MIT purchased a portion of the land and the Essex Agricultural & Technical School purchased another portion. After many years of back-and-forth debates with the people of Middleton and County Commissioners, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts purchased the remaining acres and the Essex County Correctional Facility (Middleton Jail) opened in 1991. The opening of the Middleton House of Corrections resulted in the closing of the Salem and Lawrence jails.
