About
Lee State Prison in Leesburg is a medium-security men’s prison opened in 1979. It has 11 general-population housing units with two-man cells plus specialized housing for isolation, medical, and mobility-impaired prisoners, and also functions as a transfer hub and intake point for certain movements within the system. The prison provides outside work details and basic programming but has been affected by the same staffing shortages, gang pressures, and lockdown conditions seen statewide.
