Built in 1939, Lincoln was one of 61 field unit prisons renovated or built during the late 1930's to house offenders who worked building roads.
The General Assembly authorized a new dormitory in 1985. Work was completed in 1987 on the dormitory, a multipurpose building and a recreation building.. In June 1987, the building was converted to a medium security prison for adult males. It also operates a Printer Cartridge Recycling Program.
