Lanesboro Correctional Institution was a state men's prison in Polkton, North Carolina, that first opened in January, 2004 and operated by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety Adult Corrections. As one of the state's four largest prisons, the official capacity was 1,800 prisoners. The facility housed medium- and close-security inmates. As of March 2012 Lanesboro was one of six state prisons put on lockdown to squelch gang fights and coordinated gang activity. As of May 2016, state corrections officials announced that the Lanesboro facility would be merged with the adjacent Brown Creek Correctional Institution, which is to be converted from medium to minimum security.
