明治5年(1872)、東京府は川崎八右衛門に煉瓦の製造を委託、川崎氏は小菅県庁跡地に日本ではじめて火を消さないで連続してレンガを焼ける西洋式のホフマン窯の煉瓦工場を設置、高品質の煉瓦の大量生産が可能になり、小菅でつくられた煉瓦は、銀座や丸の内、旧法務省本館、旧岩崎邸など、近代日本を象徴する煉瓦建造物に使われました。東京拘置所にも使われています。しかし、煉瓦街地区が銀座のみに制限されてからは煉瓦が売りさばけず経営維持が困難となり、明治11年、内務省が敷地ごと煉瓦製造所を買い上げ官営化、同敷地に集治監を設置して刑務作業としての煉瓦製造に変わりました。大正11年(1922)、小菅刑務所と改称されました。戦後、小菅には小菅刑務所と東京拘置所が同居する状態となりました。一時期、刑務所と拘置所は別の場所に移転しましたが、昭和46年(1971)に拘置所は再び小菅に移され、現在の東京拘置所となりました。
In the Meiji 5th (1872), Tokyo Prefecture outsourced the manufacture of bricks to Hachiemon Kawasaki. Mr. Kawasaki set up a brick factory of Western-style Hoffmann kiln on the site of the former Kosuge prefectural office for the first time in Japan to product bricks continuously without extinguishing the fire. It enabled mass production of high quality bricks which were used in brick buildings that symbolize modern Japan, such as Ginza, Marunouchi, the former Ministry of Justice Main Building, and the former Iwasaki Residence. It's also used for the Tokyo Detention House. However, because the brick town area was restricted to Ginza only, the bricks could not be sold well and the factory became difficult to maintain. In the Meiji 11th (1878), the Ministry of Home Affairs purchased a brick factory with its site and moved it under government operation. The Ministry had set up a detention facility on the same site and changed to brick manufacturing as a prison work. In Taisho 11th (1922), the name was changed to Kosuge Prison. After World War II, Kosuge Prison and Tokyo Detention House lived together in Kosuge. That was temporarily moved other location, but Detention House was moved to Kosuge again in Showa 46th (1971) and became the current Tokyo Detention House.
