Located at 480 Green Chapel Rd in Henning, TN, WTSP carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. WTSP offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
The WTSP functions as a time-building correctional facility catering to male inmates across custody levels ranging from minimum to maximum security. With an operational capacity of 980 inmates, WTSP offers a range of evidence-based programs aimed at addressing the rehabilitative needs of its population.
Originally named the West Tennessee High-Security Facility, WTSP underwent a structural reorganization in 1999, coinciding with the construction of a new 1,500-bed unit and the Cold Creek annex, leading to its current designation. Inmates at WTSP have access to educational opportunities such as Adult Basic Education (ABE) and vocational training in areas like Career Management, Computer Aided Drafting, and Core HVAC & Refrigeration. Moreover, the facility prioritizes addressing behavioral health concerns through specialized programs including cognitive behavior intervention, substance use therapy, and veterans' support communities.
Through collaborative efforts with the community, WTSP extends its educational and vocational offerings. Partnerships with institutions like Dyersburg State Community College and Tennessee College of Applied Technology provide avenues for earning associate degrees and certifications in various fields. Additionally, programs facilitated by organizations like the Tennessee Rehabilitative Initiative in Correction (TRICOR) and Persevere offer vocational training in agriculture, construction, and computer programming.
Inmates not engaged in academic or vocational pursuits are assigned support service roles within the prison, contributing to operations in areas such as landscaping, janitorial services, and food preparation. Notably, the Women’s Therapeutic Residential Center (WTRC) is also housed within the grounds of WTSP, providing further opportunities for rehabilitation and support for female offenders.
WTSP maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
