Located at 10 Chugach Ave in Kenai, AK, WCC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. WCC 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.

Wildwood Correctional Center (WCC) serves the entirety of the Kenai Peninsula, commencing operations in 1983 after refurbishment from a former Army/Air Force station. Spread across 136 acres, it comprises 11 buildings and accommodates up to 476 inmates. Primarily housing male inmates, unsentenced female inmates are typically transferred to the all-female institution in Eagle River. Staffed by 130 personnel, WCC caters to all custody levels. It operates as a booking facility, offering alternatives such as ankle monitoring for sentence completion. During processing months, inmate workers engage in employment at local fish processing plants, providing valuable opportunities for rehabilitation and skill-building. The three sections are the Wildwood Correctional Center (Building 10), a medium custody long-term facility housing sentenced adult male felons and misdemeanants, featuring a correctional industries program. Additionally, it includes the Wildwood Pre-Trial Facility (Building 5), a 113-bed unit catering to male and female adult felons and misdemeanants across all custody levels, and the Wildwood Transitional Program. Each of these facilities houses different security types of inmates and has different visiting hours and programs.

Originally established as the Wildwood Army Station in 1951, and constructed for military communications, it transitioned to the Wildwood Air Force Station under the U.S. Air Force in 1965. After being considered for various purposes, including a Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school, it was eventually transferred to the Kenai Native Association as part of the Alaska Native land claims settlement. Subsequently, in 1983, the State of Alaska leased a portion of the facility for correctional and pre-trial purposes, eventually acquiring it in December 1992.
