Located at 480 Green Chapel Rd in Henning, TN, WTRC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. WTRC 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 WTRC functions as a progressive correctional facility centered on behavioral therapy in a residential community setting. With a capacity for 1,036 female offenders across custody levels ranging from minimum to medium, WTRC prioritizes rehabilitation through structured programming.
Established in 2016 within Site 1 of the West Tennessee State Penitentiary, WTRC adopts a modified therapeutic community model. This model fosters personal growth and transformation through peer interaction and a highly structured environment conducive to positive behavioral change.
WTRC offers a comprehensive array of evidence-based programs tailored to meet the rehabilitative needs of its inmates. Educational opportunities include Adult Basic Education (ABE), vocational training in Career Management, Carpentry, Culinary Arts, and Cosmetology. Additionally, the facility addresses behavioral health concerns with cognitive behavior intervention programs, mental health support units, substance use therapy, workforce development, and victim impact classes.
Through strategic community partnerships, WTRC extends educational and vocational avenues for inmates. Collaborations with institutions like Dyersburg State Community College, Rhodes College, and Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) provide access to associate degree programs, liberal arts certificates, and certifications in technology-related fields. Furthermore, industry collaborations offer job opportunities through call centers and computer programming courses facilitated by organizations like Tennessee Rehabilitative Initiative in Correction (TRICOR) and Persevere.
One notable initiative is WTRC's child visitation program, which allows children aged three months to 10 years to spend weekends with their incarcerated mothers or grandmothers at the facility, promoting family reunification and strengthening familial bonds. Inmates not engaged in academic or vocational pursuits are required to contribute to prison operations through support service roles like landscaping, janitorial services, or food services, fostering a sense of responsibility and participation in institutional functioning.
Offenders not involved in academic or vocational programs are required to work in support service roles throughout the prison including landscaping, janitorial services, or food services.
WTRC 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.
