Located at 2006 Trap Springs Rd in Grafton, WV, Pruntytown Correctional carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. Pruntytown Correctional 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.

Originally established as the West Virginia Industrial School for Boys in 1891, the Pruntytown Correctional Center underwent transitions over the years, serving as a juvenile facility until its closure in January 1983 when the juveniles were relocated to the West Virginia Industrial Home for Youth near Salem. However, the facility was reopened in 1985 to house minimum custody of adult male inmates tasked primarily with renovating the premises. By November 1988, it became the state's first adult co-ed correctional facility with the addition of thirty-two state adult female prisoners from the Federal Correctional Institution for Women at Alderson. Further expansion in 1999 accommodated an additional 128 male inmates.

Currently housing 369 minimum and medium custody male inmates, Pruntytown Correctional Center offers various programs and opportunities for inmate rehabilitation. In addition to participating in the Paws 4 Prison program, where offenders work with dogs as service animals, inmates can engage in supportive institution roles, laundry services, and custodial maintenance.

Situated on over 100 acres of rolling hills, the complex comprises several buildings and facilities. The east side includes housing units, an education building, an administration building, and a kitchen/dining hall, while the west side features the former warden's residence, a correctional industry shop, a maintenance storage building, and modular housing within a perimeter fence. Inmate housing is divided into five separate buildings, including dormitory-style units and a modular unit housing the residential substance abuse unit.

Inmates at Pruntytown are typically within 36 months of potential release through parole or discharge. Many inmates have the opportunity to transition to one of the state's work release centers as they progress through their sentences, contributing to their rehabilitation and eventual reintegration into society.
