Located at 2900 S Higley Rd in Rawlins, WY, WSP carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. WSP 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.
Established in 1980, the Wyoming State Penitentiary initially housed inmates in "C" Block, with an original capacity of 550. By 1995, additional beds were added, reaching a total of around 825. Eventually, the safe housing capacity was determined to be 780.
Key developments included the construction of the West Tower in 1983 and the East Tower in 1984, enhancing perimeter security. In 1995, the Intensive Treatment Unit addressing long-term substance abuse was introduced.
In 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice initiated site inspections under the Civil Rights of Incarcerated Persons Act, leading to findings in 1999. While the state disputed constitutional rights violations, they agreed with many recommendations, committing to cooperation for resolution.
The High-Security Special Needs (HSSN) facility opened in Summer 2001, renaming the 1980 facility to the "North Facility," while the HSSN became the "South Facility." Due to unresolved life/safety issues, the North Facility was vacated in 2001, relocating inmates.
A final agreement between the Wyoming Department of Corrections and the DOJ was reached in April 2002, allowing one year for substantial compliance and maintenance.
In 2001, the South Facility, along with administration and warehouse buildings, catered to the complex's needs. The South Facility, operational from July 2001, accommodates high-security, medical, and mental health needs, with a capacity of 826 inmates. Additionally, it houses medium and minimum-security inmates due to the North Facility's closure.
The Central Production Facility opened in August 2002, marked the complete closure of the original kitchen/laundry facility in the North Facility. This concluded the North Facility's occupancy.
WSP 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.
