The Wyoming State Penitentiary is a full service, secure correctional facility for adult male offenders. There are three separate on-site security units that house inmates. WSP offers a variety of educational and vocational programs as well as some small industries. Additionally, WSP performs the department s initial reception and assessment process for all male offenders within the adult correctional system.
Construction is underway of a special needs, high security unit.
This facility will house 400 inmates. The existing Wyoming State Penitentiary was first occupied in 1981 and currently houses approximately 800 inmates in all levels of security.
