West Tennessee State Penitentiary (WTSP) is a Tennessee Department of Correction prison located in unincorporated Lauderdale County, Tennessee, near Henning.[1] Site #1 of WTSP formerly housed the Cold Creek Correctional Facility.[2]
The West Tennessee High Security Facility (WTHSF) became operational in 1990.[3] In 1999 the Cold Creek Correctional Facility (CCCF) closed. CCCF was replaced by a medium security complex built next to WTHSF. The two complexes and the CCCF minimum security annex were operationally combined and became the WTSP.[4]
