West Tennessee State Penitentiary


West Tennessee State Penitentiary is a Tennessee Department of Correction prison located in unincorporated Lauderdale County, Tennessee, near Henning. Site #1 of WTSP formerly housed the Cold Creek Correctional Facility.
The West Tennessee High Security Facility became operational in 1990. In 1999 the Cold Creek Correctional Facility 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.
