Wyoming Jails & Prisons
Every jail, prison and detention facility in Wyoming — addresses, phone numbers, visiting rules, and the official inmate search for each one.
Wyoming has 5 state prisons operated by Wyoming Department of Corrections, plus 25 county and local jails.
- ArrestedTaken to the county jail for the county where the arrest happened — not where they live.
- County jailHeld here while the case runs. 25 local jail facilities in Wyoming. Bail is set and posted here.
- Court and sentencingMost people leave from here. Only a sentence to state time moves someone into the prison system.
- Released, fined, or a county sentence — the path ends here for most people
- Reception centreWeeks, not days. They are scored, assessed and assigned. Expect little contact during this stage — this is the part families are least warned about.
- InstitutionPlaced at one of 5 institutions, at a security level set by their score — not by the worst thing the prison is allowed to hold.
- Release and supervisionThey report to a parole or probation office, which is rarely the city they were held in.

Where in Wyoming?
Most people know the county or the city, not the name of the facility. Start there. Bail is set and posted at the county jail, so the county page is also where the sheriff, the custody search and the court contacts live.

These have shut. Nobody is held at any of them. They are listed because the names stay in people’s records, letters and memories long after the doors close, and because a directory that simply omits them looks broken to the person searching.
