The Wyoming Department of Corrections, WDOC, runs an Offender Locator that needs either a WDOC inmate number or at least the first two letters of a last name, with first name, age and gender to narrow the results; when both a number and a name are entered the number wins, and people are listed by their names as they appear in official court documents. Its disclaimer says the department provides certain offender information to the public in the interest of public safety under state statute, updates it regularly, and warrants none of it, with the state and the department keeping their sovereign immunity. The department's home page counts five facilities, three contracted adult community corrections centers and 23 field offices supervising probation and parole across the state, so a locator result means one of those; a person awaiting trial is in a county jail, found through the Wyoming county pages, and the department's crisis line says plainly that it does not serve county jails.
The department's victim services page explains what a sentence in a result means: the records office at the prison reviews the court orders on arrival and calculates the minimum and maximum, credits jail time, and runs consecutive sentences one after another; an inmate may earn good time of up to 15 days a month off both the minimum and the maximum, except on a life or death sentence, depending on conduct, work and programming. Classification by public risk, custody needs, medical and mental health, programming, education and work skills decides the facility.

The five prisons and the three centers
The Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution at 7076 Road 55F, Torrington, 307-532-6600, is the intake and assessment center for every male inmate not sentenced to death, the main education and treatment center for those needing medical, mental health, dental, life skills, cognitive or sex offender treatment, and home to a small number of medium custody women. The Wyoming State Penitentiary in Rawlins, off Interstate 80 at Exit 214, is the high custody facility for general population and administrative segregation, with a correctional industries program and the Youthful Offender Treatment Program, the former boot camp created by the Legislature in 1987 and opened in February 1990, now a 180 day program for first time male offenders under 30 with a court recommendation, up to 45 at a time, whose graduates leave to probation, intensive supervision or a community corrections center with a chance at a sentence reduction; the current prison opened in 1980, the south facility in 2001, and the original 1901 penitentiary is now a museum.
The Wyoming Honor Farm, a mile north of Riverton, established in 1931, is a minimum custody facility of 283 men with the wild horse program begun in 1988. The Wyoming Honor Conservation Camp at 40 Pippen Road, PO Box 160, Newcastle 82701, 307-746-4436, grew from 24 inmates rebuilding modular buildings in 1989 to three dorms of 238 minimum security inmates and a fenced 56 bed intensive treatment unit, housing all custody levels of the female treatment population and minimum custody men.
The Wyoming Women's Center at 1000 West Griffith, Lusk 82225, 307-334-3693, established June 20, 1977 and permanently in Lusk since 1981, holds 261 in the main facility and 32 in its intensive treatment unit after an expansion finished in 2007. The victim services page lists the mailing addresses the department uses, P.O. Box 400, Rawlins 82301 for the penitentiary and boot camp, P.O. Box 300, Lusk 82225 for the women's center and 40 Honor Farm Road, Riverton 82501, and the three contracted centers, the Casper Re-entry Center at 10081 Landmark Lane, Mills, the Cheyenne Transitional Center at 322 W. 17th Street and Volunteers of America Booth Hall at 1299 Raymond Street, Gillette.
Money: Access Corrections, from approved visitors only
The money transfers page routes every deposit through Access Secure Deposits: by toll free phone at 1-866-345-1884 for as little as $3.95, online at accesscorrections.com for as little as $2.95, with all MasterCard and Visa debit and credit cards, or in person at the walk in partners Ace Cash Express and ACH Payment Solutions for a flat $5.95 on any amount up to $300. The page states twice that to deposit money on a Wyoming inmate's account the sender must be on that inmate's approved visitor list.
The department's policy on inmate trust funds, PP 1.109, is among the directives on its policies page, with PP 3.006 on property control, PP 3.404 on access to attorneys and PP 4.001 on admission and orientation.
Visiting: policy 5.400 and the facility schedules
The visitation page posts the inmate visiting policy PP 5.400, the form 531 visitor application in English and Spanish, form 532 for custodial consent to a minor's visit, form 533 on visiting room protocol, form 534 on visiting rules and form 535 summarizing eligibility by status, and then the schedules. At the Honor Conservation Camp in Newcastle men visit on Fridays from 2:30 to 3 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 to 8:30 a.m. and 2 to 2:30 p.m., women on Sundays at the same morning and afternoon times and Mondays from 2:30 to 3 p.m., with a video visitation request form.
At the Women's Center in Lusk visits run Saturday, Sunday and Monday, a morning session for which visitors arrive between 7 and 7:15 a.m. to begin at 7:30, and an afternoon session with arrival between 11:30 and 11:45 to begin at noon, subject to facility operations, with approval and proper attire required and a visit ended early for non compliance. The State Penitentiary posted one set of in person visiting rules in force until November 10, 2026 and another starting that day, with separate video visiting information, and the Honor Farm and the Medium Correctional Institution post their own schedules.
Parole, field services and the people who may be told
Probation and parole are supervised by the Division of Field Services through its 23 field offices, with interstate compact transfers run from the central office at 1934 Wyott Drive, Suite 100, Cheyenne, WY 82002, where physical mail for field services is processed and forwarded; the Board of Parole answers at 307-777-5444. The Victim Notification Program tells victims, immediate surviving family, parents of minor victims and participants in the prosecution about a felon sentenced to a department prison: the start of the sentence and location, anticipated release date, work release, escape and recapture, death, sentence changes, moves including interstate transfers, furloughs and community corrections placement, with parole hearings, grants, revocations and discharges from the Board and pardons and appeals from the Attorney General; it covers no misdemeanant in jail and nobody placed on probation at the outset, needs a signed Notification of Rights and Request Form sent to doc-victim-services@wyo.gov or the prosecutor, and runs beside VINE at 1-866-994-8463, free and confidential in English and Spanish.
The crisis line at 855-602-0772 takes a family member's, friend's or attorney's report of an inmate needing immediate intervention in any of the five prisons or the Casper Therapeutic Community, day and night, with the inmate's location, name, number and what was observed.
Reading a Wyoming result
A result means a sentence in the department's custody, at one of the five prisons or a contracted center, under a name taken from the court file, with the minimum and maximum that good time of up to 15 days a month can shorten; no result means a county jail, probation or release. The deposit needs the sender on the visiting list, the visit needs form 531 and the facility's own schedule, and the penitentiary's rules change on November 10, 2026.
