Westville Correctional Facility

Westville Correctional Facility is a prison in Indiana divided into multiple security levels spread across a large campus. The institution houses thousands of people and maintains separate areas for different security requirements and programs.

The site opened in 1951 as Beatty Memorial Hospital serving psychiatric patients and became a correctional facility in 1979. This transformation changed the entire purpose and use of the complex.

Educational programs run through partnerships with nearby colleges aim to support people in custody pursuing learning and personal growth. This focus on education shapes how the facility functions and the opportunities available to those inside.

Visitors must complete registration through ViaPath before arranging visits to the facility. Updates about visitation policies and any changes are shared on the official Facebook page.

The facility operates an on-site manufacturing shop in partnership with an outside company. This setup allows people in custody to learn trades and earn money through productive work.
