History
The Huttonsville Correctional Center is located near Huttonsville in Randolph County, Approximately 18 miles south of Elkins, WV on U.S. Route 250. It was created by an act of the Legislature in 1937 to relieve overcrowding at the West Virginia Penitentiary. It remained a branch of the parent institution until 1947, at which time the Legislature established it as a separate entity – the West Virginia Medium Security Prison. In 1970, the center received it’s current name by legislative act.
With the recent completed construction of the new 240 bed addition, the capacity of the Huttonsville Correctional Center is 890. Living quarters at this facility consist of military style dormitories in the original building and single cell housing in the new units. A Behavioral Improvement Unit and an Intake Unit were established upon the opening of the new additions. Huttonsville Correctional Center is the fifth largest employer in Randolph County with a Staff of 300.
