Westville State Prison Project

under construction

A $1.2 billion project spanning 1.4 million square feet, the new Westville State Prison (WSP) is the most ambitious state building project ever in Indiana. The facility is designed to meet the needs of incarcerated individuals with an emphasis on reducing recidivism, including 240 beds dedicated to mental health and addiction recovery. The campus includes 28 buildings over roughly 90 acres with housing, administrative, program, medical, security, food services, and recreation facilities. The project features steel modular cells, state-of-the-art security electronics, and an efficient central utility plant. It is funded entirely by cash reserves to avoid borrowing and is set to open in early 2027 on time and on budget.
