About
Autry State Prison (Jimmy Autry SP) is a medium-security men’s prison in Pelham. Opened in the early 1990s, it was designed with a large number of double-bunked cell units plus dormitory-style housing and segregation/isolation cells. The facility has historically housed many close-custody and sex-offender populations and offers limited vocational industries (including footwear manufacturing) along with basic education, counseling, and religious programs.
