About
Walker State Prison in Rock Spring is a medium-security men’s facility opened in 1972 with about 12 open dormitories. In addition to housing standard felony populations and some probation violators, Walker is known for hosting a residential substance-abuse treatment (RSAT) program and an intensive faith- and character-based initiative that attempts to create a more therapeutic, mentorship-driven environment. Despite that reputation, it still operates under the constraints of a traditional state prison with limited resources and staffing.
