Managed by the Wyoming Department of Corrections, the WMCI is a medium security prison. It is specifically designed to serve as the primary intake and assessment center for male inmates not sentenced to death. It will serve as a primary education and treatment center for inmates identified as requiring high levels of protective custody, medical, mental health, dental, substance abuse, life skills, cognitive/behavioral, and/or sex offender treatment services. Total bed space, including infirmary and mental health isolation cells, will be 720.

The Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution is located approximately three miles northeast of Torrington Wyoming. The institution is nestled on 120 acres in rolling grass-covered sand dunes in a rural setting. The area enclosed by security fencing is approximately 21 acres, with the overall size of the building site being about 40 acres.

Two-thirds of the inmate population at WMCI will be housed in this facility for periods of nine months or less. All male inmates sentenced for any felony will be housed at this facility at one time or another. All male inmates coming into the system, who are not sentenced under the death penalty, will be sent to WMCI for an expanded period of intake, assessment and corepcognitive programming. Following this assessment period, inmates will be transferred to other institutions or remain at WMCI according to the prioritized needs of each inmate's case plan.
