Ahtanum View Correction Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahtanum View Correction Center is Washington's Convalescent Hospital for Convicts. It is where inmates that have long term care issues are incarcerated. These can be issues relating to age or long term health care needs.

Located in Yakima, Washington, Ahtanum View is Washington's answer to its aging inmate population. Like most convalescent facilities, AVCC's primary mission is to warehouse the aged and disabled incarcerated in the penal system.
