Coyote Ridge Corrections Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coyote Ridge Corrections Center is a minimum-security prison located in Eastern Washington State. Inmates held here typically have two years or less on their sentences. The prison grounds resemble those of an average community college, complete with landscaping. Inmates sleep in dormitories and grow some of their own food in a small garden on the grounds. Some inmates are allowed to go off-site to work in highly-supervised jobs (including the traditional litter-cleanup).

Currently (as of December 2007), there is a major expansion underway. This expansion will increase the prison population from approximately 500 beds to approximately 2200 beds.
