While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The origins of Westville CF trace back to the establishment of Beatty Memorial Hospital, a mental health facility, in 1951. Named after Dr. Norman Beatty, an advocate for mental health services, the hospital served the community until 1974 when a lawsuit prompted the state to convert it into a prison due to prison overcrowding. Under Governor Otis Bowen's leadership, the facility underwent renovations and expansions, eventually reopening as Westville Correctional Facility in July 1979. In 1991, a Maximum Control Complex was added, expanding the capacity to over 3,400 incarcerated individuals. The facility prioritizes community service and re-entry programs, fostering partnerships with organizations like Gold Standard Truss for vocational training and the Moreau College Initiative in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame and Holy Cross College to provide educational opportunities for inmates.
