Background

Ahtanum View Corrections Center was a convalescent hospital for inmates operated by the Washington State Department of Corrections. Located in Yakima, Washington, the facility was classified as a minimum security prison with capacity for 120 inmates who required medical assistance or long-term treatment, including age or intense healthcare. It opened in July 1997 at the former Yakima County tuberculosis sanitarium and also housed a work release facility with 60 beds. The unisex facility was established to reduce capacity issues at infirmaries at higher-security prisons in a cost-effective manner for lower-risk inmates. The two-story building was purchased by the state government in 1993 and renovated at a cost of $6.5 million.
