About Cheyenne Transitional Center - CoreCivic

Cheyenne Transitional Center - CoreCivic is a residential reentry center (RRC) — also known as a halfway house — located in Wyoming. The facility has a capacity of approximately 126 beds. Reentry centers are designed to help individuals transition from incarceration back into the community in a safe, structured, and supported environment. They serve as a bridge between prison and full independence.

A Reentry Management Program (RMP) is a supervised process administered by federal and state agencies to support inmates returning to everyday life. Residential Reentry Centers provide housing, supervision, employment assistance, and life skills programming during this critical transition phase. Research consistently shows that inmates placed in RRCs have significantly lower rates of recidivism than those released directly to the community without support.

Cheyenne Transitional Center - CoreCivic provides employment counseling, financial management assistance, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and housing placement support. The goal is to help residents build stability, find and maintain employment, and reconnect with family and community.
