Lakin Correctional Center (LCC) is a women's prison in the community of Lakin in unincorporated Mason County, West Virginia.
[1] It is on a portion of former Lakin State Hospital property,[2] on West Virginia Route 62, in proximity to West Columbia, 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Point Pleasant,[3] and 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the Army National Guard armory.
A factory building and two minimum security housing facilities were built in 2005 and 2006.
[2] In a period prior to 2015 the WVDOC considered converting Lakin into a men's prison and moving women to another prison in Sugar Grove.
On September 4, 2015, Governor of West Virginia Earl Ray Tomblin stated that a section of the property of the nearby armory could be used as a satellite for Lakin; area residents opposed this move.
