Located in Memphis, the Mark H. Luttrell Correctional Center is one of two female facilities in the state prison system. The facility was opened in 1976 as a male institution and was converted to a female institution in June, 1999.
MLCC offers a variety of programs to inmates including drug and alcohol awareness support groups, therapeutic community programs and a dog training program called PPAWS, which is designed to help rehabilitate inmates while teaching them a marketable job skill.
