Draper, UT Utah State Prison (USP) View
Utah State Prison (USP) in Draper, Utah, was a state correctional facility operated by the Utah Department of Corrections. State prisons generally hold people sentenced to state custody, along with some inmates transferred for classification, treatment, or other correctional needs. They are different from county jails, which usually hold recent arrests and many pretrial detainees. Utah’s main prison operations have moved from the Draper site, so current custody information should be verified through official Utah Department of Corrections resources.
