Getting to Ironwood State Prison (ISP): Official Address and How to Use CDCR's Map to Plan Your Trip
Heading to Ironwood State Prison for the first time? Having the exact address and a way to verify the location beforehand can save you real stress. Here's the official address for ISP and how to use CDCR's interactive map to plan your route.
Ironwood State Prison (ISP) is located at 19005 Wiley’s Well Road, Blythe, CA 92225. If you’re plugging it into GPS or a routing app, copy it exactly as written to avoid getting routed to the wrong place.
CDCR's facility-locator page has an interactive map you can use to confirm you're looking at the right spot. Zoom in first - several facilities sit close together, and zooming helps you distinguish between them.
Once you've zoomed in, click the facility marker. A popup displays key details, so you can double-check you're planning around the right institution before you hit the road.
If the map looks crowded, use the slide-out sidebar filter. Click the icon in the top left corner to filter by facility type - it makes narrowing down to what you need much easier.
Note: You can expand the map to full-screen using the icon in the top right. If parts of the page look out of place, try adjusting your browser window - resizing can shift elements around.
