Originally known as Alabama State Penitentiary, Wetumpka State Penitentiary was built in 1841 in Wetumpka, Alabama. The prison was commonly referred to as "The Walls of Alabama" or more simply, "The Walls". Later the prison would become the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women.

In the 19th century the inmates were buried in unmarked graves on the prison grounds.
