General
The prison has five housing units, each containing two floors; a school; a recreation building; an infirmary; a power plant; and a food service facility, which also services Huron Valley Complex-Women, Camp Valley, and the Forensic Center.
The majority of prisoners have serious mental illness and cannot function adequately in a general prison population. They receive evaluations and treatment services from the Michigan Department of Community Health under a cooperative agreement and are classified into acute care, rehabilitation treatment services, or residential treatment programs. A small cadre of general population prisoners also reside at the facility, working in food service, the barber shop, etc.
Programming
A wide range of therapeutic programs is offered, as are Adult Basic Education, Special Education, General Education Development preparation, and one vocational program (custodial maintenance). Prisoners also have access to religious programs, general library and law library.
Prisoners are provided on-site routine medical and dental care. Medical emergencies are referred to a local hospital.
Security
The prison is surrounded by two 12-foot fences with razor ribbon wire and a special electronic detection system. Vehicles with armed personnel patrol the perimeter.
