• Five Camps, Three Prisons to Close The MDOC is reorganizing the utilization of correctional facilities throughout Michigan. This includes the closure of five camps and three prisons. Please see the associated Special Edition F.Y.I. for more information.
• Our Goal The goal of the Michigan Department
of Corrections is to provide the greatest amount of public protection while
making the most efficient use of the State's resources. It meets its goal by ensuring that the state's
judges and other criminal justice administrators have the broadest possible
array of viable sentencing and sanctioning options, and by ensuring that
appropriate supervision is maintained so that Michigan's neighborhoods,
families and citizens can be protected.
