The state's system provides a wide range of security levels to appropriately supervise all types of prisoners. Most of the state's prisons were built between 1985 and 1990. Except for Level V and VI, most prisoners are housed two to a room or in open multiple bunk bed settings. All prisons provide a secure perimeter, electronic detection systems, a perimeter road and alert response vehicles to patrol the perimeter. Level III and above prisons also have gun towers.
All camps have fences, special razor ribbon, and some have electronic detection systems.
Eventually all camps will have electronic detection systems. Table of Contents for Prisons 1. Prisoners in Michigan 2. The state's prisons 3. Making education a priority 4.
