Additional staff were added to provide custody support services for the Department of Corrections' psychiatric hospital, Huron Valley Center, which is run under contract by the Michigan Department of Community Health. Prisoners housed in general population and some prisoners in the residential treatment program attend classes in the school building. The classes include Adult Basic Education, Special Education and General Education Development preparation. Prisoners also have access to religious programs. All prisoners have access to a general library and law library.
Prisoners can also participate in substance-abuse treatment programming.
The facility provides custodial maintenance as a vocational educational program. Prisoners are provided with on-site routine medical and dental care. Serious problems are treated at the department's Duane L. Waters Hospital in Jackson. Emergencies can be referred to a local hospital. Mental health professionals determine whether a prisoner is mentally ill and recommend the appropriate treatment.
