Michigan State Prison
 Michigan State Prison or Jackson State Prison which opened in 1839 was the first prison in Michigan. The first permanent structure was constructed there in 1842. In 1926 the prison was relocated to new building and soon became the largest walled prison in the world with nearly 6000 inmates. The prison was renamed the State Prison of Southern Michigan in 1935. Beginning in 1988 the prison was carved up into several correctional facilities.
