History

The prison was opened in 1991 and is named after the Michigan Department of Corrections's first director, Gus Harrison.[1]

On August 9, 2009, Parr Highway Correctional Facility was consolidated into Gus Harrison Correctional Facility.[2]

In early 2021, the facility was fined $6,300 over serious violations of Coronavirus regulations.[3] At the time 187 employees had tested positive to the virus and one had died; in addition, 1465 prisoners tested positive and seven had died.[3]

Facility

The prison has six housing units[4] used for Michigan Department of Corrections male prisoners 18 years of age and older.[1]

Security

The facility is surrounded by double fences with razor-ribbon wire and two gun towers. Electronic detection systems and patrol vehicles are also utilized to maintain perimeter security.[1]

Services

The facility offers libraries, group counseling, substance-abuse treatment, and education programs. Onsite medical and dental care is supplemented by local hospitals and the Duane L. Waters Hospital in Jackson, Michigan.[1]

Notable inmates
  • Chad Curtis, former major league baseball player convicted of sexual assault against three girl high school students.[5]
