Communication is important, the prison offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The ICF, established in 1987, serves as a correctional institution for male inmates aged 18 and older, with security levels ranging from II to V. The facility comprises five Level V housing units and two Level II housing units. Among the Level V units, two are designated for Administrative Segregation, including Detention and Temporary Segregation cells, while the remaining three units are for general population inmates, one of which houses the START NOW Program. The Level V units feature bi-level, double-winged single-cell structures with day room areas, showers, laundry rooms, staff offices, and fenced-in recreational yards. Administrative Segregation units provide outdoor recreation in single-occupancy security exercise modules.
Level II housing consists of large pole-barn constructions divided into two units, each accommodating 140 beds. These units feature amenities like shower and laundry areas, as well as separate yard areas equipped with recreational facilities such as a weight pit, basketball courts, volleyball, softball, horseshoes, and a running track. Jobs, including employment at a Michigan State Industries factory, are available for Level II prisoners.
Prisoner services and amenities are centralized in various buildings, including classrooms, an auditorium, a gymnasium, a weight room, a barbershop, food service, health care facilities, prisoner property management, maintenance, and administrative offices.
Programming at the facility includes academic offerings like Adult Basic Education, Special Education, General Education Development (GED) completion, and Employment Readiness programs. Treatment services encompass outpatient mental Health Treatment, Counseling, Alcoholics Anonymous groups, religious services, Violence Prevention Program, the Michigan Domestic Violence Program (MiDVP), and Thinking For A Change.
Additionally, the Level II housing hosts the Leader Dogs for the Blind program. Legal and general libraries are available to prisoners. On-site medical and dental care is provided, with emergency cases addressed at Sparrow Ionia Hospital and the Duane L. Waters Health Center in Jackson.
Security measures at the facility include two 12-foot wire fences incorporating a Stun Fence, razor ribbon, gun towers, security surveillance cameras, and a personal alarm system for staff. Enclosed officer's stations segregate each wing within the Level V housing units, while armed personnel patrol the prison perimeter in a patrol vehicle.
ICF maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
