Alger Correctional Facility (LMF) is a Michigan prison, located in Alger County, for adult male prisoners.

Facility

The prison was opened in 1990 and has six housing units currently used for Michigan Department of Corrections male prisoners 18 years of age and older. Four of the housing units are used by the general prison population, and two are used for segregating inmates from the general prison population. Onsite facilities provide for foodservice, health care, facility maintenance, storage, and prison administration.[1]

Security

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

Until June 2009, the facility housed maximum security prisoners, but was refitted to house lower security Level IV prisoners following the closing of Standish Maximum Correctional Facility.[2][3]

Services

The facility offers libraries, barbering, education programs, substance-abuse treatment, psychotherapy, and religious services. Onsite medical and dental care is supplemented by local community providers, the Brooks Medical Center at Marquette Branch Prison and the Duane L. Waters Hospital in Jackson, Michigan.[1]
