In 1997, recognizing the imperative of enhancing security measures, Carson City Correctional Facility took a significant step forward with the installation of two gun towers. These towering sentinels, erected within the facility's perimeter, symbolize the unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of both staff and inmates. With their implementation, the facility bolstered its security infrastructure, fortifying its defenses against potential threats.

The consolidation of Boyer Road Correctional Facility into Carson City Correctional Facility on August 9, 2009, marked a pivotal moment in its history. This amalgamation not only expanded the facility's capacity but also solidified its position as a cornerstone of Michigan's correctional system. It underscored the facility's pivotal role in accommodating and managing the state's inmate population, further amplifying its significance within the broader framework of corrections.

At its core, Carson City CF is designed to house and rehabilitate adult male prisoners under the purview of the Michigan Department of Corrections. The facility comprises seven distinct housing units, each meticulously tailored to accommodate inmates of varying security classifications. Among these units, a dedicated 120-bed facility caters specifically to Level I prisoners, offering a structured environment conducive to their rehabilitation and reintegration. Meanwhile, Level II and Level IV prisoners are housed in units equipped with a total of 720 and 384 beds, respectively, ensuring adequate accommodation for diverse inmate populations. Additionally, a specialized housing unit with 22 beds serves as a segregation facility, providing a secure environment for the management of high-risk inmates.

Security lies at the heart of CCCF's operations, underpinning its mandate to maintain order and safety within its walls. The facility boasts a robust security apparatus, comprising double fences lined with razor-ribbon wire encircling its perimeter. Complementing these physical barriers are two imposing gun towers, positioned strategically to oversee the facility's surroundings and deter potential security breaches. Furthermore, electronic detection systems and patrol vehicles are deployed vigilantly, augmenting perimeter security and ensuring swift response to any emergent threats.

Religious services, overseen by the facility's Chaplain, cater to the spiritual well-being of inmates, fostering a supportive environment for religious expression and exploration. Mental health services are likewise prioritized, with outpatient treatment, peer support initiatives, and specialized units dedicated to addressing mental health disorders and behavioral issues. On-site dental and medical services ensure access to essential healthcare, with additional support available through referrals to external facilities for emergencies and specialized treatments.
