Located at 1728 Bluewater Hwy in Ionia, MI, MTU carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. MTU offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
MTU, established in 1958 and named after its first warden Richard A. Hanlon, operates under the philosophy that providing education and marketable skills to prisoners enhances their chances of successful reintegration into society. The facility, located in Michigan, exclusively houses male inmates aged 18 and older at a Security Level II classification.
The facility offers specialized programs tailored to meet the needs of specific prisoner populations:
Programming at Handlon Correctional focuses on modifying self-destructive behaviors and fostering positive thought processes. The academic program encompasses Adult Basic Education, GED preparation, and the Calvin Prison Initiative program, which provides liberal arts education in ministry leadership.
The facility also hosts the Vocational Village program, a unique skilled trades training initiative aimed at providing a positive learning environment for prisoners serious about pursuing career and technical education. Graduates receive assistance from facility staff in securing employment upon release, with many having job arrangements prior to parole.
Supplemental programs focus on teaching job skills, health education, and independent living skills to prisoner workers. Recreation and leisure time programs aim to enhance team-building skills, while religious services cater to the spiritual needs of all recognized religious groups.
Healthcare services, including medical, mental health, and dental care, are provided on-site, with emergencies referred to local hospitals and serious medical issues addressed at the MI DOC’s Duane L. Waters Health Center in Jackson.
Security measures include a perimeter secured by a double chain-link fence, concertina wire, and an electronic detection system, ensuring the safety and security of staff and inmates alike.
MTU 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.
