Located at 4269 W M-80 in Kincheloe, MI, URF carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. URF 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.
Established in 1989, the URF stands as a robust correctional institution catering exclusively to male offenders aged 18 and older. The facility is divided into two sections: the East and West sides, each equipped to accommodate prisoners across varying security levels.
The East side boasts three Level II housing units, each with 240 beds, offering a structured environment for prisoners. Additionally, there's a Level IV housing unit with 192 beds, a Level I unit accommodating 120 individuals, a segregation unit with 96 beds, and a 22-bed detention unit. On the West side, which was formerly the Straits Correctional Facility, dormitory-style Level II housing is available, comprising eight housing units with 140 beds each. The facility infrastructure includes essential components such as an administration building, maintenance department, and warehouse. Furthermore, health care, food service, and program/school facilities are strategically located on both the East and West sides of the institution.
Programming at Chippewa Correctional is comprehensive, encompassing academic and vocational instruction, work assignments, access to general and law library services, group counseling, substance abuse treatment, horticulture, recreational and religious programs, and cognitive behavior restructuring initiatives. The facility prides itself on offering a diverse range of self-help programs, including AA/NA meetings, Substance Abuse (Phase II) counseling, and cognitive restructuring programs such as Thinking for a Change and Violence Prevention, aiding prisoners in managing anger and making informed decisions. Moreover, Chippewa collaborates with Michigan Leader Dogs for the Blind, where trained prisoners raise and train puppies destined to become guide dogs for visually impaired individuals, embodying the rehabilitative nature of animal care.
The religious diversity of the prison population is recognized and accommodated, with provisions made for various faiths. Leisure activities play a vital role in promoting engagement and personal development among prisoners, offering opportunities for recreation, hobby crafting, music, writing, poetry, and art programs.
Prisoners at URF receive comprehensive on-site medical, dental, and mental health care. While routine medical needs are addressed within the facility, serious issues are referred to the department's Duane L. Waters Health Care facility in Jackson, and emergencies are promptly directed to local hospitals.
Security measures at Chippewa Correctional Facility are stringent, with a perimeter fortified by a double chain-link fence equipped with sensor alarms, concertina wire, security cameras, and a response vehicle. These measures underscore the facility's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of both prisoners and staff within its confines.
URF 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.
