Located at 17601 Mound Rd in Detriot, MI, DDC carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. DDC 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.
The DDC operates within the premises of the former Mound Correctional Facility on Mound Rd, which was closed in January 2012. This facility functions under an interagency agreement between the Detroit Police Department and the Michigan Department of Corrections, providing temporary holding for pre-arraigned detainees aged 17 or older in the City of Detroit for up to 72 hours.
Upon arrival at the DDC, detainees undergo booking and fingerprinting by MDOC employees and are subsequently prosecuted by either the 36th District Court or the 34th District Court.
The DDC currently utilizes two buildings on the premises. Building 100 serves as the Administrative Building for DDC staff while Building 500 is designated for holding detainees. Building 100 is also utilized by the Detroit Police Department for initial arrestee intake, suspect interviews, line-ups, and other detective duties. Although department policies governing prisoners do not apply to detainees at the DDC, regulations concerning personnel matters, custody and security measures, use of force, physical plant requirements, and other non-prisoner-related matters remain in effect.
Situated on 39 acres, the former Mound Correctional was previously owned by Daimler Chrysler Corporation for storing new cars before shipping. Now, it houses buildings for various purposes, including educational programs, food services, health services, and administrative functions. The complex, encompassing both Mound and Ryan Correctional Facilities, spans a total of 78 acres and is separated from the community by buffer fencing, planting berms, and perimeter security fences.
DDC serves as a Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative (MPRI) facility, accommodating up to 120 offenders in the program at a time. MPRI offers a range of programming to assist prisoners with their reintegration into the community. Academic programs at DDC include special and remedial education leading to General Education Development (GED) certification, with a priority on developing reading skills to at least the eighth-grade level. Career and technical education programs cover areas such as horticulture, building maintenance, building trades, and computer literacy.
Volunteers play a crucial role in providing religious and other life enrichment programs to prisoners, as is common across Michigan prisons. Minor healthcare services are available onsite, while serious cases are referred to the Duane Waters Health Center in Jackson, MI, or local facilities.
In terms of security, DDC is equipped with four gun towers, double 12-foot fences topped with coiled stainless steel razor ribbon wire, and an electronic detection system within the inner security fence. An armed vehicle patrols the perimeter around the clock in response to emergencies, while buffer fences help maintain separation between the facility and the surrounding area.
DDC 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.
