Divisions
=Correctional Facilities Administration=
The state secure-facilities network supervises a diverse offender population. The physical plants also span centuries, from the Michigan Reformatory in Ionia (built in the late 1870s) to the modern Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility, which was completed in 2001.
= Prisons =
{{Further|List of Michigan state prisons}}
As of January 2017, thirty-one DOC facilities are open and in operation.{{cite web| title = Prison Directory| work = Michigan Department of Corrections| access-date = 2015-01-10|url=http://michigan.gov/corrections/0,4551,7-119-68854_1381_1385---,00.html}}
The prisons are categorized into different security levels. A Secure Level I facility houses prisoners who are more easily managed within the network (even though they may have committed violent crimes). The state's Level V prisons house prisoners who pose maximum management problems, are a maximum security risk, or both. Prisons may have more than one security level.{{cite web | title = Glossary | publisher = Michigan Department of Corrections | work = michigan.gov | access-date = 2015-07-28 | url = http://www.michigan.gov/corrections/1,1607,7-119-1441_1519---,00.html }}
