BELLAMY CREEK CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility is a public high school that is part of the Michigan Department of Corrections school district, located in IONIA, MI with about 14 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade.

Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility (BCF) is a multi-custody state prison located in Ionia, Michigan, operated by the Michigan Department of Corrections. Opened in 2001, the facility is designed to house a significant population of male prisoners across various security levels, ranging from Level I (minimum) to Level IV (maximum). As one of several correctional institutions clustered in the Ionia area, Bellamy Creek serves as a major hub for the state’s incarcerated population, focusing on secure confinement while managing the daily logistical needs of thousands of inmates.

Beyond its primary function of housing and security, the facility integrates various rehabilitative and operational programs aimed at prisoner management. This includes medical and mental health services, vocational training, and work assignments that assist in the facility's day-to-day maintenance. Because it functions as a high-security institution, the facility operates under strict protocols regarding visitation, security screening, and staff conduct, serving as a critical component of Michigan’s broader penal infrastructure.
