School Overview
The Chippewa Correctional Facility (URF), located in Kincheloe, Michigan, is a high-security state prison operated by the Michigan Department of Corrections. It serves as a multi-custody facility, housing male inmates across various security levels, ranging from Level I (minimum) to Level IV (close/maximum). Situated on the site of the former Kincheloe Air Force Base, the prison is one of the largest correctional complexes in the state, designed to prioritize safety and security while managing a significant incarcerated population.

Beyond its focus on secure confinement, the facility offers a variety of rehabilitative and educational programs aimed at preparing inmates for eventual reentry into society. These services include academic instruction, vocational training, and mental health support, all intended to provide individuals with the skills necessary to reduce recidivism. Despite its correctional mission, the facility serves as a major employer and economic pillar for the surrounding Upper Peninsula community.
