Unveiling a monumental leap, the East Bellamy Creek Facility stands as an innovative 1788-bed, Level IV maximum security correctional hub sprawling across 82 acres in Ionia, Michigan.
This facility comprises 7 housing units, each spanning 28,892 sq.ft., ingeniously designed to accommodate approximately 122 double-bunked cells (240 prisoners), totaling 1680 inmates. Alongside these units, essential structures include the Administration Building (27,016 sq.ft.), a versatile Support Services Building (encompassing medical/dental and kitchen/dining facilities, covering 35,506 sq.ft.), an Education/Gymnasium Building (spanning 31,454 sq.ft.), and a Warehouse/Water Treatment Building (19,991 sq.ft.). Complementing the ensemble are two smaller outbuildings. The complex is fortified by fences adorned with razor-ribbon and patrolled by armed staff, underpinned by vigilant gun towers for enhanced monitoring. This visionary facility encapsulates not only contemporary correctional requirements but also exemplifies the apex of security and operational excellence.
