The West Shoreline Correctional Facility closed March 24, 2018. It was one of three in a complex of facilities for male offenders. As part of a complex, it shared some operations with the other facilities. West Shoreline is a Michigan Prisoner Re-entry Initiative in-reach facility. The MPRI program is designed to work with Michigan communities and private agencies to assist prisoners to successfully re-enter society. Academic programs consist of Adult Basic Education and General Education Development completion. Vocational programs are available in office occupations. Other programs include sex-offender treatment, substance-abuse treatment and religious services. Prisoners are provided with on-site routine medical and dental care. Serious problems are treated at the department's Duane L. Waters Health Care in Jackson, and emergencies can be referred to a local hospital. The perimeter includes two fences with rolls of razor-ribbon wire on the side and top of the exterior fence. The fence area is also monitored by a series of sensors that detect anyone approaching them. A vehicle, with armed personnel, patrols the perimeter constantly.
