Pugsley Correctional Facility[1] (MPF) is a Michigan minimum security prison operated by the Michigan Department of Corrections Correctional Facilities Administration (CFA),[2] located between Kingsley, Michigan and Fife Lake 25 miles (40 km) southeast of Traverse City in Grand Traverse County.[3]
Pugsley Correctional Facility sits on 180 acres (0.73 km2); within that area, 23 acres (93,000 m2) are enclosed by two 15.5-foot-high (4.7 m) fences to create a secure perimeter that houses 1,342 adult male prisoners. The facility has minimum security prisoner public works and gate pass assignments.[4]
A security vehicle patrols the property manned by an armed Corrections Officer twenty-four hours per day.
In May 2016, Michigan Department of Corrections announced Pugsley would close in September of the same year as a result of declining prison population within the state.
