School Overview

It is important to clarify a significant distinction regarding the location you provided: **The Mid-Michigan Correctional Facility is not a school, but rather a former state prison.**

Located in St. Louis, Michigan, the Mid-Michigan Correctional Facility (originally known as the Pine River Correctional Facility) served as a medium-security prison operated by the Michigan Department of Corrections. It was opened in 1990 to house male inmates and played a significant role in the local economy of Gratiot County for over two decades.

In 2011, the facility was closed by the State of Michigan as part of a series of budget-driven consolidations and prison closures. Since its decommissioning, the site has remained largely vacant, though it has been the subject of various discussions regarding potential redevelopment or repurposing by local government and private entities. It should not be confused with any educational institution; it is a decommissioned government detention site.
