This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Saginaw Correctional located at 9625 Pierce Rd in Freeland, MI are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

The Saginaw Correctional Facility is a mixed custody state prison that houses about 1,500 level I, II and IV adult male Michigan Department of Correction's inmates. Inmates are separated and placed into custody level units, three of the buildings are level II, three are level IV and one is level I along with buildings for education, programs, administration, food service, health care and maintenance. The entire facility is surrounded by two fences with razor wire in between and on top, electronic detection systems, security cameras, two armed guard towers and a 24-hour armed patrol. Inmates are encouraged to take educational and vocational courses to improve their well being. Educational classes offered are adult basic education and the ability for inmates to earn their GED.

Programming – Academic programming includes special education, General Education Development completion, Adult Basic Education and vocational education, as well as life-role competency programs. This facility is also designated as an MPRI In-Reach facility. Religious and library (law and general) services are provided by institution staff and community volunteers.

Routine medical care is provided on site. Major emergencies are treated at a local hospital or at the Duane L. Waters Health Care in Jackson.

Security – The perimeter of the prison is enclosed by a double, 12-foot fence, topped with razor-ribbon wire. The wire is also installed in the open space between the fences to enhance the barrier. An electronic detection system has been placed on both the inner and outer fences. In 1996, a third fence, with its own electronic detection system, was erected. Security cameras, strategically placed within the prison and around the perimeter, allow 24-hour remote observation and videotaping of prisoner activities. Two gun towers were added in 1997. A perimeter vehicle with armed personnel is on patrol 24 hours a day.
