Mound Correctional Facility was a state prison located in Detroit, Michigan, despite its address sometimes being associated with Hamtramck due to postal boundaries. The facility was operated by the Michigan Department of Corrections. It opened in 1994 and primarily housed male inmates. The prison was designed to hold medium-security prisoners and included various programs aimed at rehabilitation, education, and vocational training. However, Mound Correctional Facility was closed in 2012 as part of a state initiative to reduce costs and consolidate resources within the prison system. After its closure, the property was left unused for several years, and the site has been considered for various redevelopment projects.
