Ryan Correctional Facility was a state prison located in Detroit, Michigan, part of the Michigan Department of Corrections. Initially opened in 1991, it served as a medium-security institution for male inmates. The facility was primarily focused on housing prisoners from the Detroit area and surrounding regions, aiming to provide closer proximity for family visits and community reintegration efforts. It offered various educational and vocational programs aimed at inmate rehabilitation and reducing recidivism. However, the facility was closed in 2012 as part of a consolidation effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency within the state’s correctional system. The closure was part of a broader trend of reducing the number of prison beds in Michigan due to declining inmate populations and budget considerations.
