Facility
West Shoreline Correctional Facility was opened in 1987 as a temporary prison. It is one of three facilities for male prisoners in Muskegon and shares operations with Earnest C. Brooks Correctional Facility and Muskegon Correctional Facility. Until the early 2000s, it was known as Muskegon Temporary Facility. The facility has eight housing units, each with 120 beds, used for Michigan Department of Corrections male prisoners 18 years of age and older. Onsite facilities provide for foodservice, health care, facility maintenance, storage, prison administration, and mail room services.
In 1991, the facility was converted from a Level II facility to a Secure Level I facility.
Security
The facility is surrounded by two fences with razor-ribbon wire. Electronic detection systems and patrol vehicles are also utilized to maintain perimeter security.
Services
The facility offers libraries, education programs, substance-abuse treatment, sex offender treatment, and religious services. Onsite medical and dental care is supplemented by local hospitals and the Duane L. Waters Hospital in Jackson, Michigan.
