Gus Harrison Correctional Facility (ARF) is a Michigan prison, in Adrian, for adult male prisoners.
The prison was opened in 1991 and is named after the Michigan Department of Corrections's first director, Gus Harrison.[1]
On August 9, 2009, Parr Highway Correctional Facility was consolidated into Gus Harrison Correctional Facility.[2]
In early 2021, the facility was fined $6,300 over serious violations of Coronavirus regulations.[3] At the time 187 employees had tested positive to the virus and one had died; in addition, 1465 prisoners tested positive and seven had died.
The prison has six housing units[4] used for Michigan Department of Corrections male prisoners 18 years of age and older.
The facility is surrounded by double fences with razor-ribbon wire and two gun towers. Electronic detection systems and patrol vehicles are also utilized to maintain perimeter security.
The facility offers libraries, group counseling, substance-abuse treatment, and education programs. Onsite medical and dental care is supplemented by local hospitals and the Duane L. Waters Hospital in Jackson, Michigan.
