The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) will cease in-person visiting of prisoners effective immediately for the safety of staff, prisoners and the public. This will also include outside volunteers and other tours and groups who routinely come into the prisons.
The department will monitor the situation to determine when visits will be restored.
During the period without visits, the department is working with its vendors that provide communication services to the prison population on enhanced services that may be able to be offered.
Please see the attached press release.
