Marquette Branch Prison, Correctional facility in Marquette, Michigan, United States.
The Marquette Branch Prison spans 32 acres on Lake Superior's south shore, featuring maximum and minimum security units for adult male inmates.
Established in 1889 with a budget of 150,000 dollars, the prison addressed overcrowding issues in lower Michigan during the Upper Peninsula's population growth.
The facility implements educational and vocational training programs that focus on inmate rehabilitation and preparation for life after release.
The prison maintains six level-V housing units with enhanced security measures, including guard towers, perimeter fencing, and surveillance systems.
The administration building displays Richardsonian Romanesque architecture constructed with local sandstone, earning recognition in the National Register of Historic Places.
