3084 In what year did the Michigan

State Legislature approve Jackson

as the site for Michigan's First

State Prison?

In 1846, Michigan became the

first known state or territory in

the USA -- and elsewhere in the

world -- to abolish Capital

Punishment. However, now, if

one was condemned to death,

instead, he or she was

condemned to life in solitary.

Fifteen years later, 20 such

prisoners at Jackson were

discovered by inspectors horrified

at the condition of these inmates

suffering from malnutrition, each

of them blind, and several now

insane. The law was changed

from life in solitary, to life in

prison, and the term, lifer,

originated at Michigan's First

State Prison.


3085 What year were the inmates

moved to the new modern prison

north of the City of Jackson?

Cell Block 7 Michigan’s Prison

History Museum is part of the

Southern Michigan Correctional

Facility which was built on 3,469

acres of land and had an enclosed

area of 57.6 acres, thus making

Jackson the home of the World's

Largest Walled Prison for the

second time. Modern day

museum visitors visit the same

cells, walk the same corridors and

pass by the same gun towers as

some of the most hardened

criminals in Michigan's history.
