A former juvenile corrections facility in Baldwin could become a prison for immigrants.
In a press release, State Sen. Curt VanderWall (R-Ludington) said the current owners of the shuttered North Lake Correctional Facility received a 10-year federal contract. It would allow Geo Group, Inc. to hold non-U.S. citizens for immigration offenses and other crimes.
VanderWall says it would bring more than 300 jobs to the area.
