McNeil Island Corrections Center

McNeil Island Corrections Center
McNeil Island Penitentiary in 1937

The McNeil Island Corrections Center (MICC) was a Washington State Department of Corrections prison on McNeil Island and in unincorported Pierce County, Washington, near Steilacoom.[1]

Opened in 1875, it had previously served as a territorial correctional facility and then a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility. The state of Washington began to lease the facility from the federal government in 1981, and later that year the state department of corrections began moving prisoners into the facility, named "McNeil Island Corrections Center" by the department. The island was deeded to the state government in 1984.[2]

Prior to its closing on April 1, 2011, it was the last remaining island prison in the country. In November 2010, the department announced its plans to close the penitentiary by 2011 and saving $14 million in the process.[3]
