Women's Huron Valley's warden, Jeremy Howard, is taking "personal leave," according to the Michigan Department of Corrections. This comes after the recent deaths of three inmates and scrutiny over alleged poor living conditions within the prison.

Former Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility Corrections Officer, Joshua Lee, was sentenced to 18 months to 15 years’ after pleading guilty to one count of Second-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (State Prisoner).

Following the launch of a new state transparency website claiming "normal" fungal conditions at Michigan’s only women's prison, advocates for ill inmate Krystal Clark issued a open letter demanding her release.

Under growing pressure, Michigan’s Department of Corrections outlines “several deliberate steps in recent weeks to improve conditions” at the state's only prison for women.

Growing concern surrounds the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility after the weekend passing of a 36-year-old prisoner prompted renewed scrutiny from elected officials and advocates. Emergency calls from previous deaths released to Michigan Public, but autopsies are still underway.

Community members and advocates gathered outside Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility demanding immediate action over alleged black mold exposure, medical neglect, and dangerous conditions.

The death of a 28-year-old woman at Michigan’s only women’s prison is drawing renewed scrutiny over conditions inside the facility.

Lawmakers heard scathing testimony about mold and other persistent issues alleged to have jeopardized the health and wellbeing of people incarcerated at the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility.

Disability Rights Michigan, an advocacy organization, found that women incarcerated in Michigan who required an attendant to help push their wheelchairs missed, on average, about half of their meals and many missed doses for prescription medication for seizures, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

MDOC says drugs are still coming in through mail items disguised as confidential legal material. So starting January 5, those documents will be given to inmates as photocopies.
