Michigan Department of Corrections

Mission of the Michigan Department of Corrections

The goal of the Michigan Department of Corrections is to provide the greatest amount of public protection while making the most efficient use of the State's resources. It meets its goal by ensuring that the state's judges and other criminal justice administrators have the broadest possible array of viable sentencing and sanctioning options, and by ensuring that appropriate supervision is maintained so that Michigan's neighborhoods, families and citizens can be protected.

Role of the Michigan Department of Corrections in the Weed & Seed Program

The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) is responsible for the sanctioning and supervision of convicted offenders.  The strategy of the MDOC naturally fits in with the 'weeding out' of crime within the designated Central City site and assists law enforcement efforts in the area.
