Private prison in Baldwin to close in June

 

More than 100 people will be laid off this summer as the privately run North Lake Correctional Facility in Baldwin closes its doors just two years after reopening.

 

Florida-based GEO Group says the prison will close on June 20th, and the entire workforce will be laid off.

 

In a filing with the State of Michigan, the company says it is closing the prison because the contract to hold the prisoners was not renewed.
