Located on the East Canon Complex, the Canon Minimum Centers (CMC) comprises two geographically separate Level II facilities, Arrowhead Correctional Center (ACC) and Four Mile Correctional Center (FMCC) which operate under one administration.
Opened in 1989, ACC is a Level II, Minimum Restricted Facility housing 520 inmates. ACC strives to ensure a safe and secure environment for the protection of the public, DOC employees, contract workers, volunteers, and inmates while providing skilled, meaningful programs, training, and work assignments for inmates in preparation for successful return to society.
ACC offers a wide range of programming designed to prepare inmates for re-entry into society including academic and specialized vocational training and numerous other life-skill opportunities. ACC inmates benefit from work assignments in facility programs, labor crews, and supporting Correctional Industries in areas such as Canteen, Service Station, Transportation, and K9.
The Drug and Alcohol Therapeutic Community located at ACC is an ACA accredited program providing special housing and program arrangements. Work sites exclusively for program participants are Food Services and the Correctional Industries programs. The atmosphere at ACC and the Therapeutic Community is highly conducive to affording participants the opportunity to progress through a very effective and rewarding program with positive reinforcement, support and guidance from work supervisors, correctional and program staff.
