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 1983, FMCC is a Level II, Minimum Restricted Facility housing 521 Inmates. FMCC 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.
FMCC offers a wide range of programming designed to prepare Inmates for re-entry into society including academic and specialized vocational training as well as numerous other life-skill opportunities. Specialized vocational programs at FMCC include the Gladiator Program instructed by specialized iron workers of the National and State Iron Workers Union, CDL Operating Training program, HVAC and Electrical Systems. The primary employment of FMCC Inmates supports the Canon Warehouse and Correctional Industries operations such as the Dairy, K9, Heavy Equipment, WHIP, CI Food Service and Grounds, and Housekeeping.
