Michigan Incarcerated Veterans’ In-Reach Program (MIVIP) provides pre-release education, employment assistance and career guidance to incarcerated Veterans at seven correctional facilities in Michigan.

The Veterans’ Employment Services team, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Corrections and the Michigan Works! network, helps provide pre-release education, employment assistance and career guidance to incarcerated veterans at seven correctional facilities in Michigan.  MIVIP was designed to complement the established programs of each correctional facility which include basic adult education, GED certificate, violence prevention, substance abuse and counseling to address underlying mental health issues.

The program builds on those services to provide intensive employment-readiness training. Veterans also receive post-release wrap-around services to help ensure each participant’s success and reduce recidivism.

Correctional facilities where MIVIP is provided:

Carson City Correctional Facility / Cooper Street Correctional Facility / G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility / Parnall Correctional Facility/ Saginaw Correctional Facility / St. Louis Correctional Facility / Huron Valley Women’s Correctional Facility
