OBS

Bath, Ontario. Millhaven was opened prematurely in April 1971 as a result of the riot at Kingston Penitentiary, which Millhaven was originally intended to replace. During the period 1977-1984, Millhaven operated a Special Handling Unit(SHU) along with its general maximum-security population. In 1990, it commenced its current dual role, housing a reception facility, as well as a general maximum-security population. In addition to providing reception services for the Ontario Region, Millhaven Institution is one of two facilities within the region that houses a maximum-security population. The facility consists of three administration buildings and three living unit buildings. Current master plan developments will attempt to address operational issues that arose as a result of inmate disturbances over an extended period.

OBS

Bath, Ontario. Millhaven a ouvert ses portes prématurément, en avril 1971, à la suite de l'émeute survenue au pénitencier de Kingston, que Millhaven était censé remplacer au départ. Entre 1977 et 1984, Millhaven a administré une unité spéciale de détention (USD) en plus de sa population carcérale générale dite à sécurité maximale. En 1990, l'établissement a commencé à jouer son double rôle actuel : celui du centre de réception et d'établissement à sécurité maximale pour la population carcérale générale. En plus d'offrir des services de réception pour la région de l'Ontario, l'établissement de Millhaven est l'un des deux établissements de la région à accueillir une population dite à sécurité maximale.
