This maximum-security facility is located approximately 70 kilometers from Sept-Iles. It was opened in the fall of 1988, to take inmates from Laval Institution, which was closing down. Port-Cartier replaced Laval Institution, better known as the "old St-Vincent-de-Paul Institution". The institution also houses protective custody inmates, that is, offenders who must be isolated from the general population because of the nature of their crimes(sex offences and other crimes not accepted in the local inmate culture) and offenders who are having problems with other inmates. 1, record 10, English, - Port%2DCartier%20Institution

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. 1, record 11, English, - Millhaven%20Institution

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. 1, record 11, French, - %C3%89tablissement%20de%20Millhaven
