    Correctional Facilities Administration
    The Correctional Facilities Administration (CFA) is responsible for the state's prisons, including the Special Alternative Incarceration. CFA has administrative offices in Lansing from which Deputy Director oversees the network of secure facilities. The network is divided into two regions, and each region has a Regional Prison Administrator who has oversight over wardens. At the local level, the wardens oversee daily operations of the prisons. CFA also manages several peripheral aspects of facility operation, including prisoner transportation, food service and classification.
