Grande Cache Institution is a medium security prison located in Grande Cache, Alberta.
History[edit]
The facility was opened in 1985 and operated by the province of Alberta (Correctional Services of the Ministry of Solicitor General and Public Security) as the Grande Cache Correctional Centre[1] until 1995. At that time, Correctional Service of Canada took possession of the property under a long-term lease from the province.
While operated by the province of Alberta, the facility housed a Special Housing Unit.
As a federal institution, it was previously operated as a minimum security prison. However, it was converted to medium security in 2009/2010.
