The Bullock Correctional Facility opened during April 1987, with a capacity for 900 inmates. The 100-acre facility is located on US Highway 82, 1.5 miles east of Union Springs. Bullock CF was constructed for $11,216,000.00. The annual operating budget has been around $8,500,000.00.
Bullock’s primary mission is the provision of mental health services. Accordingly, the capacity was increased to 1,078 inmates housed in 23 dormitories a 20 single cells. The single cells are primarily used for inmates under mental health observation and secondarily for administrative and/or disciplinary segregation purposes. Programs and treatment protocols include Intermediate and Intensive Mental Health, substance abuse treatment, adult basic education programs, and daily religious programs.
Additionally, Bullock offers comprehensive medical health care that encompasses mental health, medical, and dental care, to include free-world specialty services.
The facility has a medium security level. Accordingly, the perimeter security has double 18-foot tall chain link fences topped with razor ribbon wire. Additionally, the perimeter is reinforced by an electronic security system. Perimeter security is further augmented by one armed guard tower and an armed perimeter patrol.
