The McNeil Island Corrections Center (MICC) was a Washington State Department of Corrections prison on McNeil Island in unincorporated Pierce County, Washington, near Steilacoom.〔"(Mailing Requirements )".

Opened in 1875, it had previously served as a territorial correctional facility and then a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility. Americans sentenced to terms of imprisonment by the United States courts that operated in China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries served their terms at McNeil Island.〔Peters, E.W. (2011). ''Shanghai Policeman''. Earnshaw Books: Hong Kong. p. 118. ISBN 9789881998385.〕 In the 1910s inmates included Robert Stroud, the "Birdman of Alcatraz", who fatally stabbed a prison guard in March 1916. During World War II, eighty-five Japanese Americans who had resisted the draft to protest their wartime confinement, including civil rights activist Gordon Hirabayashi, were sentenced to prison terms at McNeil; all were pardoned by President Harry S. Truman in 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=McNeil Island Penitentiary (detention facility) )〕 Career criminal and novelist James Fogle was sent to McNeil at the age of 17 in the 1950s.
The state of Washington began to lease the facility from the federal government in 1981, and later that year the state department of corrections began moving prisoners into the facility, named "McNeil Island Corrections Center" by the department. The island was deeded to the state government in 1984.〔"(McNeil Island Corrections Center History )". Washington State Department of Corrections. Retrieved on April 2, 2011.〕
In November 2010, the department announced its plans to close the penitentiary by 2011, saving $14 million in the process.〔Sullivan, Jennifer; Clarridge, Christine "(McNeil Island prison to close next year )". ''The Seattle Times'' (November 20, 2010). Retrieved November 20, 2010.〕
