Hello Robin The original prison was on the corner Cooper St and North St and serves as the National Guard Armory today. The original walls still stand as do some of the Buildings. I will research its construction date and let you know. The Southern Michigan State Prison was a replacement and built north of Jackson on Cooper Rd which is the same street/road located at 4000 Cooper Rd also M106 in the beginning there were several prison farms to enable them to supply their own food. I do not presently know when Blackman township was organized but will find out.
