Camp Cusino was created in 1951. It is located one mile west of Shingleton Michigan. The camp was officially called the Cusino Corrections Prison Work Camp and was part of the Corrections Conservation Prison Camp Program in the State of Michigan. The name Cusino was taken from a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp that was located four miles east of Melstrand Michigan. In 1951 some of the CCC buildings were moved to Shingleton for the prison camp.
