This maximum-security facility is located approximately 70 kilometers from Sept-Iles. It was opened in the fall of 1988. It has an infrastructure similar to Donnacona and accommodates long-term segregation cases. The institution also houses protective custody inmates, that is, offenders who must be isolated from the general population because of the nature of their crimes (sex offences and other crimes not accepted in the local inmate culture) and offenders who are having problems with other inmates. Port- Cartier has 243 cells in three cell blocks. Thirty cells are reserved for long-time segregation cases.
