According to the Michigan Department of Corrections, James Crumbley was sent to the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson. The all-adult male facility is responsible for intake processing before inmates are transported to a general population prison.
The Crumbleys will be in prison until December 2036 but could be released as early as December 2031 after already serving more than two years.
They were each sentenced on April 9 to 10 to 15 years in prison for four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the Nov. 30, 2021, shooting that killed four students: Madisyn Baldwin, Justin Shilling, Tate Myre and Hana St. Juliana. Seven others, including a teacher, were injured.
Their son, who was sent to the Thumb Correctional Facility, is serving a life sentence.
During their trials, witnesses testified that James Crumbley purchased a gun that his son used in the shooting, and the parents failed to get their son help when notified by school staff.
