Hohhot No. 4 Prison (Chinese: 呼和浩特第四监狱)is located in Ba Kouzi Village, Youyouban Town, Huimin District, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, at the southern foot of the Daqing Mountains. The prison covers an area of 150 mu (approximately 24.7 acres). It is the prison in western Inner Mongolia specifically designated for housing elderly, infirm, and disabled inmates.

Originally the division for elderly, sick, and disabled prisoners within the Laowopu Prison of Inner Mongolia, it was officially upgraded to a standalone prison with government approval in 1998 and was initially named Tumote Prison.[1] In 2003, it was renamed Hohhot No. 4 Prison.[2]

The prison is composed of 10 administrative departments, 6 prison wards, a hospital, a riot control unit, and a guard unit.

The prison-run enterprise, Hohhot No. 4 Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., primarily engages in garment manufacturing and electronic component processing.
