Located at 1000 Lake Shore Dr in Moose Lake, MN, MCF Moose Lake carefully assigns inmates based on their custody level, considering factors like criminal history. MCF Moose Lake offers diverse educational and vocational programs aimed at equipping offenders for successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism. Through these initiatives, inmates gain skills and confidence, fostering personal growth and resilience.
MCF-Willow River/Moose Lake comprises two facilities: a medium-security prison in Moose Lake housing around 1,000 men, and a minimum-security Challenge Incarceration Program (CIP) facility in Willow River accommodating approximately 180 individuals. The conversion of MCF-Moose Lake from the former Moose Lake Regional Treatment Center began in 1988.
Job opportunities for incarcerated individuals are diverse and aimed at providing valuable skills for post-release employment. MINNCOR Industries operates a textile/garment plant and a state-of-the-art print shop, offering training and employment in manufacturing. Additionally, employment opportunities exist in maintenance, educational tutoring, clerical work, and food services.
Educational opportunities are prioritized, with a focus on individuals without a high school diploma or GED. These individuals are placed in educational classes to achieve this milestone before accessing vocational or employment programs. Vocational education is also offered in areas such as carpentry, telecommunications, computer literacy, and technology, as well as post-secondary educational opportunities.
MCF-WR/ML emphasizes the importance of programming for incarcerated individuals, offering both mandated and optional programs based on individual assessments. Participation in these programs not only benefits the individuals but also contributes to the well-being of society. Examples of available programs include chemical dependency treatment, restorative justice groups, character-building groups, parenting classes, transition planning for release, the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop, workplace and human relations classes focusing on "soft" job skills, and library and recreational activities.
MCF Moose Lake maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
