Prison Description

MCF-Shakopee offers a variety of evidence-based programming that is both gender-responsive and trauma informed. This programming includes cognitive behavioral interventions such as Moving On, Beyond Trauma, and Beyond Violence. It also includes chemical dependency and mental health treatment. Offenders have access to a variety of academic and vocational educational opportunities. MINNCOR Industries provides work opportunities for offenders. Other offenders may also be employed on facility maintenance crews, food service, or other offender programs throughout the facility. Since 1920, Minnesota has housed all of its female offenders at a facility in Shakopee. In 1986, offenders were transferred from the old "women's reformatory" building to a modern correctional facility.
