Minnesota Correctional Facilities Advisory Committee

The Minnesota Correctional Facilities Advisory Committee is a body that provides guidance and recommendations to the state's Department of Corrections regarding the management, operations, and policies of correctional facilities. Its purpose is to ensure that prisons operate effectively, safely, and humanely, while also considering the needs of staff, inmates, and the community. The committee may review facility conditions, suggest improvements, and help shape policies to enhance public safety and inmate rehabilitation. It serves as a bridge between the department and the community to promote transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in correctional practices.
