While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
The Minnesota Correctional Facility – Shakopee is a women-only state prison in Scott County, it is Minnesota's only facility for housing female offenders. MCF-Shakopee is home to 500+ women of all five custody levels. The Facility consists of ten buildings, including six inmate living areas (including a chemical dependency treatment unit, parenting unit, and education unit), a mental health unit and a segregation facility, an industries building, and administration and engineering-related buildings.
The prison previously had no perimeter fence or wall, only a hedge surrounding the property until 2016. This was after a bonding bill passed by the legislature of Minnesota in 2014 allowing for the erection of a twelve-foot fence to surround the prison. Despite previously having no fence or wall, only eight prisoners were able to escape but all were later caught.
MCF-Shakopee is home to a chemical dependency treatment unit, a program that promotes and teaches good parenting skills and was formerly home to a work-release style program for women. Cosmetology, office support classes, as well as several college courses are also offered to the women.
