The Northwest Regional Corrections Center is a locally operated low to medium-security regional detention center situated at 816 Marin Ave in Crookston, MN. This facility houses inmates from multiple surrounding counties that do not have a holding facility or jail, in addition to local detainees. Individuals awaiting trial or sentencing, as well as those serving shorter sentences, typically serve less than five years. Northwest Regional Corrections Center accommodates detainees brought in by the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the Minnesota DOC, Crookston Police Department, and other nearby law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
New detainees arrive frequently and may be released on bail, under pretrial supervision, or on their recognizance with a commitment to appear in court. Those who remain in custody receive essential amenities, including secure accommodations, meals, and access to necessary services. To review recent arrest records for Minnesota, you can access public records here.
Tri-County Community Corrections (TCCC), established in 1976 through Joint Powers Legislation, provides correctional services to the Sheriff Departments of Norman, Polk, and Red Lake Counties in northwestern Minnesota. The TCCC offers a comprehensive range of services, including adult and juvenile probation and parole supervision, adult detention facilities, juvenile residential and detention facilities, and community programs such as the Sentence-to-Service (STS) and Chore Service Programs. These initiatives aim to enhance public safety, facilitate offender rehabilitation, and support community integration.
The Northwest Regional Corrections Center (NWRCC), located in Crookston, Minnesota, operates under the administration of TCCC, overseen by Jail Administrator Joey Pederson. Classified as a Class III facility by the Minnesota Department of Corrections, NWRCC has the capacity to house up to 200 inmates. It employs a direct supervision model, featuring three 60-bed housing units—Alpha, Beta, and Delta/Omega—and a special management unit known as Sigma. This design emphasizes active inmate management to maintain a safe and secure environment for inmates, staff, and visitors.
The TCCC/NWRCC has published a 23-page Inmate Handbook for detainees, who are primarily adult offenders from the tri-county area. This includes individuals awaiting trial, serving short-term sentences, or detained for probation or parole violations. The facility houses an average daily population of approximately 141 inmates, both male and female, with common offenses including controlled substance violations, driving while intoxicated (DWI), failure to appear in court, and probation or parole violations.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
Books and magazines 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. The Jail enforces 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.
Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
Inmate workers are selected for community service programs based on their demonstrated good conduct, cooperation with facility staff, and adherence to institutional rules. These criteria ensure that only individuals who exhibit responsibility, reliability, and a commitment to positive behavior are allowed to participate. Participation in these programs not only benefits the community through valuable labor contributions but also offers inmates the chance to develop a strong work ethic, learn transferable job skills, and build a sense of accountability.
In certain cases, involvement in community service programs can contribute to a reduction in an inmate's sentence. This incentive reinforces the importance of maintaining good behavior while incarcerated and highlights the program's dual role in supporting both the community and the inmate's journey toward reintegration.
