DOC Transitions Fairs provide an opportunity for our incarcerated population to connect 1:1 with community partners across state of MN who offer release services and support. Community partners invited to participate included services around: housing, employment, education, healthcare, identification, and overall community support navigation.
We are very excited for our 2025 Transitions Fairs at our MN Correctional Facilities! While the outline of these important events will remain similar to previous years, we will be making some adjustments to account for the many changes within facility operations over the course of the last year.
Thank you for your understanding of our process to gain access into our Minnesota Correctional Facilities, and we look forward to sharing your important work with our incarcerated populations. Thank you to our Community Resources statewide - the collaboration for these events is second to none!
