MCF-LL Visitation is open. The non-contact visitation area has also reopened.
MCF-Lino Lakes consists of medium-security and a minimum-security unit with a population of 1,300 adult males. This facility has the highest concentration of educational and treatment programs. In many cases, incarcerated individuals serve the final phase of their sentence at Lino Lakes so they can obtain the services they need to prepare for release.
Notable features include:
Substance abuse programming is provided in TRIAD, a 306-bed therapeutic community.
Lino Lakes Sex Offender Treatment Program is 270-bed program providing treatment for sexual offending, substance abuse and mental health in an integrated manner. Research suggests that participants in the program commit new offenses at a significantly lower rate than untreated individuals.
Lino Lakes is also the site of a Prison Fellowship Academy, a faith-based program funded and operated by Prison Fellowship through a partnership with the DOC.
The facility opened in 1963 and originally served as a juvenile facility. In 1978, Lino Lakes was remodeled and converted to an adult facility.
