Annex for Defective Delinquents |

Annex for Defective Delinquents – Introductory Note In 1945 the Minnesota Legislature authorized the transfer during the period from June 30, 1945 to June 30, 1947 of persons labeled “feeble-minded” and committed to state guardianship to a separate wing or section of the St. Cloud Reformatory. Minnesota Laws 1945, chapter 565, section 4. (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1945/0/1945-565.pdf) This action was prompted in part to relieve pressure on the waiting list for admission to the School for Feeble-Minded and Colony for Epileptics at Faribault, but the action was also prompted by the almost "prison-like" conditions in which the men transferred were held at Faribault. This unit at St. Cloud was designated the Annex for Defective Delinquents by the Division of Public Institutions. The initial authorization for transfer for a two-year period was reauthorized in 1947 (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1947/0/1947-080.pdf), 1949 (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1949/0/1949-127.pdf), and 1951 (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1951/0/1951-292.pdf) In 1953 this law was amended to delete all reference to this separate wing or section at the Reformatory, but the Annex for Defective Delinquents continued to function. Minnesota Laws 1953, chapter 255. (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1953/0/1953-255.pdf) In 1955, the law was amended to authorize a portion of the state reformatory to be "set apart for the care of mentally deficient persons." The law was also amended to provide that "any committed mentally deficient person may be placed at this facility if in the judgment of the commissioner of public welfare it is in the best interests of that person to receive care and training at this facility." There were no time limitations, such as the two-year period that appeared in the earlier laws. (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1955/0/1955-244.pdf) In 1961 the statute was amended to require the consent of the commissioner of corrections for placement at the Annex. Minnesota Laws 1961, chapter 750, section 14. (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1961/0/1961-750.pdf) A committee of the Minnesota State Bar Association recommended closing the unit on the basis that it was inappropriate to confine persons in a prison who had not been convicted of a crime. The language in the law authorizing operation of the Annex at the St. Cloud Reformatory was stricken in Minnesota Laws 1963, chapter 215. (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/data/revisor/law/1963/0/1963-214.pdf) |
