Minnesota Correctional Facility - Stillwater




Built in 1914 and located in Bayport , Washington County , it houses 1300 Level 4 inmates in 7 Different Living Areas. Additionally, approximately 100 inmates are housed in a nearby Level 1 (Minimum) custody work farm.

One of three Level 4 (Close) custody facilities in Minnesota , MCF-STW is both the oldest and the largest prison in the Minnesota Department of Corrections. The prison is home to a Prison Industries program, a Chemical Dependency treatment program, one of two "Computers for Schools" processing areas (the other is MCF-LL).

The offenders housed in the Minimum Security area are responsible for the maintenance of the grounds surrounding the prison, and for cleaning office areas within the non-secured areas inside the main prison facility. MCF-STW has recently undergone a number of modernization efforts, and is considered to be one of the best prisons from its era.
