MINNCOR Industries

MINNCOR Industries was created in 1994 by the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) to consolidate and centralize its individual facility programs into a single statewide business, as well as to increase efficiency and decrease reliance on the state's general fund. MINNCOR exists for the primary purpose of providing offender job skill training, meaningful employment, and teaching proper work habits - without burdening the tax payer. Correctional industries provide a means to minimize offender idleness and reduce costly disruptive behavior, thereby significantly contributing to a safe and secure environment for both staff and offenders.
