The department operates juvenile correctional facilities.[4]
Minnesota Correctional Facility – Red Wing in Red Wing serves delinquent boys. It was built in 1889.[5] Minnesota Correctional Facility – Togo in northern Itasca County serves delinquent boys and girls.[6] The Togo facility opened in 1955 as Youth Conservation Commission (YCC). For years it was known as Thistledew Camp. In 2006 the facility's name changed to MCF-Togo, and the Thistledew designation is used to refer to the juvenile programs.[7]
