Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake Records and Facility Lookup

Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake Overview

Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake is operated by Minnesota Direct Care and Treatment through the Minnesota Sex Offender Program. The campus address in the Facility Map is 1111 Highway 73, Moose Lake, MN 55767. It is a secure treatment and supervised living setting for civilly committed MSOP clients. It is not operated by the Carlton County Sheriff's Office and it is not the Minnesota Department of Corrections prison at 1000 Lakeshore Drive.

The civil-commitment distinction is the most important accuracy point on this page. Carlton County Jail holds recent arrestees, pretrial detainees, sentenced local inmates, and agency holds. MCF-Moose Lake is a DOC prison for sentenced adult men. MSOP Moose Lake is secure, but it is a treatment campus for civilly committed clients, often after criminal proceedings and county civil-commitment petitions. Do not describe MSOP clients as ordinary jail inmates waiting for bail or as prisoners listed in the DOC Locator unless a separate DOC record independently exists.

The Facility Map reports that no county jail roster lookup for MSOP clients was found in the inspected materials. For public-records questions, use DCT/MSOP contact routes and Minnesota data practices law. For related criminal court history, use Minnesota Court Records Online or the Minnesota BCA Public Criminal History Search where those systems lawfully disclose records.

Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake Licensed Beds

The MSOP overview identifies two Moose Lake buildings. The Main building was originally built in 1995 and is licensed for 158 clients. Complex One was built in 2009 and has 400 licensed beds. Together, those figures describe licensed civil-treatment capacity, not county jail capacity and not DOC prison population. They should not be added to Carlton County Jail's 96 approved secure coed beds or MCF-Moose Lake's June 2026 state-prison on-site count.

The research file treats MSOP separately because Carlton County has multiple secure facilities in Moose Lake. The DOC prison population is a corrections count. MSOP licensed beds are a treatment-capacity measure. The county jail roster is a local criminal-custody list. Keeping those categories separate prevents the common error of calling every secure person in Moose Lake an inmate on the Carlton County Jail roster.

How to Look Up Records for Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake

There is no researched public MSOP roster equivalent to the Carlton County Jail PDF. Do not use the county jail roster to look for MSOP clients, and do not use county bail or booking-photo language for this campus. Start with the official MSOP overview for facility context, then route person-specific public-records questions through Minnesota Direct Care and Treatment or applicable court and public-data channels.

1. Confirm that the location is MSOP Moose Lake, not Minnesota Correctional Facility - Moose Lake or Carlton County Jail.
2. Use the MSOP/DCT official pages for program and facility context, including campus descriptions and licensed beds.
3. For related criminal case history, search Minnesota Court Records Online by name or case information where public access is available.
4. For public conviction history, use the Minnesota BCA Public Criminal History Search, remembering that it excludes many non-conviction, juvenile, federal, out-of-state, or older completed-sentence records.

If the person you are trying to find is actually in local jail custody, switch to the county's Jail Roster page and the direct roster PDF instead of MSOP. If you need a public-data route for county-held booking information or reports, the Carlton County Sheriff's Services page and Data Request page describe the county records process. Those county tools do not create an MSOP roster; they only help when the custody or record is held by Carlton County.

If a person is currently in county jail before a civil-commitment proceeding, the Carlton County Jail roster may show that jail custody. If a person is in DOC custody on a criminal sentence, the DOC Locator may show that prison status. Those are separate systems and do not create a public MSOP roster.

Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake Address and Contact

The Facility Map gives the campus address but did not locate a phone number on the MSOP overview page. Because the research did not capture a reliable MSOP public phone for the Moose Lake campus, this page does not invent one. Use the official Direct Care and Treatment/MSOP web pages for current contact routing and records instructions.

Visiting or Contacting Someone at Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake

MSOP visiting and client-contact rules are treatment-program rules, not county jail visiting hours and not DOC prison visiting rules. The Carlton County Jail non-contact schedule, jail pin-code process, Reliance phone information, and JailATM deposit rules do not apply to MSOP unless an official MSOP source says otherwise. The research file did not capture a current MSOP visiting schedule, approval process, mail vendor, or phone vendor.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake

The research file does not document MSOP-specific mail formatting, phone account vendors, commissary vendors, or deposit fees. That absence matters. Publishing the Carlton County Jail's mail format, Reliance phone number, JailATM fee schedule, or Stellar kiosk limits for MSOP would be inaccurate because those rules were documented for the county jail at 1780 Justice Drive.

For practical records work, identify the exact custody or treatment system first. A person can have a criminal case, a past prison sentence, a civil-commitment case, and treatment-program status at different times. Each system has different disclosure rules and different public access tools.

Civil Commitment and Treatment Intake at Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake

MSOP intake is not jail booking. The research describes MSOP clients as civilly committed, typically after criminal proceedings and county civil-commitment petitions. That means there is no ordinary arrest-to-booking-to-bail sequence to explain for MSOP. A person may have older criminal court records or conviction records, but MSOP placement is treated through civil commitment and treatment administration rather than a county jail roster entry.

This distinction also changes release language. A jail page can discuss bond, first appearances, holds, and outdate fields because those are county custody topics. A DOC prison page can discuss sentencing, commitment to the Commissioner of Corrections, DOC classification, and supervision. An MSOP page should discuss civil-commitment status, treatment-campus records, and public-data limits without promising criminal release dates or bail amounts.

About Minnesota Sex Offender Program - Moose Lake

MSOP Moose Lake is a major part of Carlton County's secure-facility landscape, but its role is often misunderstood because it sits in the same city as a DOC prison. The official overview identifies the Moose Lake Main building and Complex One, with licensed client capacity. Research also notes that MSOP Moose Lake is often the subject of civil-commitment coverage and oversight, but no current official litigation claim should be made without reviewing current court or agency sources.

The most reliable local framing is simple: Carlton County Jail is the county roster and bail facility; MCF-Moose Lake is the DOC state prison; MSOP Moose Lake is secure civil-commitment treatment. Users who keep those categories separate are less likely to search the wrong roster, call the wrong office, or rely on unavailable booking-photo and bail information.
