Sex offender treatment
The Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP) serves people who are court-ordered to receive sex offender treatment. After prison sentences are complete, courts may civilly commit individuals and place them in sex offender treatment for an unspecified period of time. A civil court can commit a person for sex offender treatment if a judge determines the individual is a "sexual psychopathic personality," a "sexually dangerous person," or both. As of April 1, 2021, MSOP had 743 clients in its treatment facilities. Program statistics are updated quarterly. Overview
MSOP is one program with two locations - Moose Lake and St. Peter. Most clients begin treatment in Moose Lake and transfer to St. Peter as they progress in treatment. In St. Peter, clients complete treatment and work toward their release. MSOP staff observe and monitor clients in all aspects of daily living, including group therapy. Other routine treatment and rehabilitative services opportunities include:
