INSTITUTIONS.] (1) The commissioner of corrections shall inspect
and license all correctional facilities throughout the state,
whether public or private, established and operated for the
detention and confinement of persons detained or confined
therein according to law except to the extent that they are
inspected or licensed by other state regulating agencies. The
commissioner shall promulgate pursuant to chapter 14, rules
establishing minimum standards for these facilities with respect
to their management, operation, physical condition, and the
security, safety, health, treatment, and discipline of persons
detained or confined therein. Commencing September 1, 1980, no
individual, corporation, partnership, voluntary association, or
other private organization legally responsible for the operation
of a correctional facility may operate the facility unless
licensed by the commissioner of corrections. The commissioner
shall annually review the correctional facilities described in
this subdivision, except as otherwise provided herein, to
determine compliance with the minimum standards established
pursuant to this subdivision. The commissioner shall grant a
license to any facility found to conform to minimum standards or
to any facility which, in the commissioner's judgment, is making
satisfactory progress toward substantial conformity and the
interests and well-being of the persons detained or confined
therein are protected. The commissioner shall have access to
the buildings, grounds, books, records, staff, and to persons
detained or confined in these facilities. The commissioner may
require the officers in charge of these facilities to furnish
all information and statistics the commissioner deems necessary,
at a time and place designated by the commissioner. The
commissioner may require that any or all such information be
provided through the department of corrections detention
information system.
(2) Any state agency which regulates, inspects, or licenses
certain aspects of correctional facilities shall, insofar as is
possible, ensure that the minimum standards it requires are
substantially the same as those required by other state agencies
which regulate, inspect, or license the same aspects of similar
types of correctional facilities, although at different
correctional facilities.
(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the
commissioner of corrections' authority to promulgate rules
establishing standards of eligibility for counties to receive
funds under sections 401.01 to 401.16, or to require counties to
comply with operating standards the commissioner establishes as
a condition precedent for counties to receive that funding.
(4) When the commissioner finds that any facility described
in clause (1), except foster care facilities for delinquent
children and youth as provided in subdivision 2, does not
substantially conform to the minimum standards established by
the commissioner and is not making satisfactory progress toward
substantial conformance, the commissioner shall promptly notify
the chief executive officer and the governing board of the
facility of the deficiencies and order that they be remedied
within a reasonable period of time. The commissioner may by
written order restrict the use of any facility which does not
substantially conform to minimum standards to prohibit the
detention of any person therein for more than 72 hours at one
time. When, after due notice and hearing, the commissioner
finds that any facility described in this subdivision, except
county jails and lockups as provided in sections 641.26, 642.10,
and 642.11, does not conform to minimum standards, or is not
making satisfactory progress toward substantial compliance
therewith, the commissioner may issue an order revoking the
license of that facility. After revocation of its license, that
facility shall not be used until its license is renewed. When
the commissioner is satisfied that satisfactory progress towards
substantial compliance with minimum standard is being made, the
commissioner may, at the request of the appropriate officials of
the affected facility supported by a written schedule for
compliance, grant an extension of time for a period not to
exceed one year.
(5) As used in this subdivision, "correctional facility"
means any facility, including a group home, having a residential
component, the primary purpose of which is to serve persons
placed therein by a court, court services department, parole
authority, or other correctional agency having dispositional
power over persons charged with, convicted, or adjudicated to be
guilty or delinquent.
