Program Goals
In 2006, the Minnesota Department of Corrections (MNDOC) implemented EMPLOY, a prisoner-reentry employment program. The program was designed to help prisoners take advantage of the work experience and job skills gained through employment with Minnesota Correctional Industries (MINNCOR), the state’s prison industry program. In an effort to reduce recidivism, EMPLOY helps offenders locate, secure, and retain employment. Moreover, the program provides inmates with assistance to improve their readiness for post-release employment and offers community support for 1 year following release from prison.
