MPCF will suspend in-person visits at Minimum Live Out Unit starting September 26th, 2026.  This is due to a plumbing project that needs to be completed. Visitors would not have bathroom access.  In lieu of in person visits, MPCF will increase video visits to compensate.

The DOC appreciates the public’s patience and understanding as it worked to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

You can visit MPCF's home page for all information on visitation.
