Minnesota. Dept. of Corrections.
In 1973, the Minnesota Corrections Department began experimenting with an alternative to incarceration for selected property offenders through the opening of the Minnesota Restitution Center, a limited residential program with 22 beds in Minneapolis. This program provided offenders with an opportunity to make restitution to their victims without any jail service. The Center was closed in 1976 and the staff reallocated to the Restitution Unit, created to enhance and encourage more diverse use of restitution throughout the state. It served as an information bank and clearinghouse for programs, screened and provided broker services for all adult state offenders eligible for restitution programming and early release from state institutions, assisted local communities in developing restitution programs, and identified issues and problems related to restitution in an effort to find solutions to enhance and expand the use of restitution to victims of crime. In July 1979, the program was transferred to the Minnesota Corrections Board.
