Founded in 1933, The Minnesota Corrections Association (MCA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership association serving corrections professionals throughout the state of Minnesota. Our mission: The Minnesota Corrections Association believes that, as an integral part of the criminal justice system, along with law enforcement and the courts, the mission of corrections is to protect the public interest and safety by:
- Assisting the court and paroling authority in decision-making and the enforcement of their orders.
- Providing services and programs that afford opportunities of offenders to become law-abiding.
- Furthering the administration of fair, humane, and individualized justice.
- Providing support for services and programs which provide aid to victims of crime.
