The MRCC is located along the Missouri River in southwest Bismarck. The facility has a single housing unit, which was constructed in 1992. The facility is a 12 dorm, ten male and two female, 150 bed correctional housing facility with no fences surrounding the property. Other buildings on the grounds include a garage for auto shop and other buildings, which are used for offices, inmate recreation, and dining. The MRCC provides a safe and healthy environment for minimum-security residents to apply themselves to the task of rehabilitation. This is accomplished by maintaining proper custody, work, education, and treatment programs, encouraging residents to make the needed changes to be law abiding and successful in society. The main consideration is security. It is stressed to provide a safe and secure environment for both staff and inmates and provide an environment which affords the opportunity to seek treatment, education, employment, medical, and wellness activities, which allow the inmate to improve their self-esteem, life skills, and remain active. The MRCC is comprised of male and female inmates with custody levels that range from minimum low to community custody. Because of this, individual needs and recommendations vary, but security and safety issues remain constant. Due to the small amount of time remaining on an inmate’s sentence when they arrive to the MRCC. Release plans, pre-release skills, and addiction treatment are stressed to release the inmate into the community with the skills to be a productive member of society.
