MCF Moose Lake

Don't show up at MCF Moose Lake without approval. The facility emails your approval status, and processing can take several weeks. The application covers standard details: your name (including any previous names), date of birth, address, phone, email, and relationship to the incarcerated person. Staff run a law-enforcement criminal history check to determine entry, then destroy the results afterward. Everyone entering the facility, along with all personal belongings, may be searched for contraband at any time. Refuse a search or bring controlled substances or weapons, and you'll be denied entry. You'll need to submit a scanned, accepted photo ID. Expired or canceled driver's licenses won't work, and the address on your ID must match your application. Minors under 18 need an escort and a birth certificate on file.

Communication at MCF Moose Lake flows outbound from the incarcerated person. They can't receive incoming calls, so expect to hear from them through outgoing phone calls or third-party video and messaging services. Phone calls, video chats, and electronic messages are routinely monitored or recorded for security. Content may be screened or withheld if it raises safety or legal concerns. Most video visits and messaging run through a vendor platform where you'll create an account, schedule sessions (or accept invitations), and handle payments. Accept prompts when they come up, and follow the vendor's session rules. Visits often run in set time blocks and may be charged in full even if someone leaves early. Check the facility's official communications page for current vendor details and rates.
