Minnesota Correctional Facility – Red Wing in Red Wing serves delinquent boys. It was built in 1889.[9] Minnesota Correctional Facility – Togo in northern Itasca County no longer serves delinquent boys and girls.[10] The Togo facility opened in 1955 as Youth Conservation Commission (YCC). For years it was known as Thistledew Camp.
