Faribault Celebrates Corrections Week
By Melissa Paquette
MCF-Faribault elected to celebrate and show appreciation for staff throughout the month of May rather than just during Corrections Week. The work that each of our staff does on a daily basis is stressful and exhausting to say the least. We sincerely appreciate the hard work and dedication shown by MCF-FRB staff each and every day. Handing out treats, providing lunches and having food trucks on grounds are just small ways to recognize staff and say "Thank You" for all that you do.
