The Prairie Correctional Facility is a vacant, 1,600-bed private prison located in Appleton, Minnesota. The prison's owner, Corrections Corporation of America, closed the prison in 2010[1][2] following declining demand for the facility by the State of Minnesota, which had recently constructed four new 416-bed housing units at Minnesota Correctional Facility – Faribault and added 250 new beds to Minnesota Correctional Facility – Moose Lake.[3]
