Fort Dodge Correctional Facility

The Fort Dodge Correctional Facility is a medium security institution located on 60 acres (243,000 m²) of land near Fort Dodge, Iowa. The institution has 1250 beds, and currently houses about 1,160 inmates. About 372 people are employed by the institution.

The Fort Dodge facility is based on a campus model, with administration and treatment buildings, five living units, and support structures - such as warehouse and power plant buildings. The living areas are divided into units to provide easier supervision and control of inmates. A double fence with electronic detection provides perimeter security.

The facility offers a highly structured program called the Rivers Program that helps inmates to adjust to life and employment outside the correctional system.

Inmates are assigned to a variety of jobs, which also include private sector jobs offered through a prison industries program located within the institution.
