Appealing Minnesota Doc Policy

Summary

To appeal a Minnesota Department of Corrections policy, inmates should first file a grievance through the prisons internal system. If denied, they can request an administrative appeal, detailing why the decision was incorrect. If the appeal is also denied, they can seek judicial review by preparing a petition, filing it in state court, and serving the Department of Corrections. The petition should include an introduction, facts, arguments, and supporting documents. Inmates should keep copies of all documents throughout the process.
