The death of a young offender at the state’s juvenile prison in Red Wing over the weekend is being looked into by the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
Not much information has been made public, but the DOC says that staff found the minor resident not responding on Saturday. The minor was pronounced dead, even though efforts were made to bring them back to life.
A search is being done to find out how the child died.
Young offenders from all over the state are sent to the Red Wing Correctional Facility, which is allowed to hold 88 people.
