Pexton Hall on the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center campus was recently remodeled to accommodate the growing number of civilly committed sex offenders, but could be full by April. A 400-bed facility to house sex offenders planned for St. Peter likely now will be built in Moose Lake.

St. Peter loses out on expansion

Moose Lake to get funding for major sex offender facility

By Dylan Thomas
The Free Press

Tessneer said it will take about 300 people to operate the temporary sex-offender facility, and it would make little sense to relocate them to St. Peter in three years.

Although the growth of the sex-offender program is extremely difficult to predict, he said, another 400-bed facility — slated for construction in 2010 — probably also will be built in Moose Lake.

“We see St. Peter as primarily a security hospital,” he said. “... The sex offender growth will be going north.”
