The Fort Dodge Correctional Facility (FDCF) is a medium security prison with a current rated capacity of 1162. The facility's seven housing units are organized to support positive behavior and is designed especially to house young, male offenders. Primary perimeter security is provided by a double fence system with electronic detection. FDCF offers a variety of offender programs and the New Frontiers Substance Abuse Program is licensed by the State of Iowa. FDCF's Young Offender Program, RIVERS (Redirecting Individual Values, Energy, Relationships, and Skills), is a 5-month voluntary intensive program. In addition to programming, offenders are provided work opportunities including private sector jobs inside the fence to assist in developing the skills needed to become a productive and successful citizen.
