# Integrative Health Unit *A 26-bed crisis unit at the Dakota County jail, Minnesota.* The Integrative Health Unit is a 26-bed unit at the [[Dakota County jail]] in [[Minnesota]]. It holds people in mental-health or chemical-dependency crisis. The Minnesota Department of Corrections inspected the jail in June 2025. Its report, dated June 24, 2025, records the unit at 95 percent of approved capacity.[^1] A federal lawsuit concerns the jail's treatment of a man in crisis. As the [[Star Tribune]] reported, it alleges that he was left unresponsive in the jail.[^2] A filing summary from the plaintiff's counsel describes the suit against the jail.[^3] These are allegations. The record carried here does not show the case's docket number, court or status. The project's at-issue file records two further points: that the unit was built after the events alleged in that complaint, which the file calls the *Duffy* complaint, and that the unit was a campaign commitment. No primary source in the record supports either point. The record does not show the unit's opening date, its operator, its cost or whose campaign is meant.[^1][^2] ## What The unit is a 26-bed housing unit inside the Dakota County jail for people in mental-health or chemical-dependency crisis.[^1] The Department of Corrections' June 2025 inspection report is the documentary source for the unit's size and use.[^1] The Department also inspected the jail in July 2023.[^4] The record carried here does not state whether the 2023 report refers to the unit.[^4] ## When - July 2023: Minnesota Department of Corrections inspection of the Dakota County jail.[^4] - June 24, 2025: Minnesota Department of Corrections inspection report on the Dakota County jail. The report records the Integrative Health Unit in operation at 95 percent of approved capacity.[^1] ## How many - 26 beds.[^1] - 95 percent of approved capacity, as of the June 24, 2025 inspection report.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The at-issue entry for the unit, AI-Dakota-038, sets two items side by side. The first is the unit's 95 percent occupancy at the 2025 State inspection.[^1] The second is the conduct alleged in the federal lawsuit over the care of a man in crisis at the jail.[^2][^3] The entry treats the unit as a remedy that followed the alleged harm. The record shows the occupancy figure and the existence of the allegations. It does not establish the date of the alleged events, the date the unit opened, or any outcome of the lawsuit.[^1][^2] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota Department of Corrections, *Dakota County Jail inspection report* (June 24, 2025) — 26-bed Integrative Health Unit for people in mental-health or chemical-dependency crisis, at 95% of approved capacity. https://mn.gov/doc/assets/Dakota%202025_tcm1089-696976.pdf [^2]: Star Tribune, *Lawsuit: Man in crisis left unresponsive, covered in blood and feces in Dakota County jail* — report of the federal complaint's allegations (allegations only). https://www.startribune.com/lawsuit-man-in-crisis-left-unresponsive-covered-in-blood-and-feces-in-dakota-county-jail/600381734 [^3]: Storms Dworak, *Lawsuit filed against jail, Advanced Correctional Healthcare* — filing summary of the complaint (allegations only). https://www.stormsdworak.com/lawsuit-filed-against-jail-advanced-correctional-healthcare/ [^4]: Minnesota Department of Corrections, *Dakota County Jail inspection report* (July 2023) — prior State inspection of the jail. https://mn.gov/doc/assets/Dakota%20County%20Jail%202023_tcm1089-611871.pdf
