The Minnesota Complaint For Violation of Civil Rights (Prisoner) is a form used to file a formal complaint with the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) when a prisoner believes his/her civil rights have been violated while in prison. This form allows prisoners to report violations of civil rights such as cruel and unusual punishment, rights of due process, and other violations of civil rights. There are two types of Minnesota Complaint For Violation of Civil Rights (Prisoner): Complaint for Inmate-on-Inmate Abuse and Complaint for Staff-on-Inmate Abuse. The Complaint for Inmate-on-Inmate Abuse is used to report abuse or mistreatment of prisoners by other inmates; while the Complaint for Staff-on-Inmate Abuse is used to report abuse or mistreatment of prisoners by DOC staff. The form requires the complainant to provide detailed information about the alleged violation, including the name of the involved parties, the date and time of the incident, a description of the incident, and any witnesses. The form must be signed and notarized before it can be filed with the DOC.
