Minnesota Fruad Needs to End

 MSOP's Fraudulent Days Should be Numbered

By Christopher Krych, Political Prisoner Improperly Detained since 2006

The Minnesota Sex Offender treatment Program (MSOP) had approximately 60 patients in 1996; 190 in 2003 (approx. 12-14 new commits a year then), and 679 in 2013. [1]

MSOP population (See DCT website Statistics) is 417 clients in MSOP-Moose Lake; 203 clients at MSOP-St. Peter; 139 clients at Community Preparation Services (CPS); 68 clients on Provisional Discharge (PD), and 44 clients got a Full Discharge= 871 clients.

Client deaths are 113 according to DCT Timothy G. Thornton (per data request #2365). The total number of individuals ever committed is 984 when you add 871 and 113. Math: only 4.5% (44) completed MSOP and 11.5% (113) graduated by cremation. Over 10% completed the treatment Program by means of desistance. [2]

Direct Care and Treatment (DCT) Advisory Committee members visited MSOP-Moose Lake on Friday, June 26th, 2026. DCT Advisory Committee Member, Marcus Schmit (NAMI Minnesota Chapter), asked CEO Nancy Johnston why she hadn't ever petitioned for anyone's discharge as she had the power.to do so [3] and she said that if she did it for one, then others would ask her for the same treatment (Johnston gets $191,929.00 yearly for politically discriminating against a class of people).

Minnesota acts like 113 human beings dying under civil commitment is a trivial matter. [4]

With an accurate number(?) of individuals currently in MSOP custody or control; I'd like to know how many get CPS, Provisional Discharge, or a Full Discharge, each year. Where's the Stats?

The MSOP-ML infirmary where people take their last breaths is just 4 rooms with no carpet or pictures on the walls and broken hospital beds. Farewell experience is not comfortable/humane.

The population behind the razor wire (Moose Lake and St. Peter) is 620 and then there's 139 on CPS outside the razor wire at St. Peter. That's 759 human beings that are not guaranteed a Full Discharge, but certainly qualify for graduation by cremation. MSOP is one big fat ADA violation!

You can guarantee that the gap between 4.5% and 11.5% will broaden significantly because the majority of the remaining 759 are between 50-85 years-old and treatment Program is flooded with walkers; wheelchairs; cancers; diabetes, and terminal illnesses. Medical bills are skyrocketing!

All I can do is advocate for myself and others against the fraudulent machine called MSOP.

Cedrick Scott Ince lost his Appeal by a split decision and the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed and remanded [5] back to the First Judicial District (Sibley County File #72-PR-11-52) and Judge Thomas G. McCarthy dismissed the petition on September 11, 2014, not because he was an angel at MSOP (gang activity, drinking hooch, etc.) - there was a political will to let him out.

First Judicial District Judge's, Karen Asphaug and Leslie Metzen (2 of the 3 Judges) granted Eric Terhaar the first ever MSOP discharge from commitment (CAP #AP 15-9084), on August 24, 2016, not because he was an angle in MSOP - there was a political will to let him out.

Judge Metzen also granted Joseph Harju (CAP #AP23-906 l) with the first ever disorder remission discharge (November 12, 2025): "Petitioner does not have a full Antisocial Personality Disorder nor was there clear and convincing evidence that Petitioner's personality disorder was so severe and present to satisfy the mental illness or mental abnormality prong of due process."

My First Judicial District "Initial Commitment Order" (File #P8-05-10260) had Finding: "87. Respondent attended AA at least weekly, found employment and an apartment. He developed friends and a support network at AA. One of his employers spoke highly of Respondent and his work ethic. Respondent testified that he has spent more than half his life in jail or prison but that he has changed now because he is remianing sober." Conclusion "4. Respondent's diagnosed antisocial personality disorder, ... , satisfies the statutory requirement that Respondent had/has manifested ..."

Had an antisocial personality disorder is past tense/not a full Antisocial Personality Disorder.

My Public Defender never visited me or let me to participate in appealing my life sentence.

Ince had 8 months of volitional control in the community and I had 9 months and had not been mandated to do sex treatment since 1987 and have never been a registered sex offender.

MSOP's fraudulent days should be numbered - takes political will to end fraud, waste, abuse.

See Stauber dissent in re: Cedrick Scott Ince, Cou11 of Appeals File No. A 12-1691, Filed March 18, 2013: "Given that 678 of the 679 people who have been civilly committed to MSOP remain in MSOP, we must approach these cases with an appreciation for their gravity and an understanding that every case must be scrutinized to ensure absolute compliance with the law. A civil commitment to MSOP is, essentially, a life sentence. Only those people who are truly "highly likely to reoffend" should be committed to the program. Clearly, the cou11s have failed to follow the "highly likely to reoffend requirement," because, since 2003, the number of sex offenders who have been civilly committed to MSOP has increased by 357%. In 2003, MSOP had 190 "clients." Eric S. Janus, Minnesota's Sex Offender Commitment Program: Would an Empirically-Based Prevention Policy Be More Effective?, 29 Wm. Mitchell L. Rev. I 083, 1089 (2003). Now, MSOP houses 678. This is an unsustainable system."

2. See MSOP PROGRAM THEORY MANUAL (Direct Care and Treatment Policy #215-5005 1/2026)): "Over the years, many definitions have been used to describe this impo11ant concept. Some describe desistance as self-reported termination of the criminal behavior, others examine the official records of criminal behaviors, and still others describe desistance as the decrease in frequency, intensity, and seriousness of criminal behavior. The current accepted definition describes desistance as a process of stopping and staying stopped - a "glide path to zero" (Maruna, 200 I; Laub & Sampson, 2001; Sampson and Laub, 2005). The key emerging issue is how to measure desistance. There is no consistent measurement (e.g., it can be measured by self-repo11s, official records of reports, or a combination of both) and is the process measured by a reduction in offending frequency, the seriousness of the crime, or some would argue "death" as the most accurate measurement of desistance."

5. Opinion Excerpt: "During the 8 months that Ince was on supervised release, he obtained employment on a dairy farm, began renting a nearby house from his employer, and purchased a truck. lnce's employer reported that Ince has "done an excellent job" and has an "ongoing, continuous" offer of employment. ... the evidence was undisputed that Ince was considered in "sustained full remission" based on his alcohol and drug ab tinence since 2009; had participated consistently in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA); and had supportive family relationships."
