Minnesota Statutes 642.11 – Condemnation; How Enforced
If any lockup condemned by the commissioner of corrections shall thereafter be used while the order of condemnation is in force, it shall be the duty of the commissioner to bring an action in the district court in the county where the lockup is, for the purpose of enforcing the order of condemnation, and upon the trial of the action a copy of such order, certified in the usual form by the commissioner, shall be conclusive evidence that such lockup has been condemned by the commissioner and shall be prima facie evidence that the lockup does not comply with the requirements of sections 642.02, 642.10 and 642.11 and is unfit for use as a lockup, and that its future use should be enjoined by the court. Evidence to sustain the order of condemnation may be received in rebuttal.
