Minnesota County Directory
Browse Minnesota county jail roster pages currently published on CountyJailRoster.net for recent arrests and current local custody. The Minnesota Department of Corrections serves a different purpose, and this directory does not currently include every Minnesota county.
Choose the resource that matches the type of custody information you need. These resources serve different purposes.
| Resource | Primary purpose |
|---|---|
| County jail roster | Recent arrests and current local custody information. |
| Minnesota Department of Corrections | State correctional custody or supervision. It is not a county jail roster. |
Minnesota counties do not use one standard roster label. Local custody information may appear under Jail Roster, In Custody, Custody List, Jail Roster Report, Inmate Locator, Adult Detention Center, or another agency-specific label.
In Custody or similar wording usually refers to people listed in current local custody. A booking report or booking list may show intake activity without being a complete current jail roster.
Available fields vary by county system.
These city-to-county references can help identify which published county page to check. They are search guidance rather than absolute jurisdictional rules.
| City | County guidance |
|---|---|
| Minneapolis | Usually Hennepin County. |
| Saint Paul | Usually Ramsey County. |
| Rochester | Usually Olmsted County. |
| Mankato | Usually Blue Earth County. |
| Shakopee | Usually Scott County. |
| Brainerd | Usually Crow Wing County. |
‘In custody’ usually indicates that the person is listed in current local custody. The label concerns county-level custody rather than state correctional custody.
Not always. A booking report or booking list may show intake activity without being a complete current-custody view.
