The Washington County Jail roster in Minnesota is an official daily PDF report showing adults held at the county jail in Stillwater. The Sheriff’s Office also publishes separate daily booking reports for people admitted to the facility. Use the official reports below to check inmate names, booking dates and custody information.
Washington County Jail Roster: Current Inmate Search
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office provides an Adult Inmate Roster Report as a PDF. Unlike a searchable web database, the roster is a dated document listing adults currently held in the county jail.
What the roster includes
The official adult roster identifies inmates by name and includes fields such as JID number, booking date, booking number, estimated release date and number of days. Some fields may be blank depending on the inmate’s circumstances.
How to Search the Washington County Jail Roster by Name
Scroll to the section labeled Inmate Roster Report and follow the county’s report link.
Look for the report heading, roster date and time, and the active-inmate count. This helps confirm you are viewing the intended document.
On a computer, press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac). On a phone, use the PDF viewer’s search icon. Enter the last name and review every matching entry.
Check the first name, middle initial or name, JID number and booking date. Do not assume that two people sharing a surname are the same person.
Call 651-430-7900 if you need to verify a transfer, release, bail requirement or current detention status.
Searching on a mobile phone
Open the PDF in your browser or PDF reader, select the magnifying-glass search tool and type the surname. If the report is difficult to read, rotate your phone or use the PDF reader’s zoom feature. Avoid relying on screenshots of roster entries shared on social media.
Washington County Jail Daily Booking Reports
Washington County publishes an Adult Daily Book-In Report with separate links for Sunday through Saturday. This is the correct official resource when you want to review bookings for a particular day rather than only people still in custody.

Why might the estimated release field be blank?
The jail may not have a publishable estimated release date for a particular person. Court decisions, sentencing, additional holds, transfers and administrative processing can affect release. Do not interpret a blank field as proof that someone will remain in custody indefinitely.
