Official Cass County Jail Roster — Current In-Custody Report
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office publishes its official inmate roster as an In-Custody Report PDF. The report identifies people held under Cass County custody and lists available booking details, charges and photographs.
Unlike a name-search portal, the official roster is a document. You can open it and use the PDF viewer’s search function to find an inmate.
How to Search the Cass County Jail Roster by Name
The official In-Custody Report contains multiple pages, normally arranged alphabetically by inmate surname. Each entry can show the name, age, city, state, booking timestamp, charges, booking photograph and Itasca housing designation.

What Does “Housed at Itasca Jail?” Mean on the Cass County Roster?
This is one of the most important features of the Cass County inmate list.
Cass County reports that its local jail has 60 beds and that it contracts for an additional 40 beds with Itasca County.
As a result, the Cass County custody roster can list individuals who are physically held in Itasca County Jail rather than the Cass County facility in Walker.
Housed at Itasca Jail? No
The roster identifies the inmate as not housed at Itasca Jail.
For visiting, personal mail, funds or professional access, start with Cass County Jail in Walker and confirm the current location.
Housed at Itasca Jail? Yes
The roster identifies the inmate as housed at Itasca County Jail under Cass County’s contracted housing arrangement.
Confirm physical custody and use the receiving facility’s current visiting, telephone, deposit and mail policies.
How to avoid going to the wrong jail
- Find the inmate on the Cass County In-Custody Report.
- Read the field labeled Housed at Itasca Jail?.
- If it says Yes, contact Cass County Jail first.
- Ask whether the person is currently held in Itasca County.
- Confirm the correct facility before depositing funds or scheduling a visit.
- Get the receiving jail’s approved mailing address if necessary.
- Do not rely on the Cass County mailing address for someone transferred elsewhere.

Cass County Jail Booking Records and Recent Arrests
The Sheriff’s In-Custody Report records each publicly listed inmate’s booking information and the charges associated with that detention.
It is a custody snapshot, not a complete public archive of everyone arrested in Cass County.
How to check a recent booking
- Open the current Cass County In-Custody Report.
- Check when the PDF was generated.
- Search for the person’s surname.
- Verify the full name and available age information.
- Review the booking date and time.
- Read each listed charge.
- Check the Itasca housing field.
- Call jail staff if the reported arrest happened after the PDF’s printed time.
What if the person is not on the roster?
The person may have been released, transferred to another authority, not yet entered into the report or recorded differently than expected.
Absence from a dated roster does not establish a particular custody outcome.
How do I get a previous booking record?
For an older or more detailed detention record, contact Cass County Jail or the Sheriff’s Records Division.
The Sheriff’s Office may require a data request under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. Some records can be withheld or redacted because of legal restrictions.
Cass County Jail Mugshots and Booking Photographs
Cass County’s official In-Custody Report includes booking photographs. This makes the county’s own PDF a better starting point than a commercial mugshot website.
Images appear with available inmate entries alongside the person’s name, charges and Itasca housing designation.
How to view a booking photo
- Open the official Cass County Jail Roster PDF.
- Find the person’s surname.
- Locate the photograph associated with the matching entry.
- Compare the full name and available age information.
- Check the booking timestamp.
- Make sure the image belongs to the current record rather than an older arrest.
Why might a mugshot not appear?
An image might be unavailable, omitted from a particular report or subject to disclosure restrictions. An incomplete photograph field does not invalidate the remaining booking information.
Can you request a booking photo?
Cass County’s Sheriff’s Records Division maintains law-enforcement files. The county’s March 2026 data classification inventory identifies a local identification file containing mugshots and fingerprints, while certain other correctional or juvenile records are restricted.
If the photograph you need is not publicly displayed, ask the Records Division whether it can be lawfully released.

Understanding Cass County Jail Roster Charges and Status
Each inmate entry can contain several Minnesota statute numbers and offense descriptions. One booking may involve more than one allegation or custody-related order.
Does the roster provide bail amounts?
The county’s current In-Custody PDF focuses on inmate identity, booking details, charges and housing location. It does not consistently provide a complete bail amount for every listed offense.
Contact the jail or Cass County District Court to determine current eligibility and payment instructions.
Can an inmate have several charges?
Yes. Several charges may appear below one inmate record. Each matter can affect bail or release separately.
Does the booking date equal the court appearance date?
No. A booking timestamp records detention processing. The next court appearance must be obtained from the appropriate court calendar or clerk.
