Official Hennepin County Jail Roster and Current Custody Search

The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office operates an online jail roster for people booked into the county jail. It identifies detainees currently in custody and people who were recently released.

The Sheriff’s Office states that the public roster is updated hourly. Its official jail-information page includes current custody, recent releases, charges, bail and scheduled court dates.

Roster update frequencyApproximately every hour, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Searchable booking historyThe roster application describes records for the current date and preceding 90 days.

Quick answer: Open the official jail roster, enter all or part of the person’s name, use the Custody Status filter when helpful, and select the matching booking record. To confirm a recent arrest or pending release, call the jail directly.
Important timing difference: The Sheriff’s public-facing jail overview emphasizes current custody and releases over the last seven days, while the searchable roster application’s introduction describes a 90-day lookback. These are not guarantees that every record or detail will be available for the entire period.

Hennepin County Jail Bookings, Arrest Records and Mugshots

The jail roster is useful for identifying when someone entered custody and which law enforcement agency made the arrest. The Sheriff’s roster describes booking records for the current date and up to 90 days beforehand.

Common booking information

Booking numberThe identifier assigned to a specific jail booking.
Full nameThe name recorded by the jail.
AgeThe age listed in the booking record.
Custody statusWhether the person remains held or has been released.
Arrested byThe agency that brought the detainee into custody.
Received dateThe recorded date and time of jail intake.
Released dateThe recorded release date and time when applicable.
Case detailsAvailable charge, bail and court information when the portal provides it.

How to find booking details

  1. Search by the subject’s name on the official roster.
  2. Review all matching results, especially if the name is common.
  3. Compare the booking number and received date.
  4. Check the arresting agency and custody status.
  5. Open the available booking details.
  6. Use the court case search to verify charges formally filed in court.

Are Hennepin County booking mugshots public?

Do not assume that a booking image will appear with every searchable roster entry. If a photograph is unavailable through the official system, contact the Sheriff’s Office about the applicable public-data request process.

Booking photo caution: A mugshot identifies a booking event, not a conviction. Photographs may be withheld or unavailable under applicable public-data rules. Avoid relying on third-party mugshot websites for current custody or disposition information.

The Sheriff’s Office describes a separate data-request process for records that do not appear in the roster. Start with the official jail roster page and follow its public-data request links if necessary.

How to Read Hennepin County Jail Roster Information

The roster’s information can help identify a booking and determine whether the person is still held. However, custody and court-case information are different.

In CustodyThe person is recorded as being held in the county jail.
Released from CustodyThe booking shows a recorded release from the jail.
Arrested ByThe agency responsible for the recorded arrest.
Received DateWhen the jail recorded receiving the person.
Released DateWhen the recorded custody episode ended.
ChargeAn accusation or legal basis for detention, not proof of guilt.
BailAn amount or condition related to release, which may be affected by other holds.
Court DateA scheduled court event that should be confirmed through the court.
One person can have more than one booking number. A second booking record may represent a separate custody episode rather than an error or duplicate.

If the roster shows release but the person is not reachable, it does not establish their current location. They might have transferred, been released to another authority, or left custody under conditions not fully explained in the roster.

Hennepin County Jail Bail, Bond and Release Payments

Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office accepts eligible cash bail and bonds at the Public Safety Facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Sheriff warns that scammers target people whose relatives are in jail or recently released. The office states that it will not call demanding payment.

Scam alert: Never send bail using a payment link supplied by an unexpected caller or text message. Independently call 612-348-5112 to verify bail information.

How to post cash bail

  1. Call the jail at 612-348-5112.
  2. Provide the detainee’s full name and date of birth when requested.

  4. Go to the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility at 401 South 4th Avenue.
  5. Pass through the required security screening.
  6. Go to the in-custody records window.
  7. Provide the case or warrant number and the exact cash bail amount.
  8. Retain all official receipts and follow the jail’s release instructions.

Not acceptedChecks, debit cards and credit cards for jail-window bail.
Bonding agenciesThe jail does not recommend or arrange private bondsmen.
Before traveling: Verify that cash bail is actually authorized, that you have the exact amount, and that no other hold will prevent release. Posting money does not guarantee immediate discharge.

Official details: Hennepin County Sheriff’s bail and bond instructions.

How to Schedule Hennepin County Jail Video Visits

Hennepin County uses Securus Technologies for visitor accounts and appointment scheduling. The Sheriff’s Office says all visitors must request access through Securus before booking an on-site video session.

Financial safety: Confirm mailed payment instructions directly with the jail before sending money. Avoid mailing cash if a safer official deposit option is available. Online deposit transactions have separate service fees.

Inmate-account withdrawal charges

The Sheriff’s Office states that detainees are charged a withdrawal transaction fee of 10% of the transaction, capped at $10. It also states that initial deposits, final withdrawals and money deposited for bail are exempt from that fee.

Hennepin County Jail Phone Calls, Mail and Packages

Can you call a detainee directly?

No. The Sheriff’s Office states that you may receive calls from detainees, but you cannot place incoming calls directly to them.

If you are having trouble receiving calls, want to block inmate calls or have questions about collect-call bills, contact the telephone provider’s Correctional Billing Services support using the Sheriff’s official phone information page.

Before sending a package: Call the jail to confirm whether the item and sender qualify. A package that does not meet the facility’s conditions may be refused.

Hennepin County Jail Court Dates, Criminal Charges and Attorneys

The jail roster can display charges and scheduled court dates. However, the official court docket is the appropriate source for filed charges, hearing history, orders and dispositions.

Attorney and legal access

If you are an attorney arranging a confidential consultation, call the jail directly at 612-348-5112. Ask about professional identification, attorney appointments and secure communication arrangements.

The publicly posted family-visitation rules are not a substitute for attorney-access procedures.

Hennepin County Jail Releases, Transfers and Missing Inmates

The public roster identifies current and recently released detainees, but it does not always explain where someone went afterward. Release, transfer, court movement or intake delays can affect results.

What if the person is not listed?

  1. Search the person’s full name and a shorter name variation.
  2. Remove custody-status filters if the search returns no match.
  3. Check both received and released date ranges.
  4. Remember that a person may not appear until intake assigns a booking number.
  5. Call 612-348-5112 if the arrest is recent.
  6. Ask whether the person was transferred, released or moved to another agency, subject to disclosure rules.
  7. If a state-prison transfer is possible, check the Minnesota Department of Corrections offender locator.
Minnesota DOC Offender Locator Hennepin Jail Data Dashboard

Can you receive automatic release alerts?

The roster itself should not be treated as an automatic notification subscription. If you are a victim or another eligible person needing custody-change information, ask the Sheriff’s Office or the relevant victim-services provider about an approved notification service.

Important: A projected court date or release amount does not establish a guaranteed release date. Other warrants, holds or processing requirements can affect custody.

Hennepin County Adult Detention Center vs. Other Correctional Facilities

Hennepin County operates different detention and correctional services. The Sheriff’s jail is an adult pretrial detention facility. It is not the same as the county’s adult correctional facility, juvenile detention center or a Minnesota state prison.

Adult Detention CenterSheriff-managed downtown Minneapolis jail; use the official jail roster.
Adult Correctional FacilityOperated under Hennepin County community corrections; confirm custody through the relevant department.
Juvenile Detention CenterDifferent facility with special confidentiality requirements.
Minnesota state prisonUse the Minnesota DOC offender locator for eligible public prison custody records.

If a person appears in a court record but not the jail roster, verify which detention authority has custody instead of assuming a release.

Hennepin County Jail Safety, Medical Care and Reporting Concerns

The Sheriff’s Detention Services division reports that jail health services and medical care are provided around the clock. The division also provides educational and rehabilitation programming.

Urgent safety or misconduct concerns

The Sheriff’s Office maintains a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault and harassment in the jail.

Immediate danger of sexual assault or harassment 612-348-8318 or call 911 in an emergency.

To report suspected sexual misconduct, use the Sheriff’s official jail reporting instructions. For non-emergency concerns, call the jail information line and ask for the appropriate supervisor or reporting process.

Medical emergency: Do not rely on a public roster search to relay urgent medical information. Contact the facility directly, and use emergency services when immediate assistance is required.
