How to search for an inmate
- Open the official locator. Select the inmate-search button above to visit the county-operated search tool.
- Enter the inmate’s last name. Add a first name if you know it. The search also offers gender and birth-year filters.
- Review matching results. Compare the displayed names and identifying information rather than relying on a partial-name match.
- Open the inmate details. Review available custody information, court dates, bail or fine amounts, and any available photograph.
- Confirm important information. For immediate release, bail, transfer or visitation questions, call the jail directly at 320-983-8244.
Daily Bookings, Arrest Records and Mugshots
The official inmate locator offers access to individual inmate records. Depending on the record, information may include custody date, booking status, available court details and an image.
Recent booking information
Check the custody date and booking status in the inmate details. Newly processed bookings may not appear immediately.
Open inmate locator ↗Inmate photos and mugshots
The locator includes a photo viewing option for available inmate records. Not every record is guaranteed to contain a publicly viewable photograph.
Check photo availability ↗Booking records versus criminal history
A jail booking record documents detention-related information at a particular facility. It does not provide a complete criminal history or establish the final outcome of a court case. For criminal case outcomes, consult the Minnesota Judicial Branch.
How to Confirm Someone Is Currently in Custody
A roster entry is a useful starting point, but custody conditions can change after a search. If a person has been transferred, released or moved to another agency, the online information may not fully reflect the situation.

What to Do When an Inmate Search Shows No Results
Name or spelling issue
Try the last name alone, remove middle names, or check whether the inmate is listed under another legal surname.
Recent arrest or booking
Processing and public-system updates may take time. Contact the jail if the arrest was very recent.
Release or transfer
A person may have been released or transferred to another detention facility. Ask the jail which agency can confirm current custody.
State prison custody
If the individual is serving a state prison sentence, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections offender search rather than relying only on a county jail roster.
Recommended next step: Call 320-983-8244 when an exact-name search produces no matching inmate and custody confirmation is urgent.
Bail, Bond, Fines and Detention Holds
According to the Mille Lacs County Jail’s inmate information page, first court appearances generally take place at 11 a.m., Monday through Friday, excluding county-recognized holidays. A bail amount may be established during that appearance.
How the county describes bail payment
- Confirm the current bail amount and any conditions with the jail or court.
- Determine whether cash bail or a bail bond agent is appropriate.
- For cash bail, the county directs payment to the jail’s 24-hour entrance with the exact bail amount.
- Ask staff for the applicable receipt and release-processing instructions.
What if there is another hold?
A legal hold may involve another court, warrant or supervising agency. Payment on one case does not necessarily resolve another detention basis. Request clarification directly from jail staff and, where necessary, an attorney.
Court Dates, Case Search and Legal Assistance
Jail custody records and court dockets serve different purposes. The jail locator can display court-related information, while the Minnesota Judicial Branch maintains official court case access and scheduling resources.
Minnesota Court Records Online
Search available public court records to review case details and case activity.

Attorney and public defender assistance
Someone facing criminal charges should seek legal counsel promptly. If the person cannot afford an attorney, they may ask the court about eligibility for a public defender. Private conversations with counsel should use the jail’s approved professional communication arrangements.
The jail permits professional visits in person or through Securus Video Connect, subject to advance scheduling and approved time windows.
