St. Louis County Jail Roster: Current Inmates & Custody Search
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office provides an official inmate roster updated every hour. The roster identifies people in the county jail system and provides available booking, location, bail, charge and custody information.
How to Find Someone in St. Louis County Jail
Visit the official jail roster page and select View Roster. The link opens the current roster report.
The PDF identifies when the list was generated. Do not assume the report reflects a booking or release that occurred afterward.
Use Ctrl+F on Windows, Command+F on Mac, or Find in your mobile PDF viewer. Try the last name and review all matches.
Review the name, age, booking number and available booking information. A name match alone is not enough to establish identity.
The roster may show a facility other than the Duluth jail. If another county’s jail is listed, contact that facility directly.
Call 218-726-2345 when you need current custody or release information rather than relying only on the PDF.
St. Louis County Daily Jail Bookings
The county’s current roster includes a Booking Date field for each listed inmate. This allows you to identify recent admissions by checking the date and time beside the person’s entry.
Unlike a dedicated chronological daily-booking feed, the official roster is primarily a current-custody report. Someone booked and released before the next roster update may not appear in the current-inmate list.
How to check today’s bookings
St. Louis County 48-Hour Jail Release Roster
The county publishes a separate 48-hour release roster. This is useful when someone appeared in custody recently but no longer appears on the current roster.
Check the report timestamp and compare the person’s identifying information. A release from one facility does not necessarily establish that a person has no outstanding hold, pending charge or custody obligation elsewhere.
What Information Appears on the St. Louis County Jail Roster?
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Inmate name / number | The recorded name and inmate or booking identifier; useful for distinguishing similar names. |
| Age / date of birth | Identifying details where publicly displayed. |
| Booking Date | Date and time the person was booked into the system. |
| Location | The jail facility listed as holding the person at report time. |
| Bail | Displayed amount or status such as No Bail; not necessarily a final release instruction. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency or agencies associated with the booking. |
| Charges | Offense descriptions or administrative custody holds recorded in the system. |
| Offense Level | Classification such as felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor. |
| Order Type | Recorded custody or court-order category, such as remand, hold or sentence. |
| Projected Release Date | A projected date when populated; it can change and should not be treated as a guaranteed release time. |
The county’s official roster is a custody-information resource, not a final criminal-history report. The Sheriff’s Office expressly warns that the information may be incomplete or inaccurate and should not be relied upon for legal action.
Why an Inmate May Not Appear on the Roster
If the person remains missing after checking both reports, call the jail. Have the full name and any other accurate identifying details ready.
St. Louis County Jail Mugshots & Booking Photos
The official current-inmate PDF is designed around booking and custody data, not a browsable mugshot gallery. If you need a booking photograph for a legitimate records purpose, contact the Sheriff’s Office about the public-data request process.
The Sheriff’s Office’s 2026 fee schedule lists $4.00 for mugshots/booking photos. Confirm the current fee, eligibility and request procedure before ordering. Not every photograph or record is necessarily releasable.
St. Louis County Jail Bail, Bonds & Release
The official roster may show a bail amount or No Bail. This does not establish every condition required for release. Court orders, warrants, other holds or custody status can affect the process.
What does “No Bail” mean?
It means the report does not list a payable bail amount for that custody entry. The underlying reason may involve a court order, hold or other circumstances. Ask the jail or the appropriate court for case-specific clarification.
St. Louis County Jail Visitation Hours
The Sheriff’s Office publishes the following lobby kiosk visiting hours for the Duluth jail:
| Day | Lobby kiosk visiting hours |
|---|---|
| Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM–10:00 AM |
| Saturday–Sunday | 8:00 AM–11:00 AM and 3:00 PM–5:00 PM |
Advance registration is required. The county says lobby visits must be preregistered through Reliance Telephone 1–8 days in advance.
Inmate Phone Calls, Video & Text Messaging
St. Louis County Jail uses Reliance Telephone for inmate communications, including phone services, texting and video calling.
The county describes Reliance Connect as the app used for video calls, while its communications page also contains a rollout notice. Confirm current video availability, charges and account setup directly with Reliance.
St. Louis County Jail Inmate Mail Address
The county implemented a TextBehind mail scanning process effective March 1, 2025. Ordinary personal mail must go to the designated processing address, not directly to the jail.
St. Louis County Jail, Minnesota
P.O. Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
The LID is available on the jail roster. TextBehind processes personal mail and provides copies to the facility for distribution. Its processing and delivery services operate Monday through Friday.
St. Louis County Jail Inmate Funds & Commissary
Each inmate has an account that can be used for approved purchases such as commissary and other necessities. The Sheriff’s Office says the facility uses Stellar Services to manage inmate funds and directs depositors to JailATM.
Reliance communications Wallet funding and JailATM inmate-account deposits are different workflows. Use the provider specified for the service you want.
Inmate Property Release & Pickup
For property held at the Duluth jail, the Sheriff’s Office instructs people to call 218-726-2345 to verify that the property is ready before arriving. Picture identification is required for all property releases.
Ask whether you need the inmate’s authorization, what identification is accepted, where pickup takes place and whether a particular pickup time applies. Do not travel without confirmation.
Attorney, Court Case & Release-Date Information
For a court case, the authoritative record is maintained by the Minnesota court system, not the jail roster. The Sheriff’s Office directs users to the Minnesota Court System for the current status of pending legal matters.
Use the roster to identify the booking and listed custody information, then use the Minnesota Judicial Branch to locate the relevant court or case-search resources.
For attorney communications, follow the facility’s privileged-communication rules. For projected release dates, remember that a roster estimate can change because of court action, holds, transfers or other lawful custody requirements.
St. Louis County Jail Address, Phone & Directions
The county describes a 197-bed jail in Duluth and two 72-hour lockup facilities on the Iron Range. The roster’s Location field matters because not every person held in the county jail system is necessarily housed at the Duluth facility.
