Why This Reference Exists
Minnesota makes many jail, arrest, court, and correctional records available through public agencies, but the correct source depends on who holds the person. Sheriff Dawanna Witt and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office operate the downtown adult jail roster for pretrial detainees and recent releases. The county Adult Corrections Facility has its own roster for short-term sentenced residents, while MNDOC, BOP, and ICE operate separate locator systems for state, federal, and immigration custody.

What This Site Cannot Do
This is a privately operated website. It is not part of Hennepin County, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, the Hennepin County Jail / Adult Detention Center, MNDOC, BOP, ICE, MCRO, or any government agency.
- It cannot release, hold, transfer, or move anyone in custody.
- It cannot post bond, accept bail, schedule visits, or deposit money for a detainee.
- It cannot provide legal advice or decide whether a record may be used in a particular situation.
- It cannot change, remove, or pull an official jail, court, warrant, or corrections record.
Only the office that created or maintains a record can provide an official custody, charge, bond, release, or case-status answer.
