Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility Men's Section Resident Lookup

Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility Men's Section Overview

The Men's Section of the Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility is at 1145 Shenandoah Lane, Plymouth, MN 55447. It is operated by the Hennepin County Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation, not by the sheriff's downtown jail division. The ACF provides short-term custody and programming for adults convicted of felony, gross misdemeanor, and misdemeanor offenses, generally for county commitments up to one year.

The men's building is also the intake point for everyone ordered to report to ACF, even if the person will later be housed elsewhere. The county says people ordered to report are responsible for reporting on the date and time set by the court, and only the sentencing judge can change that. A person without transportation may report to the Public Safety Facility by 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays, for transport by ACF officers.

The ACF page is the source for admissions, capacity, work release, visits, mail, money, programs, and transportation notes. The official page is hennepincounty.gov/services/justice-corrections/adult-corrections/adult-corrections-facility.

Men's Section Capacity and Population

The official Hennepin County ACF page states that the Adult Corrections Facility has total capacity of 477. The men's section accounts for 399 beds, while the women's section accounts for 78 beds. Those are sourced facility-capacity figures from the county page inspected June 18, 2026. Static official text reviewed did not provide a current daily men's population count.

The ACF's population is different from the downtown jail population. The downtown jail mainly holds adults accused before trial and people held on warrants or bail. The ACF Men's Section holds sentenced county residents, including work release and program residents, after a court commitment order.

How to Look Up a Men's Section Resident

Use the official Adult Corrections Facility roster for the Men's Section. The ACF roster maintains searchable public records for individuals in ACF custody and individuals whose sentence was completed in the past seven days. It warns that the information is provided as a public service and should not be relied on for legal action. The roster also links users looking for the sheriff's jail to the separate jail roster, which is important because the two systems cover different populations.

1. Open the ACF roster at hjip.co.hennepin.mn.us/hjipacf/search/search.xhtml.
2. Enter first name, last name, or both, then choose Search.
3. Use Clear to reset the form if the name spelling is uncertain.
4. Confirm the person is an ACF resident or a sentence-completed resident from the past seven days.
5. If the person is instead pretrial downtown, use the sheriff jail roster or call jail information at 612-348-5112.

The ACF roster source is the official ACF roster search page.

Men's Section Address and Contact

The main ACF phone number is 612-596-0001. The central intake desk is 612-596-0003. People reporting for an ACF sentence should follow the court's report date and time and bring the required admission materials. The county notes Metro Transit routes 771 and 776, although service may change.

Visiting a Men's Section Resident

ACF personal visits use video visiting. Onsite visits are 25 minutes and free. Visits may be scheduled up to two weeks ahead and at least 24 hours ahead. Visitors need government identification, should arrive 10 minutes early, and minors must be with a parent or legal guardian. Birth certificate or guardianship documents may be required for minors. Two adults may visit at one time. Former residents cannot visit within 60 days of release, and cellphones, cameras, recording devices, food, and beverages are not allowed.

Mail, Phone, Work Release Fees, and Money

ACF resident mail uses the resident's name, c/o ACF, 1145 Shenandoah Lane, Plymouth, MN 55447. County mail guidance states that a cell number is not necessary. Phone calls use Securus. Work release residents pay $20 daily room and board unless waived or reduced. Work release residents generally must work at least 28 hours per week or earn 12 school credits per semester, and county guidance notes that employment verification can take up to two days before release for work is allowed.

Money rules are ACF-specific. Cash and checks received by mail are returned. Deposits use onsite Cobra Cashier kiosks in the men's and women's lobbies or electronic MoneyGram with company name SSC Inmate Funding, receive code 7950, facility ID MSP. Care packs are available through My Care Pack online or by calling 1-866-643-9557, with one pack per week delivered during canteen time.

Admissions and Intake at the Men's Section

ACF intake is not the same as a street-arrest booking at the downtown jail. Residents report under a court commitment after sentencing. Everyone reporting begins intake in the men's section building. The county says residents should bring identification, commitment paperwork, prescription medications in original containers, and medical alert ID bracelets. They should not bring valuables. Clothing, undergarments, shoes, and hygiene kits are provided at admission.

People who lack transportation may report to the downtown Public Safety Facility by 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays, for transport by ACF officers. That transport option is specific to ACF reporting and should not be confused with a jail roster lookup or warrant surrender.

Programs and Services at the Men's Section

ACF programming includes barber services, job skills training, Productive Day work in food, laundry, janitorial, library, and related work activities, GED readiness, continuing education, kitchen and food safety training, and classes with contracted providers. Medical and psychological services are on site, including substance use disorder treatment and social worker support. Spiritual offerings include worship and prayer services, Native American spiritual services, and sweat lodges constructed with American Indian OIC involvement.
