Hennepin County jail inmate search

You can check custody status online through the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office jail roster. The sheriff's office runs this tool and refreshes the list every hour.

It shows the names of people currently in the county jail and anyone released during the last 7 days. Each record lists charges, bail, and scheduled court dates. Read more on the sheriff's jail roster page.

Newly arrested people go through intake at the Public Safety Facility before appearing online. Because the online jail roster refreshes hourly, recent arrivals may not show up yet. Call 612-348-5112 to ask about a recent booking.

For custody questions, call the jail information line at 612-348-5112. Staff on that main line can confirm right away if someone is in jail.

A second number, (612) 596-8184, reaches the chaplain for pre-approving clergy visits on weekdays during the day. Do not use the chaplain's line for general questions. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office jail page lists both numbers.

The main facility is the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility, 401 South 4th Avenue, Minneapolis. Known as the Adult Detention Center, it is 1 of 2 jail locations. Come here to post bail 24/7 or visit room 235, per the Hennepin County Jail page.

Custody records and daily operations at the Adult Detention Center fall under the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's staff manage all booking records and answer the 612-348-5112 information line. For other counties, use the Minnesota inmate search directory.

Visits happen on video monitors at the Public Safety Facility, 2nd floor, room 235. Create a profile on Securus Friends and Family, wait for staff approval, and book on the sheriff's visit an inmate page.
