This is a private reference site, not a Koochiching County office. It cannot verify whether someone is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, pull a booking record, schedule a visit, or change a court date. Use the official offices below for those tasks.


Official Places to Start

For jail custody and current roster questions, start with the Koochiching County Jail or the Koochiching County Sheriff's Office. For sheriff accident, arrest, and incident reports, the county directs requesters to the Civil Division under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.

Use the route that matches the question, because jail custody, public reports, court cases, state-prison commitments, and federal or immigration custody are separate systems.

  • For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records and the Koochiching County Jail roster path.
  • For booking-photo questions, use jail roster mugshots and the sheriff records channel when the roster does not answer the question.
  • For charges filed after a booking, use court records after a jail arrest or call Court Administration.
  • For the local jail facility, use the Koochiching County Jail page.
  • For a sentenced Minnesota prisoner, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public locator instead of the county roster.
  • For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
