Conducting an Inmate Search in Minnesota County Jails 

The inmates sentenced for lower-level crimes are held in county jails, which run under the police departments. Those who wish to find information on an inmate in Minnesota County Jails must know the facility's name.  

Several county jails in Minnesota have created online platforms for the public to access inmate information easily. For example, the Hennepin County prison department has developed a Hennepin County offender lookup tool. This online search tool allows interested parties to get information on inmates in Hennepin County jails easily. 

Furthermore, one can search for inmate information by using third-party websites. Third-party websites only need the inmate's name and state. Third-party websites are not government-sponsored, but their most significant benefit is that they are not geographically restricted.  

The Minnesota inmate locator tool can also access information on individuals who have been declared fugitives by the law.  

Suppose you are looking for the inmate's release date; the data can be accessed via the Minnesota locator tool. If the data is sealed, it could be due to the mandatory protection of the inmate's privacy for security purposes. Only a restricted number of people can access the data, for instance, the inmate's close family members, authorized law enforcement officers, crime victims, and attorneys. 

Minnesota Department of Corrections 

All the activities in prisons and county jails in Minnesota are run by the Minnesota Department of Corrections. The department offers valuable work opportunities and health care as inmate programs and services. Minnesota Department of Corrections also partners with the state's local colleges and universities to provide inmates with vocational training and work opportunities to inmates.
