What This Site Covers
Minnesota public-records law makes many jail and law-enforcement records available, but the agency that holds a record depends on the custody status. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office operates the Stearns County Jail roster for local adults in pretrial custody, sentenced county jail inmates, and Huber or work-release custody. The Minnesota Department of Corrections runs a separate public viewer for sentenced state prisoners, including people assigned to Minnesota Correctional Facility - St. Cloud. Federal prisoners and immigration detainees are searched through separate BOP and ICE systems.
