Why This Reference Exists
Minnesota classifies many adult arrest and release details as public government data, but the information is spread across several custodians. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office keeps county booking and release data. The Minnesota Department of Corrections operates the offender viewer for people who remain under state corrections jurisdiction, including some people released from prison to supervision. Jackson County Probation and MNDOC field offices handle different forms of post-release supervision. Federal prison releases appear through the Bureau of Prisons.
This site organizes those official routes in one place. It explains why a person can leave the current county roster without necessarily entering the community, how to request the date and legal basis for a county release or transfer, and which search fits a county, state, federal, or immigration custody history.
