Minnesota Inmate Search

The Minnesota Department of Corrections (MNDOC) is in charge of more than 7,000 prisoners in ten prisons in Minnesota. The agency also manages at least 104,000 convicts under the community supervision program. MNDOC works hard to change lives and enhance security among the residents. This is possible with the employment of more than 4,000 staff consisting of correctional officers, case managers, and other agents. 

Due to its imprisonment process, the state has additional convicts serving under supervised release. The Minnesota Act allows low-risk inmates to participate in community programs to free up prison beds. The beds are meant to accommodate high-risk inmates who threaten public security. 

Almost all inmates under the MNDOC programs are eventually released to the public. The Minnesota DOC makes follow-ups on the discharges through vocational training, treatment, and other beneficial programs. 

Minnesota State Inmate Search Process 

The Minnesota DOC has an offender locator tool on its homepage. You can locate an inmate either by name or Minnesota DOC inmate number. Here are the steps to follow; 

Step 1: Log into the Minnesota DOC offender locator page. 

Step 2: Enter the inmate's first or last name or the MNDOC ID number and click on the "search" icon. 

Step 3: The list of inmates with related details appears. 

Step 4: Click on the inmate's name of interest for more information regarding their custody status. 

An effective search process provides details such as; 

• Date of birth 
• Inmates full names 
• Minnesota DOC inmate ID number 
• Name of the incarceration facility 
• Current status custody 
• Release and sentencing dates 

Alternatively, you can visit the specific jail housing the offender. Minnesota has about 82 county jails and ten state prisons. Nearly all the county jails have a reliable inmate lookup tool available to interested members to perform the search by name for free. The online system is highly recommended since it produces the most recent contacts, physical addresses, and accurate details.
