It updates a few times every day (last one was 11:13 AM on Feb 21, 2026). You’ll see full table: photo, full name, age, booking number, intake date, exact charges, and bail amount if set.
No search box – just press Ctrl + F (or Command + F on phone) and type the last name. Leave first name blank if spelling is unsure. Scroll through the list – it shows everything you need to know about custody status, charges, and bail reality.
If the name isn’t there yet, call inmate info immediately – new bookings can take a few hours to appear.
Call the Jail and Get Real Answers
Main line: 320-214-6700 Inmate information (best extension): ext 3600
Have ready: full name + date of birth. They’ll tell you exact status, current bail, next court date. They do not let you talk to the inmate on this call – that’s for emergencies only (they’ll pass a short message).
Office hours for most things: 8 AM – 4:30 PM weekdays, but inmate info line answers longer.
Bail Reality – Cash or Bondsman? How to Get Them Out Fast
Bail is set at the first court appearance (usually within 36 hours of arrest, not counting weekends/holidays).
Check the roster – it shows the amount and if it’s cash-only or allows bond.
Two ways to post bail:
- Cash bond – Pay full amount at the jail (cashier’s check or money order preferred). Get it back after the case ends if they show up in court.
- Bail bondsman – Pay only 10% (non-refundable) and they post the full bond. Fastest option.

Call them first if bail is high. They know the exact process here.
Send Money for Commissary, Snacks, Hygiene or Phone Calls
Inmates need money for food, soap, phone time – send it tonight.
Fastest options:
- At the jail lobby kiosk: Paper bills only (no coins). Hits the account instantly.
- Online: Go to www.inmatecanteen.com → choose “commissary/trust account” (not communications if you want spending money). Credit/debit card works.
For phone/text specifically: Securus or Reliance sites also accept deposits.
Mailing cash is slow and risky – use the above.
