Jail records, court & arrest records, mugshots and even judicial reports
With the high rate of insecurity cases in Minnesota, people commit crimes and end up in jail. In every neighborhood there is that one family that has a son or daughter in prison.
Note, it’s the family’s wish to always contact the family member in prison, but it is often hard to be in contact, with so many regulations. Luckily, the Minnesota Department of Corrections has developed various sites to ensure efficient communication between kin and prisoners.
For a successful inmate search, look out for the Minnesota Inmate search website. To look up, the same prisoner, use State Prisoner Lookup and lastly, use doc offender locator to trace the prisoner’s location.
It is vital to note that the Minnesota Department of Corrections is the government agency responsible for controlling all that happens in every correctional facility in Minnesota. Also, it collaborates with American Correctional Association to ensure every information spread in its various sites meets all the Association requirements.
To effectively perform its work, it has a motto that strives to drive it, the paroles, commissioners, and correctional staff in the right direction. It also liaises with the individuals responsible for enforcing new programs and services in various Minnesota Correctional facilities.
All inmates jailed in Minnesota and placed in different facilities are all under the Minnesota Department of Corrections Jurisdiction. They have a reliable database for every prisoner in any corner of Minnesota. The good thing is, all information is accessible to the general public, and the case quickly locates a prisoner of their choice.
The Doc offender Locator search, which can only be used to lookup inmates held only in state prison. Strictly state prison since prisoners are categorized to different facilities based on their arrest or crimes committed. There are other prisoners in the county jails, police jails, and city jails. These ones can only be looked upon on other websites.

The Minnesota Department of Corrections is the state agency responsible for operating prisons. Its headquarters is at St Paul’s.
Over the years, so many correctional Facilities have changed their names. It mainly happens when the commissioner in charge transfers to another institution or when two facilities have joined to become one. For instance, Thistle dew camp changed to MCF- TOGO. It used to serve as a juvenile center, but it only serves male adults with the new name.
