Sherburne County Inmate Records and Jail Roster Search

Sherburne County Jail Roster Overview

The official county entry point is the Sherburne County Inmate Search page, which links to the county's public jail database. The direct Sherburne County Inmate Locator searches people currently in custody at the Sherburne County Jail. The jail is operated by the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Joel Brott and is located on the government-center campus in Elk River. The county's jail material describes a 732-bed secure coed regional facility that houses Sherburne County inmates along with ICE, U.S. Marshals, Bureau of Indian Affairs and other agency detainees.

The roster is an informational custody tool, not a final legal record. The public interface warns that the Sheriff's Office cannot guarantee roster accuracy, that the information should not be relied on for legal action, and that being booked into the jail does not establish guilt or conviction. For formal charges, hearings, dispositions, warrants and certified documents, use court records after jail arrest and Minnesota Court Records Online. For booking images, use the inmate detail page and the jail roster mugshots process.

The county roster also has a boundary. It covers local jail custody, including some contract detainees physically held at Sherburne. It does not replace the Minnesota Department of Corrections locator for people committed to state prison, the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal sentenced prisoners, or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration custody. A person can leave the county roster after transfer, release, or sentencing even though another public locator later shows a related custody record.

How to Use the Sherburne County Inmate Roster

Start with official county sources rather than a commercial result. The county instruction page links to the Sherburne County Jail database and also points users to the ICE locator when the question involves immigration custody. The roster search page has no login requirement in the research capture and accepts name and identity filters through a simple Search Tools panel.

1. Open the county Inmate Search page and choose the Sherburne County Jail database link.
2. Enter the last name when possible. Add a first name if the last name is common or if several results appear.
3. Use the Gender radio option only when known. The presence of an Unknown option means it should not be treated as required.
4. Enter DOB as a four-digit birth year if available, especially for common names or family members with similar names.
5. Review Search Results, then select the person to populate the Inmate Details panel.
6. Read the custody fields, bail/fine amount, booking status and court date carefully. Double-click case details if the interface shows that instruction.
7. Use Click to View Image when a booking photo is available, then confirm charge and court status through MCRO or the court clerk before relying on the information.

Sherburne County Roster Search Fields

The public interface is built around identity filters rather than a full historical booking search. Last name and first name are the main name fields. Gender and birth year help narrow results when spelling is uncertain or a name is common. The language selector is a page control, not an inmate attribute.

What a Sherburne County Inmate Profile Shows

After a person is selected, the Inmate Details panel can show demographic, booking, bond and court-related fields. These fields help answer "what does a roster record show," but they do not show every investigative record, every court filing or every agency hold. Minnesota law can also classify some detention data as private or confidential when release would affect safety, investigations, informants or institutional security.

Finding County, State, Federal and Immigration Inmates

The most reliable lookup chain follows custody status. Use the Sherburne roster first for people in the county jail. If the person was sentenced to prison, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public locator. Newly sentenced people may take several business days to appear in the DOC system. If the matter is federal or immigration related, use the BOP inmate locator for federal sentenced prisoners and the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for ICE custody or recent ICE release. VINELink remains useful for notification even when a roster entry is not enough.

No official Sherburne County Sheriff's Office mobile app with a roster, warrant list or records portal was found in the research. Use the county website, phone line, records request process and official state or federal locators instead of assuming app-only access exists.

Sherburne County Jail Facilities and Contact Cards

The shared facility list for this county has one local jail and one physically relevant state prison. The Sherburne County Jail is the county roster facility. Minnesota Correctional Facility - St. Cloud is a state prison and intake center for Minnesota men, so it belongs in the DOC locator path rather than the county jail roster path.

Booking Process in Sherburne County

A Sherburne County jail record usually starts with arrest or warrant surrender. People with active arrest warrants can turn themselves in at the jail 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The county bond page says warrant subjects must be processed by jail staff to confirm identity, including fingerprinting and photographing. After booking, the county creates an inmate account for money brought in at intake and for commissary use. Telephone access begins after the booking process is complete.

The public roster may then show custody date, booking status, bail/fine amount, court date and demographic details. If a warrant has a dollar bail amount, the person may be able to turn in and post bail or bond. If no amount is set, the person must be booked and appear before a judge, normally the following business day. Release is not instant after authorization; jail staff must process the release, and timing can vary with time of day and the number of people being processed.

Visitation Hours and Rules

Sherburne County Jail uses NCIC video visitation. On-site video visits are free, must be scheduled 24 hours in advance, and use Door I of the Sherburne County Government Center. A valid government-issued photo ID is required, and the county directs visitors to review its video visitation rules. Professional visits have broader hours and are scheduled by email at JAIL-ASST@co.sherburne.mn.us, subject to facility emergencies.

How to Contact a Sherburne County Inmate

NCIC Inmate Communications is the phone, voicemail and messaging provider. Incoming calls are not allowed. Phones are available in housing areas after booking, and three-way calls are prohibited. Prepaid accounts can be set up at NCIC or by calling 1-800-943-2189. The research lists local, in-state and out-of-state calls at $0.16 per minute; Mexico/Canada calls at $0.25 per minute; and international calls at $0.35 per minute. Voicemail costs $1.50 for up to three minutes and is monitored or recorded. Messages cost $0.25, and picture messages cost $0.35.

Mail must come through USPS. Mail requiring an inmate signature must also arrive through USPS. General correspondence rules require the inmate or detainee name and SPN on the envelope, the sender name and address, no more than four photos per mailing, photos no larger than 4x6, no piece larger than 8.5x11 and no more than five pieces or items to be copied or scanned. Cash, personal checks, money orders, stamps, blank paper, gift cards, labels, padded envelopes and similar items are prohibited or returned or placed in property under county rules.

Commissary, Inmate Funds and Records Requests

An inmate account is created at booking. Access Corrections handles deposits online, by telephone at 866-345-1884, through the jail lobby kiosk at Door D, and through the video visitation kiosk. Fees apply, and online or telephone deposits are credited within minutes according to county material. Commissary can include candy, pop, snacks, haircuts and stamps. Account information is available only to the inmate, and a released or transferred person receives remaining funds by check or debit card after the account is closed.

When the roster does not answer the question, use the Sheriff's Data Requests page. Identify the request as a Minnesota Government Data Practices Act request, state whether inspection, copies or both are requested, and include enough detail to locate the record, such as incident date and time, ICR or case number, location and involved names. The Records Division can be reached at Records@co.sherburne.mn.us or 763-765-3569 and says it will respond within ten business days with the data or a readiness and cost update.
