Crow Wing County Inmate Programs

The Crow Wing County Jail stands out for its programming. The Impact Program is a newer effort that works on behavior change. It is not just about locking people up. The program tries to help inmates build skills and habits that keep them out of trouble after they get out. GED and high school diploma tutoring give inmates a chance to finish their education while inside. Volunteer programs let community members get involved too.

Work release is available for eligible inmates under the Huber law. This lets certain inmates leave the jail during the day to go to work and come back at night. It helps people keep their jobs and income while serving their sentence. Not everyone qualifies. The jail reviews each case and decides who can participate based on the charges, behavior, and risk level.

Crow Wing County Jail Roster Legal Framework

The Crow Wing County jail roster is public data under MN Stat. 13.82. Booking logs, arrest records, and inmate names are open for anyone to see. The sheriff posts this on the in-custody list. Private data under MN Stat. 13.85 stays hidden. That includes medical records, mental health evaluations, and internal discipline reports.

MN Stat. 641.05 puts Sheriff Klang in charge of the jail and all inmates. MN Stat. 387.03 backs this up. The DOC inspects the facility and Crow Wing County regularly scores at or near 100% compliance. That is a strong record and reflects well on how the jail is run.

Crow Wing County has a 287(g) agreement with the Department of Homeland Security. This allows limited immigration enforcement functions within the jail. The county also has a U.S. Marshal Service agreement to serve detainers. The sheriff's office has stated that it assists ICE with investigations and warrants but does not conduct targeted immigration enforcement on its own. This arrangement affects who shows up on the jail roster, as federal detainees may appear alongside people booked on state and local charges.
