Pine County Jail Roster Online

Pine County posts its jail roster as a PDF file that you can view or download. The roster includes more detail than many other counties provide. Each entry lists the inmate's age, gender, race, holding information, the agency that made the arrest, arrest date, bond or bail amount, charges, and even on-site visitation schedule. The PDF has a printed date so you can tell how current the data is.

This is public data under MN Stat. § 13.82. Anyone can view it. The roster covers everyone in custody at the Pine County Jail at the time the PDF was generated. Newly booked inmates may not appear right away, and people who just got released might still show up until the next update. The jail updates the PDF daily, usually with a timestamp showing when it was last printed.
