Ramsey County Jail Roster

The Ramsey County jail roster gives you access to records for all inmates at the Adult Detention Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. You can search the roster online to find names, booking numbers, charges, court dates, and release information. Ramsey County is the most densely populated county in Minnesota and the jail processes a large number of bookings. The sheriff's office keeps the roster updated every 30 minutes. Whether you need to check on someone after an arrest or look up an active warrant, Ramsey County offers some of the best online tools in the state for jail roster searches.

Search Ramsey County Inmates

Ramsey County has one of the most comprehensive jail information systems in Minnesota. The inmate roster and booking reports page lets you search by name or browse the full list of current inmates. The data updates every 30 minutes, which makes it one of the most current rosters in the state.

Each record on the Ramsey County jail roster shows the inmate's full name, booking number, date of birth, arresting charges, formal charges if filed, court case numbers, court dates, and where proceedings will take place. Records stay visible while someone is in custody and for five days after release. That gives you a short window to find information even after someone leaves the jail.

The county also has an Open Data Portal that provides the jail roster in a different format. The open data version may be easier to work with if you want to sort, filter, or download the data. It pulls from the same source as the main roster page.

Ramsey County Warrant Search

In addition to the jail roster, Ramsey County offers a warrant search tool. You can look up outstanding warrants by name. This is separate from the jail roster but useful if you want to know whether someone has an active warrant in Ramsey County. The warrant database covers cases where charges were filed but the person has not been picked up yet.

The warrant search and the jail roster work together. If someone with an outstanding warrant gets arrested, they will appear on the jail roster. If they have not been arrested, they show up only in the warrant search. Use both tools if you want a full picture of someone's status in the Ramsey County system.
