• Full name and booking number
• Photo of the inmate
• Intake date
• Charges filed
• Bail or bond information

The bail information is particularly helpful. It tells you how much it costs to get someone released. Not all county rosters in Minnesota include this. The photo helps confirm you are looking at the right person, which matters in a county where some names may be common. All of this is public data under MN Stat. § 13.82.
