Hennepin County: choose the correct adult custody system

The Sheriff operates one downtown Adult Detention Center (ADC) in the Public Safety Facility and City Hall. County corrections separately operates the sentenced-adult Adult Corrections Facility (ACF) in Plymouth. Start with the correct roster or call the responsible facility; an arresting police department may not be the custodian.

Federal RRM Minneapolis and residential reentry records are separate from Sheriff jail custody.

Different custody systems.
Different places to start.

A Hennepin County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.

Who holds someone arrested in Hennepin County?

Usually Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility - Men, (612) 596-0140. The arresting agency books the person and the jail holds them; ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you act on anything.

Does posting bond mean the person comes home?

Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county\'s warrant, or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking, and ask the bondsman what happens if there are, before you pay.

What should I confirm before visiting?

Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.

What if I find something that needs correcting?

Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
