Itasca County Jail Roster Search
The public jail roster is hosted by the Itasca County Sheriff's Office inmate search. It is the local access point for people booked into the Itasca County Jail at the Sheriff's Office complex in Grand Rapids. The roster is a live custody tool, so names and booking details can change as people are released, transferred, charged, or moved through court. The roster is useful for current jail custody, but it is not a complete criminal history search.
The Sheriff's Office homepage also promotes the Inmate Roster through quick links and the Itasca County Sheriff MN mobile app. County quick links tell users to download the app to access the jail roster, while the Sheriff's current web domain also exposes a public inmate search page. Treat the app as the promoted mobile access point and the web roster as the direct browser route.
The app is named Itasca County Sheriff MN. Its store listings describe public-safety news, crime reporting, tip submission, resources, firearms licensing, inmate roster access, data requests, Crime Stoppers, Minnesota Crime Watch, most wanted, recent arrests, and several sheriff forms. The app is not an emergency channel. For emergencies, call 911. For records work, the key point is that the app supports mobile access while the official Sheriff's website remains the browser source for roster and jail links.

The Sheriff's homepage matters because it links jail, roster, data request, and app resources from the same official office.
Use the Itasca County Inmate Roster
The roster is organized around a simple search filter and current inmate cards. Use the jail roster when the main question is whether a person is in Itasca County custody now. Use court tools when the question is a hearing date, plea, sentence, or final disposition. Charge buttons on the roster can help identify why a person is held, but the full case path is still checked through District Court records.
- Open the Itasca County inmate search from the Sheriff's Office website or use the Itasca County Sheriff MN mobile app.
- Type a name into the roster filter. The public search field is labeled "Type to Search" and appears to filter by roster text, most often a person's name.
- Review the listed cards for matching names, photos, and booking data. Use care with common names.
- Select "View Charges" when available to see the charge detail attached to that roster entry.
- Use "Notify Me of Status Change" if the public roster offers that option for the inmate record.
- Check MCRO or the Itasca daily court calendar when a court date or case disposition is needed.

Itasca County Roster Search Fields
The Itasca County jail roster search does not use a long form. It is closer to a live list filter. That makes it fast for a name check, but it also means the user should confirm the match by reviewing the roster card and any charge detail. The research did not confirm a separate booking-number search, date-of-birth search, or housing-unit filter on the public page.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type to Search | Text search/filter | No | Filters the visible jail roster by typed text, likely name. |
| Inmate list cards | Result list | n/a | Name is displayed in last, first format, with a mugshot image on roster cards. |
| View Charges | Button or link | n/a | Opens charge details tied to the listed inmate record. |
| Notify Me of Status Change | Button or link | n/a | Starts a custody-status notification signup when shown for the person. |
Note: Because the roster is live, avoid relying on a saved screenshot for release status or current charge status.
What Itasca County Inmate Records Show
Roster entries are built for custody status, not legal research. The public snippets reviewed for Itasca County showed booking dates and times, inmate ID, gender, age, and charges when charge details were expanded. Some fields that appear on jail systems in other counties were not confirmed in this pass. If a field is not visible, do not assume it is missing from the jail's internal system. Public roster data is a narrower public view.
The roster also should not be treated as a warrant list, sentencing record, or background check. A person may appear because of a new arrest, a hold, a sentenced jail term, a probation issue, or another custody reason. The public card may not explain every court event behind the booking. When the charge is important, match the roster detail to the District Court case number, court calendar, or MCRO entry before drawing conclusions.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Person listed in uppercase last and first name format. |
| Mugshot/photo | Roster cards show a public image for listed inmates. |
| Inmate ID | Identifier visible in some roster search snippets. |
| Gender and age | Basic demographic fields visible in snippets reviewed during research. |
| Booked Date | Date and time of jail booking when shown by the roster. |
| Charges | Charge detail available through "View Charges," including offense descriptions or statute references when supplied. |
| Bond | Not confirmed from the visible public roster snippet during research. |
| Court date | Not confirmed on the roster. Use MCRO or the daily court calendar for hearing dates. |
| Notify status | Public status-change notification feature visible on the roster. |
Itasca County Jail Contact Card
The Sheriff's Office and jail use the same Grand Rapids public-safety block listed in county directories. The Sheriff's records desk, jail phone, and annex phone serve different needs. Use the roster for current custody, the Records Division for sheriff data requests, and Court Administration for certified court case records. Jail staff can confirm custody and jail procedures, but they do not issue certified District Court copies.

The directory is useful when a roster search needs to become a records question, jail question, or sheriff contact.
Booking Process in Itasca County
After an arrest in Itasca County, the person is taken to jail for intake, identification, booking photo, property intake, and housing or classification review. The public roster reflects that booking result after processing. The timing of a public listing can vary because jail intake and case filing are separate events. A person may be booked before a full court record is easy to locate by name.
Charge data from jail intake should be read as custody information. Court charges, court dates, pleas, and dispositions belong in the District Court record. For the full court case, use MCRO, the daily calendar, or Itasca County Court Administration. If the person has a work-release or Huber issue, the research indicates Huber status begins with the court granting Huber at sentencing and the jail qualifying the inmate.
The Itasca County Jail staff directory was captured for jail staff and facility reference.
The jail staff page supports the distinction between custody operations and court-record functions.
County Jail vs State Prison
Itasca County inmate records cover county jail custody, including people held before court, people serving local jail time, and other county custody situations. State prison and fugitive searches are separate. The Minnesota DOC incarcerated individual and fugitive search is the state route for sentenced prison custody and fugitive information. Public conviction-history checks are also separate and should use the BCA criminal-history system rather than the jail roster.
The Minnesota DOC search page is included in the assigned inmate image set.
The state DOC image helps separate county jail roster searches from state prison and fugitive lookups.
Itasca County Jail Visitation Schedule
The Itasca County Jail uses non-contact video visitation. Public visits are handled through Inmate Canteen and TurnKey Corrections. Visitors must set up an account at Inmate Canteen through the jail visitation page. Off-site visits can be made from a computer or device, while on-site visits use public jail lobby kiosks. Lobby kiosk visits are free, but off-site activity has a vendor fee.
| Visit Type | Day | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site video visitation | Tuesday | 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | First come, first served. |
| On-site video visitation | Thursday | 1 p.m.-4 p.m. | First come, first served. |
| On-site video visitation | Sunday | 1 p.m.-4 p.m. | First come, first served. |
| Off-site video visitation | Daily | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | Fee charged by Inmate Canteen. |
Visits are not permitted before the inmate is moved into a housing unit, and visits may be denied when the inmate is on discipline. Visitors must be at least 18. One adult and two children may visit at one time. The jail monitors video visits and may suspend visits for improper behavior, attire, noise, intoxication, safety issues, or security concerns.
Phone, Mail, and Custody Contact
Itasca County Jail uses Reliance Phone Company for inmate calling and texting. Calls out of the jail are prepaid or collect. To leave an inmate a voicemail, use 218-212-3210. To set up a Reliance account, use 800-896-3201. The research did not locate official mail-rule details such as postcard-only rules, scan policies, or envelope limits, so mail questions should go to the jail phone rather than being guessed from another county's policy.
Video visitation rules are strict because the jail monitors visits in real time. The official visitation page lists denial or suspension reasons that include shared accounts, improper clothing, suspected intoxication, excessive profanity, sexual conversation, nudity, noise, and safety or security concerns. On-site visitors must leave food, drinks, electronic devices, and personal items outside the visiting area or in a lobby locker. Violations can lead to loss of on-site and off-site visit privileges for up to one year.
A custody record and a court case record are different files. The jail can answer custody process questions, while the court can answer hearing and certified-copy questions. For charges after arrest and the court path after booking, the related Itasca County court charge records explain how booking data connects to the prosecutor and District Court.
Note: The jail roster is not for emergencies, and the Sheriff's mobile app store pages also tell users to call 911 for emergencies.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The Itasca County Inmate Canteen page says users can make deposits or buy items for an inmate through the Inmate Canteen website. Inmates may use account funds for postage-paid envelopes, snacks, soft drinks, and other necessities. Credit-card deposits require creating an Inmate Canteen account. People without internet access can make credit-card or cash deposits at the kiosk in the Sheriff's Office.
Huber and work-release questions are more specific. The Sheriff's Huber Law page links a Huber application and explains that jail participation depends on court permission and jail qualification. Because Huber details can turn on the sentence and jail screening, custody status should be confirmed with the jail and the underlying court case should be checked in District Court records.
