The eligible release date is the earliest date the person could be released based on their sentence or bail status. This date may change based on court orders, good time calculations, or changes in case status. For the most current release date information, call the jail at 651-257-4100 or use the VINE system.
Under Minnesota Statute 13.82, arrest and booking data is public. Minnesota Statute 13.85 makes correctional facility records including inmate rosters publicly accessible. Minnesota Statute 641.05 requires the sheriff to maintain formal booking records for all admissions and releases.
