Pine County Jail Roster Access
The official Pine County custody list is a PDF roster linked from the Pine County jail roster page. The county page states that the roster is updated every hour, and the live roster is served from the county's official jail page even though the file itself opens from a direct IP address. It is not an interactive name-search database. A user must open or download the PDF, then use the browser or PDF viewer find tool to search a name, roster ID, charge text, agency, or other visible field.
The roster covers current Pine County Jail custody, including sentenced and pretrial adult men and women housed locally. It does not replace MCRO court records, a state driver record, a criminal-history record, or a DOC prison lookup. Current jail custody can point to court charges, bail, and arresting agency information, but later case outcomes usually belong in the District Court file. For charges after arrest, the court-side record is tracked in the Pine County arrest records and court charges file once a case is filed.
The manifest image from the Pine County Jail landing page shows the county's official jail section where custody links and facility information are grouped.
That source matters because Pine County jail records are maintained by the jail and sheriff, not by a private inmate-search site.
Use Pine County Inmate Roster
The Pine County inmate roster is best used as a current-custody screen. Open the PDF from the county jail roster page, confirm the printed date or update notice, and search within the document. If the person does not appear, try a state DOC search only after considering timing, release, transfer, spelling, and whether the person was booked into another county. A newly sentenced person may take several business days to appear in the Minnesota DOC public viewer.
- Open the county jail roster page and choose the linked roster PDF.
- Use the PDF find tool to search a last name, first name, visible roster ID, statute number, or arresting agency.
- Review the identity, age, race, gender, charge line, arrest date, held-for field, arresting agency, and bail or bond line.
- Check whether the roster entry lists Pine County custody, another agency hold, a fugitive entry, or a pending local charge.
- Call Pine County Jail at 320-629-8400 when custody status, bail, or release timing must be confirmed before travel or payment.
Note: The roster is useful for current custody, but MCRO and court administration remain the sources for certified court records.
Pine County Roster Fields
Pine County does not publish a roster form with first-name, last-name, booking-number, or date filters. The access field is the PDF itself. That makes the update notice and direct roster link more important than a search form. Treat the PDF as a snapshot, not a certified custody certificate.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jail roster | PDF download | n/a | No interactive search fields; user opens the current PDF. |
| Update frequency | Notice | n/a | County page says the Pine County inmate roster updates every hour. |
| Direct URL | Link | n/a | The official county jail page links to http://24.230.178.6/PCJ_Jail_Roster.pdf. |
The manifest image from the Pine County jail roster page documents the official page that links to the live roster PDF.
Because the roster is a PDF, careful name spelling and date checking are more useful than expecting database filters.
Pine County Inmate Record Details
The official PDF includes enough fields to identify the person, the booking context, and the basic legal reason for custody. It should not be read as a final conviction record. A charge line can show an allegation, warrant, fugitive hold, DWI-related entry, or other status text. Case outcomes, plea terms, sentencing orders, and court financial obligations come from the District Court record, not the jail roster alone.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Header | Pine County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Jeff Nelson, roster title, printed date, and page number. |
| Inmate identity | Mugshot, full name, and booking or roster ID number. |
| Demographics | Age, race, and gender as shown on the roster entry. |
| Charge line | Statute or citation number, offense description, and arrest-status text such as Arrest of Adult. |
| Holding information | Arrest date, held-for agency or authority, arresting agency, and bond or bail field. |
| Visitation notice | On-site visitation schedule, Reliance scheduling requirement, and no walk-in visit notice. |
Pine County Jail Contact
Pine County Jail is part of the same justice campus as the sheriff and court, but it uses its own suite and phone numbers. The jail is licensed by the State of Minnesota to house up to 131 inmates in three housing units. It holds sentenced and pretrial adult male and female offenders. Pine County describes the facility as a direct-supervision jail, with housing units that include video visiting stations, phones, common areas, basic programming space, and natural light.

Pine County Inmate Visits
Current Pine County jail and roster material lists scheduled visitation through Reliance and states that walk-in visits are not accepted. The jail FAQ also contains an older conflicting block for video visitation when available, with a 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. window. The current jail page and live roster schedule appear more current, so those hours should be checked first. Visitors should still confirm before travel because jail schedules can change for safety, staffing, court transport, or discipline.
| Day | Scheduled Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. | Scheduled basis only through Reliance |
| Thursday | 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. | Scheduled basis only through Reliance |
| Saturday | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. | Scheduled basis only through Reliance |
| Sunday | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. | Scheduled basis only through Reliance |
Official jail rules say visitors need a valid driver's license or state photo ID, visitors under 18 must be with a parent or guardian, all visitors are subject to a warrant check, visits may be monitored or recorded, and cellphones, food, beverages, and personal items are not allowed in the visiting area.
Pine County Inmate Mail and Money
Mail for a Pine County inmate should use the jail name, the inmate's full name, and the jail address at 635 Northridge Drive NW, Suite 130, Pine City, MN 55063. Letters and photos must arrive through the post office. Hand-delivered notes, cards, and photos are not accepted unless they come through the mail. An inmate may possess no more than three photos, Polaroids are not allowed, and image content must be appropriate under jail rules.
Money can be sent through the JailATM online deposit channel linked by the county, by money order through the mail, or by cash currency in the Pine County Sheriff's Office lobby drop box. The county recommends money orders for mailed funds and states that the jail is not responsible for cash sent through the mail. Lobby cash funds are usually available the next day rather than immediately. Vendor transaction fees were not published in the researched county pages, so rates should be checked with JailATM or Reliance before payment.
- Mail format: Pine County Jail, Inmate Full Name, 635 Northridge Drive NW, Suite 130, Pine City, MN 55063.
- Money order: Make it payable to the inmate and send it by mail.
- Lobby cash: Use the sheriff's lobby box; cash currency only and no coins.
- Reliance services: County links cover phone cards, texting, video calling, and video or texting funds.
- Bail questions: Call the jail at 320-629-8400 before paying because custody and bond status can change.
Minnesota DOC and VINE
When a person is not on the Pine County inmate roster, the next channel depends on the reason. The Minnesota DOC Public Viewer covers adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction, including prison and supervised release. DOC name search uses first and last name with begins-with matching and may include name history, AKA, or former names. DOC ID search requires a six-digit MNDOC offender ID; partial IDs do not return results.
The manifest image from the Minnesota DOC Public Viewer shows the state-level search channel for people under DOC jurisdiction.
That state search is broader than the Pine County jail roster but narrower than all court records, because it depends on DOC jurisdiction.
The Minnesota DOC Public Registrant Search is a separate channel for public-notification registrants. It should not be used as a general jail roster. Minnesota VINE is available online through VINElink and by phone at 1-866-664-8463 for custody-status notification. Pine County research did not locate an official Pine County Sheriff mobile app, so no app-only inmate, warrant, or records-request lookup should be assumed.
The manifest image from the Minnesota DOC Public Registrant Search illustrates the public registrant channel that is separate from county jail custody.
Use registrant and VINE tools for their limited purposes, then verify current local custody with Pine County Jail when release or bail timing matters.
Note: No official Pine County Sheriff mobile app was found in the researched sheriff, jail, dispatch, tip-line, records, or quick-link pages.
Pine County Jail Records Limits
Jail records sit between law-enforcement data and court data. The sheriff's office maintains custody and jail information, while Pine County District Court maintains the public case record once a criminal, traffic, or other court case exists. Minnesota public-data rules may apply to sheriff and jail records, while court files are governed by Minnesota Judicial Branch public-access rules. That split matters when a record is missing from one system but present in another.
Pine County Jail also states that it has a zero-tolerance PREA policy for sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Reports can be made to staff or volunteers, by kite to jail administration, through posted offender helpline numbers, through WINDOW Victim Services at 320-384-7113, through the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Community Advocate at 320-336-0214, or to the Pine County Jail PREA Coordinator's Office at 320-591-1458. The jail must undergo a PREA audit every three years and post the final report once completed.
