Red Lake County Jail Roster

Red Lake County does not publish a separate sheriff's jail roster for a local jail in Red Lake Falls. The Red Lake County Sheriff's Office states that county jailing is handled at the Tri-County Community Correctional Facility in Crookston, and the operating jail name is Northwest Regional Corrections Center. For current custody, the official starting point is the TCCC Local Inmate Roster page. That page links to a current PDF roster rather than an interactive search form.

The roster covers a regional population. It may include people held on Norman County, Polk County, or Red Lake County local charges, State of Minnesota contract inmates, warrants, holds from other jurisdictions, and some INS holds while the person remains at NWRCC. The roster page says updates occur Monday through Friday morning. A weekend arrest, same-day intake, transfer, or release may not show right away. If a name is missing, the next step is not to assume release. Call the jail information line or use the records channels described below.

The NWRCC roster page shows the PDF format and update pattern used for Red Lake County inmate records.

The local roster page is useful because it names the roster's scope, but the search work happens inside the linked PDF file.

Use the Red Lake County Roster PDF

The current NWRCC roster is a PDF list. The roster inspected in the research file was printed on June 18, 2026, at 7:38:38 a.m., ran 12 pages, and listed 92 rows. The file is alphabetized by last name, so a browser or PDF viewer find command is the fastest way to check a name. The file does not have a booking-number search box, county filter, submit button, or clickable inmate profile.

1. Open the official TCCC Local Inmate Roster page and choose the current roster PDF link.
2. Use Ctrl+F, Command+F, or the PDF viewer's find icon to search by last name first.
3. If the last name has several hits, compare first name, middle name or suffix, date of birth, incarceration date, and controlling charge.
4. Search again by first name, charge text, statute number, or date if the first search is too broad.
5. If the person is not listed, call NWRCC at 218-470-8100, option 3, or the sergeant's office at 218-470-8149 or 218-470-8150.
6. For records not visible on the roster, use the TCCC Data Practices request process rather than relying on the PDF alone.

PDF find is only as good as the text in the file. A misspelled name, hyphenated name, suffix, transfer, or weekday update lag can cause a search to miss a person. The roster also does not cleanly identify which county filed each case. A Red Lake County arrest can be housed in Crookston, while Red Lake County District Court records remain in the state court system.

Red Lake County Roster Fields

The official roster is best understood as a public list, not a database. It has visible columns and PDF controls, but no form fields. That changes how Red Lake County jail roster searches should be done: use the viewer's find tool, then verify the row against known identifying details before calling, visiting, sending money, or scheduling a video visit.

Because the roster is regional, the name search does not prove a person was arrested by a Red Lake County deputy. It proves the person appears on the current NWRCC public list. Court administration, the Red Lake County Sheriff's Office, or TCCC records staff may be needed to sort out the arresting agency, court date, full charge history, or county of case.

What Red Lake County Inmate Records Show

The roster PDF is narrow. It gives enough information to identify a current NWRCC inmate and understand the controlling custody reason, but it is not a full booking packet. It does not publish every detail that family members, employers, landlords, victims, attorneys, or courts may care about. Some data is private under Minnesota corrections and detention data law, some belongs in court records, and some must be requested from the government office that created or maintains it.

Common charge or status text can include parole violation, probation violation, failure to appear, fugitive from justice, and Hold - INS. A hold means another authority may have a custody claim, so ordinary bail may not end custody. A detainer is a notice or request from another agency, often tied to immigration, parole, probation, or another jurisdiction. A controlling charge is simply the main charge displayed for the roster row.

Booking photos tied to the current roster are addressed in more detail on the Red Lake County jail mugshots page, including what the PDF shows and what it does not preserve after a person leaves the current roster.

County, State, Federal, and ICE Records

Red Lake County inmate records split by custody type. A new arrest, local sentence, warrant hold, or regional jail hold belongs first in the NWRCC roster and TCCC contact path. A person sentenced to the Commissioner of Corrections moves into the Minnesota Department of Corrections system. Federal sentenced prisoners are searched through the Bureau of Prisons. Immigration detention is checked through ICE after transfer, though an INS hold may appear on the NWRCC roster while the person is still housed locally.

MNDOC allows searches by name or MNDOC Offender ID. Name searches use first and last name and may include all names associated with convictions, with results beginning with the letters typed. Newly sentenced people may take several business days to appear. BOP searches can use number or name fields, while ICE searches can use A-number and country or biographical data. No official Red Lake County sheriff mobile app, app-only roster, app-only warrant search, or app-only inmate tool was located in the research.

Red Lake County Jail Contacts

Most custody, transfer, and visitation questions for Red Lake County inmates go to the regional jail in Crookston. Sheriff-created law-enforcement records before jail transfer may still belong with the Red Lake County Sheriff's Office. TCCC-held detention records that are not in the roster use the TCCC Data Practices process.

The TCCC request form allows inspection at no charge and copies with a possible fee. Requests can be mailed, brought to the Marin Avenue office, or emailed to the data-practices contact. It is the better path for jail data not published in the roster, while court dates and filed charges should be checked through the county court where the case appears.

Red Lake County Booking and Intake

A Red Lake County arrest that requires jail custody usually moves from local law enforcement to NWRCC. The facility intake path can include identity checks, property intake, medical and mental-health screening, a booking photo, fingerprints where required, classification, and placement in a housing unit. Once the person appears on the roster PDF, the public can usually see name, photo, incarceration date, date of birth, and controlling charge.

NWRCC says inmates receive an inmate handbook on admission. The property rules are narrow: money, prescription medication, and work release or STS clothing are the routine drop-off categories. The jail does not accept extra personal property except work release, STS, or medically necessary items approved by staff. Approved drop-offs are screened by law-enforcement security personnel Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.

For court dates, NWRCC tells callers not to call the jail. Court Administration for the county where the person will appear is the right contact. That is important in Red Lake County because custody can be in Crookston while the criminal case belongs in Red Lake County District Court.

Red Lake County Visitation Schedule

Visitation for Red Lake County inmates held at NWRCC uses Securus Video Visitation. Both on-site and off-site visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Visitors create a free Securus account, submit a picture and government photo ID for approval, and check in with corrections staff for on-site visits. Visitors under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian.

Each inmate may receive two 20-minute on-site visits daily and unlimited remote visits unless staff grants a different limit. Visits may be delayed, ended, or denied for security issues, lockdowns, no-contact orders, warrants, intoxication, contraband attempts, prohibited gestures, nudity, profanity, or visiting while driving. Reasonable accommodations are made for handicapped visitors.

Money and Contact for Red Lake County Inmates

NWRCC uses Securus Technologies for phones, voicemail, tablets, and e-messaging. Non-attorney calls are monitored and recorded. Staff do not take non-emergency inmate messages, so families generally use the approved Securus account and private mailbox process. Tablet access is a privilege tied to classification and behavior, and digital photos or video are reviewed before approval.
