Minnesota Counties

Minnesota has 87 counties, each with a sheriff's office that runs the local jail and keeps inmate population records. County jails hold people who have been arrested and are waiting for court, those serving short sentences, and people held on probation or parole violations. The sheriff in each county manages booking records, jail rosters, and data requests.
