Choose the Right Channel

Start with the custodian or record type involved:

  • Use the home search and records coverage for a released person or county release-data request.
  • Use Post-Release Supervision for probation, supervised release, or 6W contacts.
  • Use 24-Hour Releases for the same-day no-feed fallback.
  • Use Release Date Lookup and VINE Inmate Check for date or notice questions.
  • Use Minnesota DOC for a sentenced state prisoner and BOP for a federal prison record.
  • Use ICE's locator for immigration detention and the federal court or USMS district office for federal pretrial custody.
  • Use a facility page from the footer when the holding system is known.
