Pine County Jail Mugshots and Inmate Roster

Pine County publishes its inmate roster as a PDF document that updates daily. You can download the current list directly at the Pine County Jail Roster PDF link.

Minnesota Law and Pine County Jail Records

Several Minnesota statutes govern access to Pine County jail mugshots and inmate records. The most relevant is Minnesota Statute 13.82, which classifies arrest data as public. This includes the person's name, the date and time of arrest, the specific charges, and the booking photo in most circumstances.

Sentenced offenders who move into state prison fall under Minnesota Statute 13.85, which covers correctional data. That statute has slightly different privacy rules compared to the arrest data statute. Both apply depending on where a person is held at any given time. For court case records tied to Pine County arrests, use the Minnesota Trial Court Public Access system to search filings by name or case number.

All persons listed in the Pine County Jail roster are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Charges in the PDF reflect initial booking charges and may change as the case moves through the court system.
