Search Beltrami County Inmate Records

Beltrami County inmate records start with the county jail roster for people held in local custody after arrest, before court, or on short local sentences. A Beltrami County jail roster search can help confirm whether a person is in the county jail, what booking information is public, and which office can answer follow-up questions. The county jail record is not the same as a state prison, federal, or immigration custody record. Beltrami County, Minnesota users should check the local roster first, then use the state and federal lookup paths when the person is no longer in county custody.

Beltrami County Jail Roster

The official current-custody search is the Beltrami County Inmate Locator, a ProPhoenix roster branded for the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office. It is used for people held at the Beltrami County Adult Correction Center, the county jail at 626 Minnesota Ave. NW in Bemidji. Sheriff Jason Riggs is the current sheriff identified in the research sources, and the jail page and sheriff page route custody questions through the county jail phone and records office rather than a separate app.

The locator is free and did not show a login requirement in the extracted official material. Its own notice warns that the sheriff's office cannot guarantee accuracy, that the data should not be used as the sole basis for legal action, and that booking does not prove guilt. That distinction matters in Beltrami County inmate records. The roster can show an arrest charge or hold while the formal court case is still being filed, amended, or reviewed by the Beltrami County Attorney and District Court.

For county-specific source checks, use the county Adult Correction Center page, the Sheriff's Office page, and the Sheriff's Records Office page. Those sources are the local trail for jail contact numbers, walk-in records service, visitation rules, and the Adult Correction Center information block.


Use Beltrami County Roster

A practical Beltrami County inmate records search starts with the roster, then moves to phone or records staff only if the online record does not answer the question. The official page does not publish a refresh rate or a release-retention period, so very recent arrests and very recent releases need a direct jail check. If the arrest is fresh, call the jail before assuming that a blank search means no custody.

  1. Open the Beltrami County Inmate Locator and start with the person's last name.
  2. Add a first name, gender, or birth year only when the common-name results need to be narrowed.
  3. Click Search and review the Search Results area for a matching name, booking number, age, sex, intake date, or charge line.
  4. Open the Inmate Details area to check custody date, bail or fine amount, court date, charges, holds, and visitor information.
  5. If no result appears, clear the form and retry with fewer fields, then call 218-333-4189 if custody is still likely.

The county's archived custody list confirms the public roster can show a photo placeholder, MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, and charges. It also showed charge lines with severity, court or pending status, statute references, plain-language charge text, and hold language. For booking-photo detail, the separate Beltrami County jail mugshots page covers the photo field and Minnesota booking-photo law.


Beltrami Roster Search Fields

The Beltrami County jail roster uses a small set of fields. The official source did not mark every field as required, so the safest search is broad first and narrow second. The portal also includes language links, which can help users who need the roster interface in Spanish, French, or German.

The official Adult Correction Center page is a good source for current jail rules. The county screenshot from the Beltrami County Adult Correction Center page shows the facility information and visitation material used with the roster process.

Beltrami Inmate Profile Fields

A Beltrami County inmate profile is more than a name match. It is the public view of a county jail booking record, and it can combine identity, custody, court, bail, charge, hold, and visiting information. Some fields may be blank or may vary by active record, but the research found these field labels in official roster markup or in the archived custody list.

FieldWhat It Shows
Booking Number / Booking#Local jail booking identifier, with archived examples using five-digit numbers.
MNI / SPN / CJIS-style IDsPerson or system identifiers tied to the jail record.
Name / Full NameThe inmate name used in the roster profile.
DOB / Age / SexDate of birth or age and sex fields used for identity checks.
Physical descriptorsRace, height, weight, hair, and eye fields exposed in detail markup.
Booking Status / Custody DateCustody status and the date or time the person entered custody.
Eligible Release DateRelease-eligibility field, which may be blank depending on the case.
Inmate Cell LocationHousing or cell-location field, subject to active-record limits.
Photo / Click to View ImageBooking image link or placeholder when an image is available.
ChargesCharge code, statute, description, severity, and status.
Bail/Fine AmountRoster-level bail or fine summary.
Bail Amount / Bail TypePer-charge bail fields exposed by the detail grid.
Hold Reason / AgencyDOC, other-agency, or other-jurisdiction hold information.
Court Date / Branch InfoCourt appearance date and court or branch information.
Visitor InformationDetail field for visit-related notes when published.

These are jail data fields, not proof of a conviction. Minnesota law also treats arrest and conviction history differently. A roster charge may later be changed, dismissed, or replaced by a prosecutor-filed charge in court, so the court case should be checked separately when legal status matters.


Beltrami Custody Lookup Chain

The Beltrami County roster covers local jail custody. It does not replace the Minnesota Department of Corrections, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the ICE detainee locator, or VINE notifications. This is the most common mistake in inmate records searches: a person can leave the county jail after sentencing, transfer for a federal case, or be subject to an immigration detainer, and each path has a different public lookup tool.

Custody StageWhere to LookWhat It Covers
Beltrami County pretrial or local sentenceBeltrami County Inmate LocatorCurrent county jail custody at the Adult Correction Center.
Jail phone fallback218-333-4189Recent custody status, release questions, and roster gaps.
Records request or walk-inSheriff's Records OfficeCrime, arrest, booking, citation, and related report records.
Minnesota prison or supervisionMNDOC LocatorAdults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections in prison or under DOC supervision.
Custody notificationMinnesota VINECustody-status and criminal-case notification registration.
Federal sentenceBOP Inmate LocatorFederal inmates from 1982 to present.
Immigration custodyICE Online Detainee Locator SystemImmigration detainees, separate from Beltrami County and BOP.

The MNDOC search is a later-stage source. Newly sentenced Beltrami defendants may take several business days to appear there, and no Minnesota DOC adult prison is physically listed in Beltrami County. The BOP and ICE tools are also separate from the county jail. No official Beltrami sheriff or Bemidji police custody app was found, so use the website channels, phone, records office, VINE, MNDOC, BOP, and ICE instead.

For state custody, the source page is the MNDOC Locator. The matching screenshot shows the search choice between name and MNDOC offender ID.

Beltrami Jail Contact Card

The Beltrami County Adult Correction Center is the only local facility in the resolved facility list for this site. It is operated by the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and serves as the county's current jail for adult local custody. The replacement jail project at 815 Pioneer Street SE is documented in county material, but the current public jail address remains the Minnesota Avenue NW facility unless county operations are later moved.

Beltrami Booking Record Flow

Official county sources do not publish a full booking workflow, but the roster fields and Minnesota Rule 2911 show the local sequence. After arrest in Beltrami County, a person is brought to the Adult Correction Center or processed through court. Intake normally includes identity collection, a booking number, fingerprints, a booking photograph, property inventory, screening, charge or hold entry, classification, and housing assignment.

Classification means the jail's decision about housing and security level. A detainer or hold means another agency wants notice or continued custody before release. A DOC hold may involve Minnesota Department of Corrections supervision or a state sentence issue. These fields can affect release even when a bail amount appears on the roster. The Beltrami County court records after jail arrest page explains how booking charges move into formal court records.

Note: If the arrest is recent, search first, then call the jail because official sources did not publish roster timing.


Beltrami Inmate Visitation Schedule

Beltrami County publishes visitation windows through the Adult Correction Center page. Visits through the lobby kiosk are short and rule-based, while off-site video is handled through InmateCanteen and Turnkey Corrections. Visitors should confirm the inmate is still in custody before travel because a release, transfer, court transport, or hold change can alter access.

Visit TypeSchedule / LengthRules
Lobby/on-site video kioskDaily 7:30-11:30 a.m.; 2:00-5:00 p.m.; 7:00-9:00 p.m.; visits are 15 minutes.ID required; one inmate per visitor per day; under-18 visitors need parent or legal guardian; cameras prohibited.
Off-site videoAccount setup through InmateCanteen.Monitored; abuse or improper use can end video privileges.
Attorney/bondspersonNo public schedule found in extracted county text.Jail rules prohibit attorneys or bondspersons from soliciting services through inmates.

All persons entering the jail may be warrant-checked and searched for contraband. People named in an order for protection or harassment order involving an inmate may be denied visits with that inmate. Intoxication, false information, nudity, profanity, threats, safety issues, security concerns, or illegal activity can also end a visit or revoke privileges.


Beltrami Mail Money Calls

The official jail material links video visitation and e-mail to InmateCanteen. It also references Turnkey Corrections commissary material, a Reliance phone contract, Trinity food service, Wellpath medical agreements, and a JPay image or link in the inmate locator markup. The county research did not locate a public fee table or a complete current money-deposit instruction page, so fees and vendor rules should be confirmed before payment.

Mail rules were also limited in the extracted official text. Use the facility address and the inmate's name or booking number only after checking with the jail. Many jails change mail scanning, money order, photo, and envelope rules, and Beltrami County's public material did not support adding a detailed mail policy beyond confirming current instructions with the Adult Correction Center.

Note: Confirm custody, vendor rules, and current fees with the jail before sending money, mail, or video-visit funds.
