Visitors must be at least 18 years of age and have not been incarcerated in the last 30 days or a victim of the offender. Underage children of inmates may be allowed to visit if they are accompanied by a legal guardian or other adult approved by the Jail Administrator. All visitors over 18 must present a valid government ID such as driver's license, state ID card, military ID, or passport. To be accepted the ID must be a recognized government agency and have a picture and proof of age. Work, school, and check cashing IDs are not accepted. There are no exceptions.

VINE - Victim Information & Notification Everyday:
VINE is a free, anonymous, computer-based service that provides victims of crime two important services: Information and Notification. VINE will tell you if an offender is in the custody of the Minnesota Department of Corrections of a county jail and will give you important custody information. VINE will also let you leave a phone number where you want to be called automatically when the offender is released, transferred, or escapes. Call 1-877-MN-4-VINE toll free.

Do not depend solely on the VINE service for your protection. If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released.
