What This Site Does
Minnesota law makes many jail, law-enforcement, corrections, and criminal-history records public under statutes such as Minn. Stat. 13.03, 13.025, 13.82, 13.85, and 13.87. The harder part is understanding which record system applies. In Nobles County, Sheriff Ryan Kruger's office operates the Nobles County Jail for local arrests and short local custody, while sentenced state prisoners are searched through the Minnesota DOC Locator and federal or immigration custody belongs in separate national systems. This site organizes those record categories in one place.
