Find Booking Reports in Isanti County
Isanti County Booking Reports are public records maintained by the Isanti County Sheriff's Office in Cambridge and document every person booked into the county jail since its original construction in 1984. This page explains how to use the In Custody list, what each booking record contains, how to find warrants, and where to access related court and state records for Isanti County.
Isanti County Booking Reports
Isanti County In Custody List
The Isanti County Sheriff's Office maintains an In Custody page at co.isanti.mn.us that lists people currently held at the county jail. This is the primary tool for finding Isanti County booking reports online. The list shows names, booking dates, charges, and custody status for people currently in the facility.
The Isanti County Jail was built in 1984 and expanded in 2005. It holds up to 112 prisoners. It's a mid-size facility for a county in the outer Twin Cities metro. The jail serves Cambridge and all other communities in the county. Any arrest in Isanti County by a sheriff's deputy or local police will typically result in a booking at this facility.
If you can't find someone on the In Custody list, it may mean they've been released, transferred to a different facility, or their record hasn't yet been posted. In that case, call the sheriff's office at (763) 689-2141 for confirmation. The phone line gives you real-time status rather than relying on an online list that may have a brief posting delay.
Note: The Isanti County In Custody list reflects people currently held at the facility and may not immediately show very recent bookings -- call (763) 689-2141 to confirm status for recent arrests.

Isanti County Warrants
The Isanti County Sheriff's Office publishes active warrants at co.isanti.mn.us/455/Warrants. This list shows people who have outstanding arrest warrants in the county. It's a separate resource from the In Custody list, which only shows people already booked into the jail.
Warrants appear when a judge issues an order for a person's arrest. This can happen if someone fails to appear in court, violates probation, or is charged in a new case. A person with an active warrant can be arrested at any time. Checking the warrant list can help you understand why someone was arrested or whether someone you're trying to locate may be subject to arrest.
Note: The Isanti County warrants list covers active arrest warrants issued by county courts and is separate from the In Custody booking list.
Jail Visitation Schedule
Visits to inmates at the Isanti County Jail follow a set weekly schedule. Visiting is allowed on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Each visit is limited to 20 minutes. Showing up outside these windows won't result in access, so plan around the set schedule.
Visitors should bring valid photo identification. The jail has rules about what can be brought in and what visitors must wear. Call the sheriff's office at (763) 689-2141 before visiting to confirm any requirements that may have changed. Attorneys typically have separate access outside the visitor schedule and should contact the office directly to arrange visits.
Minnesota Statutes and Booking Data
Minnesota Statutes section 13.82 classifies arrest data as public government data. The Isanti County Sheriff must release basic booking information under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. This covers names, arrest dates, arresting agencies, and charges. The public can request records and access this data without needing to explain why.
Juvenile records are handled differently. Most juvenile arrest and booking data is not public. Active investigations may also restrict what gets released while cases are open. Sealed or expunged records are not publicly accessible. For adult arrest records, public access is the default under state law.
Records with restricted data, such as those involving cooperating witnesses or active undercover work, may be withheld. If a request is denied, the agency must explain why and cite the specific statutory basis for the restriction. You can appeal a denial through the state's Department of Administration Office of Administrative Hearings.
Court and Statewide Records
Minnesota Court Records Online covers case filings, hearings, and outcomes for the 10th Judicial District, which includes Isanti County. If someone was arrested and charged in Isanti County, their court case will appear in this system. You can search by name or case number and track how the case moved through the courts.
For broader criminal history, the BCA Criminal History search covers statewide conviction data compiled by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. This gives a fuller picture beyond what any single county's jail roster shows.
