Kandiyohi County Booking Reports: Data Fields Explained
The data in the Kandiyohi custody list is more detailed than most county rosters. Here's what each field means and how to use it correctly.
The photo is taken at the time of booking. The MNI number is a Minnesota-assigned identifier used throughout the state criminal justice system. The booking number is assigned by the Kandiyohi County Jail at intake and is specific to that arrest event. The intake date shows when the person was processed into the facility.
Charges include the statute number along with the charge description. For example, you might see "MN Stat 609.224" for a fifth-degree assault. Knowing the statute number lets you look up the exact law at the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes and understand the legal parameters of the charge. Bail and bond data shows whether financial conditions have been set and what they are. A no-bail hold means release requires a court order. A bail amount shows what the person or a bail company must post to secure release before trial.
All of this data is public under Minnesota Statute 13.82, which classifies arrest records as public government data. The Kandiyohi County Sheriff is legally required to make this information available to the public as part of the state Data Practices Act.
