Pine County Booking Reports and the Jail Roster
The Pine County Sheriff's Office makes current booking data available through a jail roster in PDF format. The roster is downloadable directly from the county website at co.pine.mn.us. It lists people currently held at the Pine County Jail in Pine City and updates as new bookings are processed. The PDF format means you can download and search it quickly without any login or fee.
The Sheriff's Office also maintains a detailed FAQ page at co.pine.mn.us/departments/sheriff/frequently_asked_questions.php that answers common questions about visitation, inmate communications, property, and the jail process. This is a useful resource if you need to understand what happens after someone is booked. The main county website at co.pine.mn.us links to all sheriff and jail-related pages.
Minnesota Statute 13.82 classifies arrest and booking data as public government data. Under chapter 13 of the Minnesota Statutes, the Sheriff must make basic booking information available. This includes names, dates, charges, and custody status for adult arrests. Records involving juveniles or active investigations may be withheld. All other adult booking data is available to the public.
Note: The Pine County jail roster is a PDF document available at the county website; download it directly for the current list of inmates at the Pine City facility.
Pine County Jail Facility Details
The Pine County Jail opened in February 2008 and has a capacity of 131 inmates. It uses a direct supervision model, which means staff are stationed inside housing units rather than in separate control rooms. Direct supervision facilities typically see lower rates of inmate-on-inmate conflict because staff are present in the living areas at all times.
The facility has three housing units. Each unit can house different security classifications depending on current population and individual risk levels. The jail handles bookings from arrests made anywhere in Pine County, including by the Sheriff's Office, local police departments, and state troopers operating in the area.
The inmate message line at 320-322-1014 allows family members to leave messages for inmates. This is separate from scheduled visitation and provides a way to pass brief messages when direct contact is not possible. For questions about visitation schedules, accepted items, or how to add funds to an inmate's account, the jail FAQ page at the county website covers these topics in detail.
