Why This Reference Exists
Minnesota makes many arrest, court, and release facts public, but Pope County has an unusual custody path. A Pope County arrest may lead to Douglas County Jail in Alexandria, while the criminal case stays with the Pope County court in Glenwood. Minnesota DOC maintains a separate offender search for people under state corrections jurisdiction. Supervision data, federal releases, and immigration transfers each have their own official source. This site organizes those routes so readers can choose the agency that created the record instead of treating one roster as a complete history.

The content focuses on practical release verification and direct government access paths:
- The home page combines the full released-person search path with release-record fields and request steps.
- Separate pages explain projected release dates, VINELink checks, and parole and probation.
- Facility pages distinguish Douglas County Jail from the Pope County Sheriff’s temporary holding and transport role.
- Instructions show how current jail, state DOC, court, VINE, BOP, and ICE systems differ.
- Records-request guidance identifies the custodian for a release timestamp, transport fact, or booking photograph.

- It cannot post bond, schedule visits, or send funds.
- It cannot confirm current custody or obtain an official record for a visitor.
