Statewide Busted Mugshots Search

State databases cover Morrison County alongside the rest of Minnesota. The DOC Public Viewer tracks state prison inmates and those on supervised release. The BCA maintains criminal history records. Their public search at cch.state.mn.us shows convictions for up to 15 years after sentence discharge.

These state tools are most useful when someone has moved past the county jail level. If they received a state prison sentence, the DOC viewer will have their record. If they were convicted and sentenced locally, the BCA search will show the conviction. For current jail inmates, stick with VINELink or the Brainerd Dispatch in-custody list.
