Hubbard County Jail Overview

Hubbard County Detention Center, often called HCDC or the Hubbard County Jail in official materials, is a secure coed county jail in Park Rapids. The jail is run by the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office. It serves as the booking and housing point for adult men and women arrested in Hubbard County by the sheriff's office, Park Rapids Police, and other agencies that use the county jail. The county also says the facility can house inmates for other counties, so a roster entry may not always mean the arrest began in Hubbard County.

The jail is part of the Law Enforcement Center campus near the Government Center and courthouse. The county's Corrections and Communications page says HCDC opened in May 2006 after construction began in September 2004. The same county page describes minimum, medium, and maximum custody housing. Direct supervision is used for medium and maximum custody inmates, which means corrections staff work inside the housing area. Minimum custody and work release housing use a podular remote model observed from master control, with regular well-being checks.

The facility is local jail custody, not a Minnesota state prison. Pretrial custody, short sentenced time, booking, bond, visits, mail, and commissary are handled through Hubbard County. A person sentenced to the Commissioner of Corrections may later appear in the Minnesota Department of Corrections public viewer instead of the county roster.

The county facility overview is shown on the official HCDC page. The Hubbard County Corrections and Communications page publishes the jail's building summary, staffing capacity, and booking-room contact.

That facility page is the source for the county's current public description of HCDC, including the local custody model and the jail booking-room number.

HCDC Capacity and Population

Hubbard County publishes more than one capacity figure, and the distinction matters. The county page says the detention center has 116 beds and is staffed to hold up to 60 inmates. The 2026 Minnesota DOC inspection report identifies the Hubbard County Jail as a secure coed jail with 116 approved secure coed beds and 104.40 operational capacity at 90 percent. The DOC report says the facility was inspected on May 14, 2026, and placed on biennial operating status from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028.

A roster count is not the same as an average daily population. The ProPhoenix roster reviewed on June 18, 2026 showed 30 visible records, which was a point-in-time public count. Current custody can change through arrests, releases, court orders, transfers, bond posting, sentence starts, and holds. No current official average daily population was located in the county or DOC materials reviewed, so the best sourced figures for Hubbard County Detention Center are capacity, staffed capacity, and the roster snapshot.

Hubbard County Inmate Lookup

Current Hubbard County Detention Center inmates are searched through the official Hubbard County Inmate Locator. The roster is free, public, and hosted on a county ProPhoenix subdomain. It supports last name, first name, gender, birth year, and language controls. Results can include full name, date of birth, sex, race, height, weight, booking number, SPN number, hair, eye, skin, housing-like location codes, and eligible release date when that field is populated.

Open an individual result for more detail. The research capture found labels for a booking photo link, bail or fine amount, custody date, booking status, court date, and court branch information. The page also says to double click to view case details. Roster data should still be checked against the jail, court, or records office before any legal action because the sheriff's roster disclaimer says the county cannot guarantee accuracy and a booking does not prove guilt.

1. Open the official Hubbard County Inmate Locator and search by name first. Use both first and last name when the last name is common.
2. Use gender or birth year only when needed to narrow results. A partial name can miss records if the spelling is different.
3. Select or double click the matching row to review custody date, booking status, court date, image link, and bail or fine labels.
4. Call the jail booking room at 218-732-2512 if the person was just arrested, if the record looks incomplete, or if a release may have occurred.

The roster covers county jail custody. Sentenced prison custody moves to the Minnesota DOC locator, federal sentenced custody moves to the BOP locator, and immigration custody is searched through ICE ODLS.

HCDC Address and Contact

For current custody, release, booking, and facility access questions, use the jail booking-room number rather than the court or county attorney. The sheriff's office administration number is useful for non-emergency public-safety questions, records routing, civil process, and general agency business. Jail records and public-data requests can also route through the county's data-practices process when a record is not visible on the roster.

Jail Administrator Joe Henry is listed at 218-732-2514, and Assistant Jail Administrator Brent Lindenfelser is listed at 218-732-2510 in the research source set. The sheriff page also lists a temporary construction entrance for administration through the Human Services entrance at the southeast end of the Law Enforcement Center. Confirm the entrance before going to the campus, especially for records, funds, bail, or jail business.

HCDC Visitation During Construction

Hubbard County visitation rules are currently shaped by the Law Enforcement Center construction project. The visitor information source says friends and family can visit electronically from home through inmatecanteen.com. A county visitation announcement says on-site inmate visitation is unavailable during construction, while electronic visitation remains available through Reliance Telephone and Inmate Canteen. Visits are limited to 20 minutes, and visitors must be on the inmate's visitor list.

The county's visitor rules page is the source for ID, visitor-list, minor, dress code, sobriety, and search rules. Visitors must have valid photo ID. A minor must be on the visitor list and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The county also states that staff may deny a visit for safety or security reasons, and people recently incarcerated at HCDC within the last 30 days are not allowed to visit.

The visitor-rules source is shown in the captured county page. The Hubbard County visitor information page is the official place to verify construction-period visit rules before scheduling a remote visit.

The county page is important because the usual on-site process is suspended while construction changes access to the Law Enforcement Center.

HCDC Mail and Scanning

Mail for Hubbard County Detention Center must be addressed to the inmate by name at Hubbard County Detention Center, 301 Court Ave, Park Rapids MN 56470. The county's inmate correspondence page says incoming mail is scanned and delivered electronically. Send letters that can feed through a regular printer or scanner. Cards are not scanned and are placed in inmate property.

The mail rules are strict. Packages, newspapers, magazines, magazine articles, photocopies, blank paper, envelopes, stamps, obscene material, gang material, stickers, perfume, lipstick, food stains, drink stains, and unknown discoloration are not accepted through ordinary mail. New softcover books must come directly from Amazon.com, not from partners or affiliates, and hardcovers are not allowed. Photos may be accepted if appropriate, not Polaroid, and free of gang signs, but they are scanned electronically.

The official mail rules are visible in the county capture. The Hubbard County inmate correspondence source explains why physical letters are converted to electronic delivery inside the jail.

Because HCDC scans incoming mail, the safest approach is to send simple paper correspondence and avoid any item that cannot pass through the jail's scanning process.

HCDC Funds and Commissary

Hubbard County uses inmatecanteen.com and a lobby kiosk for inmate account deposits. The county's add-funds page says cash can be deposited at the Turnkey Corrections kiosk in the front lobby or temporary lobby during business hours. During construction, the kiosk is in the temporary lobby inside the Social Services entrance at the south end of the building. Access is limited to Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.

Online deposits are made at inmatecanteen.com by credit card from any computer. Turnkey Corrections charges vendor fees for online deposits, and the county notes those fees are not charged by HCDC. After hours, on weekends, and on holidays, the online option is the documented deposit route. Anyone posting funds should confirm the inmate is still in HCDC before paying because releases and transfers can occur before an account deposit is processed.

HCDC Huber and STS

Hubbard County's serving-time page gives unusually detailed local rules for people ordered to serve time at HCDC. Huber, also called work release, is available only when the court grants it and the inmate meets jail criteria. The person must provide and pay for a clean urine test, pay past HCDC fees in full, and may need GPS monitoring depending on criminal history, the current offense, and occupation.

Huber fees are $25 per day and must be paid two weeks in advance. If the fee is not paid as required, Huber release is denied. Sentenced to Service, or STS, allows eligible sentenced inmates to perform community work in exchange for court-assessed fines. The county describes work for Hubbard County, the State of Minnesota, nonprofits, disaster relief, veterans memorials, public lake accesses, parks, and other approved projects. Pay-to-stay is separate from Huber and applies to convicted inmates housed in jail.

The county's serving-time source shows the local Huber, STS, and pay-to-stay details. The Hubbard County Huber and STS page should be checked before a report date because fees and eligibility affect whether release for work is approved.

These rules apply to sentenced-time and work-release situations, not to every pretrial inmate on the jail roster.

HCDC PREA and Conditions

Hubbard County publishes a PREA zero-tolerance policy and reporting channels for sexual abuse and sexual harassment in custody. The county's PREA page lists reporting through jail administration, a shift supervisor, Support Within Reach, and reportprea@co.hubbard.mn.us. PREA is the Prison Rape Elimination Act, a federal law and standards system for prevention, reporting, response, and audit of sexual abuse in confinement.

The 2026 DOC inspection found the jail in substantial compliance but required corrective actions in several rule areas. The findings involved admissions and mental-health screen follow-up, property inventory signatures, formal count documentation, release-of-information forms, medication refrigerator temperature logs, tuberculosis screening, and volunteer agreement forms. Older PREA audit material also described food service, medical services, recreation, AA, spiritual programming, education classes, and inmate workers in kitchen and laundry roles, but older vendor and housing details should be treated as historical unless confirmed by current county pages.

HCDC Directions and Access

Hubbard County Detention Center is on the government campus in downtown Park Rapids. The working map address is 301 Court Ave, Park Rapids, MN 56470. The sheriff page describes the Law Enforcement Center as housing both the sheriff's office and jail, with the Government Center and historic courthouse nearby. Drivers coming from MN-34 or US-71 should route to downtown Park Rapids and then to Court Avenue.

Construction is the key access issue. The county's Jail and Government Center construction page says jail expansion and Law Enforcement Center renovation are occurring in phases, with substantial completion projected for summer or fall 2027. Government Center work had a separate July 2025 target in the same county source. Because schedules may change, entrance, lobby, visitation, kiosk, and bail instructions should be verified with the jail or sheriff administration before arrival.

During construction, the sheriff page says the administrative office uses the Human Services entrance at the southeast end of the Law Enforcement Center. The inmate-funds kiosk moved to the temporary lobby inside the Social Services entrance at the south end of the building. Cash bail also has construction-period rules that route Hubbard County charges to the Clerk of Courts during weekday business hours. Parking rates and public transit details were not published in the official jail materials reviewed.
