Hubbard County Inmate Population Overview
The Hubbard County inmate population is centered on one local facility, the Hubbard County Detention Center in Park Rapids. Official county material also calls it the Hubbard County Jail or HCDC. It is operated by the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Cory Aukes, and the office runs jail administration, dispatch, prisoner transport, records work, warrants, civil process, patrol support, and other public-safety duties. The county found no separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center physically located in Hubbard County.
The local count rises and falls with arrests, court release orders, bail decisions, short local sentences, work-release eligibility, holds for other agencies, and transfers. A person arrested by the sheriff's office, Park Rapids Police, or another local agency normally routes to HCDC unless another court or agency controls custody. Once a felony sentence sends a person to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, the public lookup changes from the county roster to the state DOC locator. Federal and immigration custody use separate systems.
Hubbard County Inmate Population Statistics
Current Hubbard County inmate population figures are best read as a mix of capacity data and point-in-time roster data. The 2026 Minnesota DOC inspection report lists Hubbard County Jail as a secure coed jail with 116 approved secure beds and 104.40 operational capacity at 90 percent. The county's Corrections and Communications page says the facility is staffed to hold up to 60 inmates. The official ProPhoenix roster showed 30 visible records when inspected on June 18, 2026. That is a live roster snapshot, not an annual average.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Approved jail beds | 116 secure coed beds | MN DOC Hubbard County inspection, inspected May 14, 2026 |
| Operational capacity | 104.40 at 90 percent | MN DOC 2026 inspection report |
| County-published staffed capacity | Up to 60 inmates | Hubbard County Corrections and Communications page, 2026 capture |
| Current roster count | 30 visible records | ProPhoenix roster inspection, June 18, 2026 |
| County population | 22,369 residents | U.S. Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 estimate |
Hubbard County Inmate Population Trends
The public research did not locate a current official average daily population, annual booking total, or average length of stay for Hubbard County. That gap matters. A roster count tells who was visible at one inspection point, while average daily population measures jail use across time. Older and current records still show a useful trend line: the facility had 55 people during a 2016 PREA audit, the county now publishes staffing capacity up to 60, and the June 18, 2026 roster count was below both staffed and approved capacity.
The county is also in a construction period that affects how the Hubbard County inmate population is managed and how the public reaches jail services. The official Jail and Government Center Construction Project describes jail expansion and Law Enforcement Center renovations in three phases, with substantial completion expected in summer or fall 2027. The project has changed visitor entry, bail posting, inmate-fund kiosk access, and on-site visitation.
| Year or Date | Population Measure | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 PREA audit | 55 current population | Historical inspection context, not a current daily average |
| Current county page | Staffed to hold up to 60 | Staffing capacity statement, not a roster count |
| May 14, 2026 inspection | 116 approved beds and 104.40 operational capacity | Licensed capacity measures from DOC oversight |
| June 18, 2026 roster | 30 visible current records | Point-in-time roster count from ProPhoenix |
Hubbard County Jail Capacity
HCDC is a secure coed adult local jail. County records say construction started in September 2004 and the facility opened in May 2006. The DOC inspection places the jail under state inspection authority and says it was approved to operate on biennial status from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028. No official source reviewed reported that HCDC was over capacity. The point-in-time roster count of 30 was below the county's staffed capacity and far below the approved secure-bed count.
The type of housing matters as much as the head count. Hubbard County says medium and maximum custody inmates are supervised through direct supervision, where a corrections officer works inside the housing unit. Minimum custody and work-release inmates are held under a podular remote model with a glass-enclosed master control room and repeated well-being checks. The jail may also hold juveniles for up to 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, and the 2026 inspection found zero juveniles processed during the JJDPA review period from October 1, 2025, to May 13, 2026.
Hubbard County Inmate Record Laws
Minnesota law controls which Hubbard County inmate population details are public and which details stay private. Public jail and law-enforcement data are not the same as full investigative files, medical records, victim data, or sealed court records. The roster can show names, booking data, custody dates, demographic codes, and photo links, while sensitive data can be redacted or withheld under state law. The county also posts a roster disclaimer warning that the information is not guaranteed accurate and should not be used for legal action.
Key Minnesota Rules:
Minn. Stat. ch. 13 creates the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and treats government data as public unless a law classifies it another way.
Minn. Stat. 13.82 governs law-enforcement data, arrest data, and public booking photographs, with some active-investigation limits.
Minn. Stat. 641.05 requires sheriffs to keep permanent jail commitment records with commitment and release details.
Minn. Rule ch. 2911 sets minimum standards for local adult detention facilities, including intake, welfare, security, health, and records.
Search Hubbard County Inmate Records
The official current-custody search is the Hubbard County ProPhoenix inmate locator. It is free and public, with no login or payment requirement shown in the interface. It is linked by the sheriff's office and county find menu as in-custody information. The roster displayed current results at the time of research, and a detail area included image, bail or fine, custody date, booking status, court date, and court branch labels.
The official ProPhoenix roster shows the search tools and result list used for Hubbard County inmate lookup.
The screenshot reflects the county roster workflow: search fields sit above a results list, and the details pane can expose image and case detail links when a person is selected.
- Open the county inmate locator and start with the last name if the full name is uncertain.
- Add the first name, gender, or birth year only when the result list is too broad.
- Select a result row, then use the details area for booking status, image link, bail or fine label, custody date, and court information.
- If the roster does not show the person after a recent arrest, call the jail booking room before assuming release.
- If the person was sentenced to state prison, use the Minnesota DOC locator instead of the county roster.
Hubbard County Roster Search Fields
The ProPhoenix interface is simple, but the field labels are useful because they show how the county expects current inmate searches to be narrowed. The roster does not publish a refresh schedule, so a very recent arrest may lag behind the booking process. A missing name can also mean the person is in another county, state prison, federal custody, immigration custody, or no longer held.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options or Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Unspecified | Listed before First Name and usually the best starting point. |
| First Name | Text | Unspecified | Useful for common last names or spelling matches. |
| Gender | Radio | Unspecified | Unknown, Male, Female. |
| DOB (yyyy) | Year field | Unspecified | Uses a four-digit birth year format. |
| Language | Selector | Optional | English or Espanol. |
Hubbard County Inmate Record Fields
A Hubbard County inmate record is a jail record, not a final criminal judgment. It may show arrest and booking facts, physical descriptors, a booking number, SPN number, a housing or location code, eligible release date, and detail fields. Charges or case links should be checked against court records because the prosecutor can file, amend, reduce, dismiss, or add counts after booking. For court case details after arrest, the district court record is searched through Minnesota Court Records Online.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and DOB | Full name and date of birth shown in the roster row or detail area. |
| Sex, race, height, weight | Basic descriptors, often shown with short codes. |
| Booking number | A year-plus-sequence number tied to the jail booking. |
| SPN number | A longer person or system number used by the local system. |
| Housing code | Location-like values such as pod or cell codes when populated. |
| Eligible release date | A date field that may be blank or may change with court or jail action. |
| Mugshot image | The detail area says Click to View Image for at least some profiles. |
Hubbard County Custody Channels
The roster is only the first channel. For a complete Hubbard County inmate population search, use the system that matches the custody type. Current county-jail custody starts with ProPhoenix. Custody questions that the roster does not answer go to the jail booking room at 218-732-2512. In-person records or administration visits use the Law Enforcement Center route, but the sheriff page says the administrative office has temporarily moved during construction to the Human Services entrance at the southeast end of the building.
Older records, incident reports, arrest records, or booking documents not visible in ProPhoenix are handled through the Hubbard County Data Practices page and sheriff records office. Victim notification is available through VINELink and Minnesota VINE at 1-877-664-8463. No official Hubbard County Sheriff or Park Rapids Police mobile app was found, and no app-only roster was identified.
| Custody Type | Best Search Channel | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail | Hubbard County ProPhoenix roster | People booked into HCDC and still listed in current custody. |
| Jail status by phone | 218-732-2512 | Booking-room questions when the roster is unclear or too new. |
| Older booking or arrest record | County data practices or sheriff records | Public records not visible on the current roster. |
| State prison or supervision | Minnesota DOC locator | Adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections. |
| Federal sentence | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Current ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours. |
Hubbard County Jail vs Prison
The most common search error is using the county roster for someone who has already moved into another custody system. HCDC covers arrest, pretrial detention, short local sentences, work release, and some holds. The Minnesota DOC locator covers adults committed to DOC, including people in prison and people released from prison but still under DOC supervision. The DOC warns that newly sentenced individuals may take several business days to appear. Federal and immigration systems are separate again.
| System | Who Appears There | Where to Search |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Pretrial detainees, short local sentences, work release, county holds | Hubbard County ProPhoenix roster |
| State prison | Sentenced adults committed to Minnesota DOC | Minnesota DOC public viewer |
| Federal custody | Sentenced federal prisoners and some post-1982 federal records | BOP inmate locator or U.S. Marshals for pretrial questions |
| Immigration custody | People held by ICE or CBP beyond the locator threshold | ICE Online Detainee Locator System |
Hubbard County Detention Facility
There is one local detention facility in the resolved Hubbard County facility map. It holds adult male and female pretrial and sentenced inmates for Hubbard County, may hold juveniles briefly under the limits described by the county, and may house inmates for other counties. Park Rapids Police has a city police department, but the official page does not describe a city jail. Local arrests normally route through county dispatch and HCDC unless a court or another agency changes custody.
- Hubbard County Detention Center - the county jail at 301 Court Ave in Park Rapids, operated by the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office.
The county Corrections and Communications page provides the HCDC overview, bed count, staffing statement, supervision model, and jail contacts.
That county page is the clearest local source for how HCDC is staffed and what kind of custody the facility is built to manage.

Hubbard County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Hubbard County inmate population?
The visible public roster count was 30 records on June 18, 2026. That count is a point-in-time roster number. It should not be treated as the average daily population or annual booking total. The 2026 DOC inspection lists 116 approved secure coed beds, and the county page says HCDC is staffed to hold up to 60 inmates.
How do I search the Hubbard County inmate population?
Start with the official ProPhoenix inmate locator for current county-jail custody. If a record is missing after a recent arrest, call the booking room at 218-732-2512. For older booking records or documents not on the roster, use the county Data Practices process or sheriff records office.
Does the county roster show state prisoners?
No. The county roster is for current HCDC custody. Sentenced state prisoners and people still under Minnesota DOC jurisdiction are searched through the DOC public viewer. Newly sentenced people may take several business days to appear in that state system.
Is there a Hubbard County sheriff app?
No official Hubbard County Sheriff or Park Rapids Police mobile app was located in the research. The public channels found were the county website, the ProPhoenix roster, VINELink, phone lines, and county records request channels.
