MSOP Moose Lake Release Records

To find someone released from Minnesota Sex Offender Program, Moose Lake, begin with the civil-commitment system that controls the placement. MSOP is operated by Minnesota's human services agency and is not a county jail or state prison. Its departure and notification route therefore differs from a St. Louis County inmate release, a Minnesota prison discharge, and a federal release. Careful verification identifies the governing agency, the type of status change, and the official contact able to address an authorized inquiry without treating a missing jail-roster name as proof.

MSOP Moose Lake Release Route

Minnesota Sex Offender Program, Moose Lake is a civil commitment treatment facility operated by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. It is in neighboring Carlton County, not St. Louis County. Its place in this facility map reflects a specialized statewide notification path that matters in northeastern Minnesota. It does not make MSOP part of the St. Louis County Sheriff's jail system.

A departure from MSOP is not an ordinary jail release or prison discharge. The DHS program supplies its own notification route. The Minnesota custody-notification directory distinguishes MSOP from county VINE, MN DOC prison services, BOP, and ICE. That separation is the starting point for accurate verification.

System boundary: Do not use the St. Louis County 48-hour release PDF to confirm an MSOP status change. The Sheriff does not operate MSOP.

Confirm an MSOP Release

The research identifies the MSOP Admissions Coordinator as the direct program contact listed by Minnesota's official notification directory. Use that route for the MSOP release-notification question. Do not substitute a jail roster, a general inmate locator, or a public registry for the program's own status and notice channel.

  1. Confirm that the person and placement concern MSOP rather than a county jail, MN DOC prison, or federal facility.
  2. Use the official Minnesota notification directory to verify the MSOP contact route.
  3. Contact the MSOP Admissions Coordinator with the specific status or notification question that the office is authorized to address.
  4. Keep any court or agency document tied to the civil commitment separate from an arrest or prison record.
  5. Do not infer release from a missing result in an unrelated custody system.

The broader St. Louis County released inmates search explains when county, DOC, court, BOP, or ICE sources apply. For MSOP, those systems serve only as boundaries or companion records when a separate legal event is involved.


MSOP Moose Lake Release Contact

The official Minnesota directory lists one concrete program contact for this route. No ordinary jail records line, Sheriff release PDF, or public prison locator was identified as the controlling MSOP source. Direct the question to the program office rather than asking St. Louis County Jail staff to interpret DHS civil-commitment status.

MSOP Admissions Coordinator
1111 Highway 73
Moose Lake, MN
218-565-6230

The research does not supply public counter hours, a flat copy fee, or a guaranteed response period for this MSOP contact. Do not invent one. State the person and program clearly, ask what official notification or existing record route applies, and follow the access limits set by the governing agency.


MSOP Civil Commitment Records

Civil commitment and criminal incarceration are not interchangeable. MSOP is a treatment program under Minnesota DHS. St. Louis County Jail is an adult local detention facility. MN DOC prisons hold adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections. Each institution has its own legal authority, information systems, and meaning of release.

A person may have records in more than one system over time. That does not let one locator prove another system's status. Match the source to the authority that controlled the event being checked.


MSOP Moose Lake Notifications

The state notification directory is valuable because it routes distinct custody and treatment systems without blending them. Minnesota VINE serves participating county jails and detention facilities. Minnesota Haven serves MN DOC prison custody. The Public Viewer covers adults who remain under DOC jurisdiction. MSOP uses the DHS route named for the program.

A VINE release alert should not be treated as an MSOP notice. Likewise, a Public Viewer result concerns correctional jurisdiction, not a civil-commitment placement unless an independent DOC status also exists. For a person-specific question, begin by identifying the current legal authority. Then use only the channel that authority designates.

Notifications and public records also serve different functions. A notice can report an operational change, while an existing agency or court record may document the legal action. Ask the MSOP contact which route applies to the requested information instead of demanding that the office create a new explanation.


MSOP Release Versus Registries

Minnesota's Public Registrant Search is a limited community-notification tool. It is not a complete list of all people who must register, a list of all MSOP clients, or a general release database. An authorized public notice may contain status information for a person who meets its disclosure rules, but a missing result cannot prove that an MSOP release did or did not occur.

The same caution applies to the narrower BCA noncompliant registrant search. A person whose registration is current will not appear merely because of the underlying obligation. Registry status, MSOP civil commitment, jail custody, prison custody, and community release must remain separate facts.

Civil commitment
A court-governed treatment placement under civil authority, not an ordinary jail sentence.
Notification
An agency message about a covered status event.
Registry
A disclosure system with its own statutory coverage, not a universal custody locator.
Discharge
The end of the governing agency's jurisdiction, which is not proven by another system's missing result.

MSOP Release and Custody Transfers

Minnesota public arrest data distinguish a release from a transfer. For a St. Louis County Sheriff booking, the transfer categories include the receiving agency, time, and legal basis. That rule does not turn a Sheriff record into an MSOP record. It can, however, identify where local custody went next if the Sheriff transferred a person to another authority before a later civil or correctional placement.

No St. Louis County ICE detention agreement was established. A county roster entry stating Hold for other Agency does not identify ICE, DHS, MSOP, or any other recipient by itself. Request the named receiving agency and legal basis. Then follow the record into the identified system.

This distinction prevents two errors. The end of a local booking is not always freedom, and an MSOP status change is not proved by a local release timestamp. Each event must be documented by its originating office.


MSOP and County Release Geography

St. Louis County's local custody network has one 197-bed full-service jail in Duluth and small short-term lockups in Hibbing and Virginia. The county traces its jail history to 1871, and the present Duluth facility opened in 1995 after state compliance concerns involving the older downtown jail. These facts describe the Sheriff system, not MSOP.

MSOP Moose Lake belongs in a different branch of the regional map. Its location in neighboring Carlton County and its statewide DHS role explain why a northeastern Minnesota release inquiry can lead outside St. Louis County. Geography alone does not merge the agencies. The facility name, operator, and legal authority decide which record should be used.

Note: The Hibbing and Virginia “72 hour lockup” label describes local detention capacity, not an MSOP release or notification window.


MSOP Moose Lake Record Limits

No public, name-searchable MSOP release archive was identified in the supplied research. That absence should be stated plainly. It does not mean the program has no records, and it does not authorize a claim about a particular person's status. Use the official coordinator and the relevant court or agency channel.

The St. Louis County release PDF contains local Sheriff booking data for a rolling period. MCRO may carry court events subject to public-access rules. MN DOC Public Viewer covers current correctional jurisdiction. None of those sources should be relabeled as an MSOP release database.

For an authorized inquiry, keep the request precise: identify the person and MSOP placement, name the event or notice sought, and ask which existing public or authorized record can be provided. Avoid asking staff to infer facts that belong to a different agency. The result is stronger when the source and legal system match.

MSOP Release Source Check

A strong verification note records which agency supplied each fact. DHS controls the MSOP treatment placement and its notification route. A court record may explain the civil order. Sheriff, DOC, BOP, VINE, and ICE sources should be cited only for separate custody events they actually control.

One person's records may cross systems, yet the date from one system does not become the release date for another. State the MSOP status only to the extent the responsible DHS or court source supports it.
