Ramsey County Adult Detention Center

The Adult Detention Center (ADC) is a 500-bed pre-trial facility providing safe and secure detention services to individuals following their arrest until a court disposition is reached. The ADC also houses individuals being held for probation or parole violations. Bail is money provided to the court as a promise to appear in court, whether the individual was recently arrested or has an active warrant. In lieu of posting bail (cash), an individual may choose to go through a bonding agency. Bond is money or property secured as a promise to appear in court. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office cannot recommend a specific bonding agency. Posting bail/bond allows an individual to remain out-of-custody until his or her court date. Bail/bond can be paid at the Adult Detention Center. Bail is accepted at the Adult Detention Center 24-hour lobby window. Only cash for the exact amount of the bail is accepted. Credit cards, checks, or money orders are not accepted.
