The Hubbard Co Jail is a detention center located at 301 Court Ave Park Rapids, MN which is operated locally by the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Hubbard County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Park Rapids Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Hubbard County Detention Center (HCDC) in Minnesota began construction in September 2004 and officially opened in May 2006. With a total capacity of 116 beds, the facility is currently staffed to accommodate up to 60 inmates. The HCDC primarily houses adult male and female pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates from Hubbard County, and it can temporarily hold juvenile offenders for up to 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. The facility also generates revenue by housing inmates from other counties, which helps offset the overall cost of law enforcement for the county's residents.

The HCDC employs two distinct inmate supervision models tailored to security levels. Medium- and maximum-custody inmates are managed using the Direct Supervision model, where a Corrections Officer (CO) is stationed within the housing unit, maintaining direct contact with inmates throughout the day. This approach, which integrates behavior management with a system of rewards and consequences, has been widely adopted nationwide over the past three decades. Facilities utilizing this model report significantly reduced incidents of violence, extortion, and legal issues compared to traditional supervision systems. Additionally, the Direct Supervision model supports more cost-effective facility design due to improved inmate behavior.

Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours are required to appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.

Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.

After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

Inmate workers are selected for community service programs based on their demonstrated good conduct, cooperation with facility staff, and adherence to institutional rules. These criteria ensure that only individuals who exhibit responsibility, reliability, and a commitment to positive behavior are allowed to participate. Participation in these programs not only benefits the community through valuable labor contributions but also offers inmates the chance to develop a strong work ethic, learn transferable job skills, and build a sense of accountability.

In certain cases, involvement in community service programs can contribute to a reduction in an inmate's sentence. This incentive reinforces the importance of maintaining good behavior while incarcerated and highlights the program's dual role in supporting both the community and the inmate's journey toward reintegration.

For minimum-security and Work Release inmates, the HCDC uses a podular remote supervision model. In this setup, housing units are continuously monitored from a secure, glass-enclosed master control room, with COs conducting frequent well-being checks. This model ensures ongoing observation and promotes a safe environment for all detainees.

The HCDC also facilitates secure transports for criminal offenders and individuals committed to state or private institutions by court order. Work Release, or Huber privileges, are granted based on court approval and facility criteria. Participants must pass a clean urine test, resolve any outstanding fees owed to the HCDC, and prepay $25 per day in fees two weeks in advance. Depending on an individual's criminal history, current offense, and employment type, GPS monitoring may be required, with associated fees paid directly to the vendor. Failure to meet these requirements will result in denial of Work Release privileges.

All visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, with no exceptions permitted. Visits are limited to 20 minutes to ensure all inmates have the opportunity to receive visitors.

Behavioral and security standards are strictly enforced. Visitors who appear under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or whose presence is deemed a potential safety or security risk, will be denied visitation. Additionally, visitors who have been incarcerated in the Hubbard County Detention Center within the last 30 days are not permitted to visit.

Items allowed to be dropped off at the facility are limited to prescription medications and eyeglasses, both of which must be in the original packaging, properly labeled with the inmate’s name, and current. All visitors may be subject to pat searches, metal detector screenings, or strip searches if necessary, and refusal to submit will result in visitation denial.

A strict dress code is enforced, requiring visitors to wear clothing that covers the torso and shoulders, pants, or skirts and shorts no more than six inches above the knees, along with appropriate footwear. Children must remain under the direct supervision of their parents at all times during visits.
