Help for families in Braham, a city that lies partly in Isanti County and partly in Kanabec County — so the jail and court involved have to be confirmed, not assumed.

Braham Area Service
GPS Bail Bonds helps Braham families by phone and online. Braham occupies parts of two counties, and GPS works independently of Braham Police, both county jails and both courts. GPS has no Braham office.

Isanti & Kanabec Jail and Court Guidance
A Braham arrest may mean checking custody and court resources in Cambridge (Isanti County) or Mora (Kanabec County). The right destination depends on where the person is actually held and where the case is filed.
04
Clear Premium & Paperwork Information
We explain the difference between the bail amount and the filed premium, payment arrangements, what a cosigner takes on and when collateral might be requested — before you commit to anything.
05
Eligible Surety Bond Assistance
When the court authorizes a surety bond and underwriting is met, GPS can discuss Minnesota bond options with you. Approval is not automatic, and GPS cannot change a court decision.
06
Minnesota Statewide Coverage
GPS serves eligible cases across Minnesota — Isanti and Kanabec County included. The court handling the case and the authorized bond terms still have to be confirmed.
Braham has its own municipal police department. Braham Police, Sheriff's deputies, the Minnesota State Patrol or another agency with jurisdiction may handle an arrest or citation. Some people are cited and released without being booked into a jail.

Step 2 of 6
Confirm Custody and the Responsible Jail
Find out whether the person is at Isanti County Jail in Cambridge, Kanabec County Jail in Mora, another facility, or already released. Use each county's official custody information — a Braham arrest does not automatically mean Isanti County Jail.
03

Step 3 of 6
Verify Court-Set Bail and Release Conditions
Confirm the correct court case and the authorized bail amount. Isanti County cases are handled by Isanti County District Court in Cambridge; Kanabec County cases by Kanabec County District Court in Mora. The official case record or court notice controls.

Step 5 of 6
Complete Premium, Paperwork and Underwriting
Identification, a signed agreement, premium collection, a promissory note, a cosigner or collateral may be required, as Minnesota law and the surety's underwriting require — with a receipt for every payment.

Authorized Bond Posting and Court Responsibilities
After an authorized bond is accepted, the custodial authority processes the release. Other holds can prevent or delay it. Every future hearing and court condition remains binding.

Not every charge is eligible for bail, and no amounts are guaranteed — the court decides in each case.
05 · Costs
What Bail Bonds Cost in Braham
Braham does not have a separate city bail amount or premium schedule. The District Court handling the case — Isanti County in Cambridge or Kanabec County in Mora — determines monetary bail and release conditions, while Minnesota's filed-rate and statutory rules govern commercial surety premiums statewide.
Court-Set Bail vs. Bond Premium
The court sets the bail amount. Paying it directly in cash is one option. A surety bond instead costs a premium — a fee paid to the bail bond agency that is not returned at the end of the case. Minnesota Criminal Procedure Rule 6 ↗ (opens an external site)
Filed Surety Rates & Minimum Upfront Payment
Under Minn. Stat. §60M.02, premiums follow rates filed with the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Bonds of $10,000 or less require at least 50% of the premium collected before posting; bonds greater than $10,000 require at least 30% collected before posting. Any unpaid premium balance requires the applicable approved, signed promissory note and the statutory repayment terms. The statutory minimum premium remains $100. Minnesota §60M.02 — Bail Bond Premiums ↗ (opens an external site)
Promissory Note & Repayment
Any unpaid premium balance is put in writing, with a payment schedule and any allowed interest. The signer is responsible for that balance regardless of how the case ends. The same §60M.02 rules above govern premium payment.
Use the court-set bond amount from the jail or court.
Estimates are for informational purposes only and are not a binding quote or financing offer. Actual premiums are based on the applicable approved surety rate. Payment arrangements depend on eligibility, underwriting, and Minnesota law. Call GPS Bail Bonds for a case-specific quote.

06 · Jails & custody
Braham Jails & Custody Information
Braham has its own police department but no jail or court. Because the city lies in both Isanti and Kanabec counties, a Braham arrest does not automatically establish which jail is holding someone or which District Court has the case — check the responsible county's official custody information and confirm directly with the facility.
Local law enforcement
Braham Police Department
Braham City Hall (east side)201 Broadway Avenue SBraham, MN 55006
Non-emergency (Isanti County Sheriff's Dispatch, as listed by the City): 763-689-2141
City administration (not a jail or court)
Braham City Hall201 Broadway Avenue SBraham, MN 55006320-396-3383
Braham operates its own municipal police department, located inside City Hall on the east side of the building. It is not the Isanti County Sheriff's Office or the Kanabec County Sheriff's Office, and the police office is not a jail. The administrative line is not an emergency dispatch line — for non-emergency officer help the City lists Isanti County Sheriff's Dispatch, and in an emergency call 911. Braham's city limits extend across two counties.
About 12 miles south of Braham, in Cambridge. Operated by the Isanti County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's staff directory lists Master Control as 763-689-2397, while the county's Contact Us page shows 763-691-2397 — the conflict is unresolved, so use the Sheriff's general line if a number doesn't connect.
Kanabec County · Mora
Kanabec County Jail
100 South Vine StreetMora, MN 55051Jail: 320-679-8402
Operated by the Kanabec County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's administrative office has a separate address (317 Maple Avenue East, Suite 143) — it is not the jail. An arrest in Braham does not automatically establish which jail is holding someone: check the responsible county's official custody information and confirm directly with the facility.
Handles criminal and traffic matters filed in Isanti County, including applicable Braham cases. The courthouse is a separate building and a separate function from the county jail at 509 18th Avenue SW. Judges determine bail or release conditions; GPS does not set bail amounts or hearing schedules.
Kanabec County · Mora
Kanabec County District Court
Kanabec County Courthouse317 Maple Avenue East, Suite 318Mora, MN 55051Court Administration: 320-679-6400
Handles cases filed in Kanabec County. Both courts belong to Minnesota's Tenth Judicial District. Which court has a Braham case must be confirmed from official case information and hearing notices — there is no Braham municipal court, and not every Braham arrest becomes an Isanti County case.
Start with the official Isanti County In Custody list or the Kanabec County inmate locator, depending on where the incident happened. If custody is unknown, check both and call the facility — an absence from one roster does not prove no arrest occurred. Braham Police and City Hall are not booking desks.
An arrest and a jail booking are different events. Booking — at Isanti County Jail in Cambridge, Kanabec County Jail in Mora or another facility, depending on the case — involves confirming identity, custody screening and records processing, so a recent arrest may not appear right away. No booking time is guaranteed, and a citation does not automatically mean someone was booked.
03
Official Inmate Search
The Isanti County Sheriff's Office publishes an official In Custody page that embeds the county's custody list. It shows people presently recorded in custody — it is not an arrest log, a warrant check or a court record, and it can change at any time. GPS does not operate it or control custody data. Isanti County's list does not cover Kanabec County custody; the Kanabec County Sheriff's Office publishes its own inmate locator. The GPS guide below covers the Isanti County list only.
The court handling the case — Isanti County District Court or Kanabec County District Court — decides release conditions. It may release someone without money bail, on conditions, with money bail, or a combination. Verify both the correct court and the custodial agency; conditions still apply after any bond is posted.
05
Cash Bail vs. Surety Bond
Direct cash bail paid to the government, as the court authorizes, is different from a court-authorized surety bond, whose premium is paid to a bail bond agency and is not returned; a cosigner or collateral may also be involved. County procedures are not interchangeable: Kanabec County's Jail FAQ says bail for warrants may be posted at the dispatch center inside its jail, which does not establish the method for every case, and GPS has not confirmed Isanti County's complete cash-bail procedure. Verify current, case-specific instructions before traveling or paying.
A warrant, another case, a probation-related restriction or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody after bail is posted on the Braham matter — and the court case and current custody may involve different counties. GPS cannot remove those restrictions or promise a release time. See our Warrant and Probation Violation guides.
Court dates
Court Appearance Information
Isanti County District Court (Cambridge) handles cases filed in Isanti County, and Kanabec County District Court (Mora) handles cases filed in Kanabec County; both belong to the Tenth Judicial District. The official case notice identifies the required court. Public court calendars do not list every hearing — a missing entry does not cancel one — and Minnesota Court Records Online restricts some pending criminal defendant-name searches. GPS cannot reschedule court dates. Missing a required appearance can lead to a warrant and other serious consequences.

City in two counties: Braham is an incorporated Minnesota municipality extending into Isanti and Kanabec counties. It sits near the corners of Isanti, Kanabec, Pine and Chisago counties, but does not occupy all four.
Minnesota Highway 107 passes through the heart of the city's downtown, and Highway 65 runs about two miles south of the city.
Braham was founded in 1899 and incorporated as a village in 1901; its development is closely tied to the railroad that arrived in Isanti County in 1899.
Braham is known as Minnesota's Homemade Pie Capital — a designation from Governor Rudy Perpich in 1990 — and Braham Pie Day is traditionally held on the first Friday in August.
Braham operates its own police department inside City Hall at 201 Broadway Avenue S. Police, municipal administration, jail and court services are distinct functions.
A Braham legal matter may involve official resources in Cambridge or Mora; actual custody and court jurisdiction must be confirmed from the relevant government records. GPS provides independent bail bond assistance and does not operate a Braham office.

Braham Bail Bonds FAQs
Yes. Call (763) 288-2581 or use the form at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. GPS helps by phone and online, works independently of every government agency, and has no Braham office.
Yes. The Braham Police Department is inside Braham City Hall, on the east side of the building at 201 Broadway Avenue S. Its administrative line is 320-396-3383; for non-emergency officer help the City lists Isanti County Sheriff's Dispatch at 763-689-2141. In an emergency, call 911.
Both. The City of Braham lies partly in Isanti County and partly in Kanabec County — the city's industrial park, for example, is in the Kanabec County portion. A county boundary is useful context, but it does not by itself establish where someone is held or which court has the case.
If booked, possibly at Isanti County Jail (509 18th Avenue SW, Cambridge) or Kanabec County Jail (100 South Vine Street, Mora) — or at another facility on another agency's matter. Some people are cited and released instead. Confirm present custody with the facility; the arrest location alone does not verify it.
Use each county's official resource: the Isanti County In Custody list and the Kanabec County inmate locator. Rosters can lag behind a booking, and an absence from one roster does not prove no arrest occurred. Isanti Jail Master Control is listed as 763-689-2397 (a county page shows 763-691-2397); Kanabec County Jail is 320-679-8402.
No. The Braham Police Department office in City Hall is not a jail or detention facility, and Braham has no municipal court. The county jails are run by the Isanti County Sheriff's Office in Cambridge and the Kanabec County Sheriff's Office in Mora.
It depends on where the case is filed. Isanti County cases go to Isanti County District Court, 555 18th Avenue SW, Cambridge (763-290-7020); Kanabec County cases go to Kanabec County District Court, 317 Maple Avenue East, Suite 318, Mora (320-679-6400). Both are in the Tenth Judicial District. The official case notice controls.
Call the facility actually holding the person before you travel or pay. Procedures differ by county: Kanabec County's Jail FAQ says warrant bail may be posted at the dispatch center inside its jail, which does not cover every case, and GPS has not confirmed Isanti County's complete cash-bail procedure. Cash bail is paid to the government and is separate from a bond premium.
The premium follows the rate the surety has filed with Minnesota regulators under §60M.02, with a $100 minimum. There is no universal Minnesota percentage and no Braham price list; the court sets the bail amount itself.
Sometimes. At least 50% of the premium is collected before posting on bonds of $10,000 or less (balance within four months), and at least 30% on larger bonds (within twelve months), with a signed promissory note. Arrangements are subject to applicable law and approval, and are never guaranteed.
No. Some people are cited and released, and the court may release someone without money bail or on conditions only. A commercial bond is needed only when the court sets money bail and a surety bond is allowed.
Yes. A warrant, probation-related restriction or another agency's hold can keep someone in custody even after bail is posted on the Braham case — and the court case and current custody may be in different counties. GPS cannot remove a hold or guarantee a release time; ask the facility which holds apply.
The responding agency depends on the exact location — Braham Police within city limits, or a Sheriff's Office, the Minnesota State Patrol or another agency elsewhere. Highway 65 runs about two miles south of the city. Because the area touches several counties, confirm the arresting agency and the holding facility rather than relying on the road or ZIP code.
Anything you know: full legal name, date of birth or approximate age, where in or near Braham it happened (and the county, if known), the arresting agency, and any booking, charge, court or bail details. Gaps are fine — you don't need to know which county has the case to ask for help.
