Lac qui Parle Jail Roster
The official local custody tool is the Lac qui Parle County In Custody List, linked from the Sheriff's Office page. It is a live roster table rather than a searchable form. The roster shows a report date and time, then lists people currently in custody with columns for photo, MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charges, and bail or bond. It is built for current local custody, not for historic jail bookings or all criminal cases.
The Sheriff's Office operates the county jail and provides local custody confirmation. The Lac qui Parle County Sheriff's Office is at the Government Center, 911 8th Ave, Madison, MN 56256. Sheriff Allen Anderson is the published sheriff. The main line is 320-598-3720, office hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and dispatch is 24/7. The office enforces laws, investigates crimes and accidents, serves civil process, enforces warrants, and operates the jail.
The Sheriff's Office source is the local source for the jail link, visiting hours, sheriff contact details, and warrant-enforcement role.
That source supports using the county jail roster first for local custody and the Sheriff's Office phone line for confirmation.
Use the Lac qui Parle Roster
The county roster has no visible name-search box. Use it as a table. If a name is not visible, call the Sheriff's Office rather than assuming the person is not in custody. The roster may change as people are booked, released, transported, sentenced, or moved to another agency.
- Open the county In Custody List from the Sheriff's Office page or direct custody-list link.
- Review the report date and time to understand when the table was generated.
- Scan the Name, MNI, Booking #, Intake Date, Charges, and Bail\Bond columns.
- Compare charge lines with MCRO if the case has been filed in District Court.
- Call the Sheriff's Office at 320-598-3720 for custody confirmation, bail or bond questions, and roster limits.
For a case outcome, the jail roster is not enough. A roster charge can show why someone is held, but the court record shows later filings, amendments, pleas, dismissals, sentencing, and court dates. For court charges after an arrest, use the arrest-and-charge page; for the whole criminal case file, use the criminal court records page.
Lac qui Parle Roster Fields
The roster field table is unusual because the county jail roster is not a searchable portal. It is a public list. The table below lists the fields a user can inspect or use when calling the jail. These fields come from the county roster and should not be expanded with unverified jail-profile fields.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Report date/time | Roster timestamp | Displayed | Shows when the In Custody table was generated. |
| Photo | Image column | Displayed if available | Roster includes a photo or image placeholder column. |
| MNI | Numeric identifier | Displayed | Useful for avoiding name confusion in custody questions. |
| Name | Text | Displayed | Shown in last-name, first-name style. |
| Sex and age | Roster attributes | Displayed | Visible fields in the roster table. |
| Booking # | Numeric/text identifier | Displayed | Booking number tied to the current custody entry. |
| Intake Date | Date/time | Displayed | Shows when the person entered custody. |
| Charges | Text | Displayed | Can include level, status, statute, and offense description. |
| Bail\Bond | Financial/status fields | Displayed when applicable | Shows amount, conditions, bail received, and bond received. |
The in-custody roster source is the direct source for these current-custody fields.
The roster image reinforces that users should expect a table of current detainees, not a vendor search app or full inmate profile page.
Lac qui Parle Inmate Fields
The roster field inventory is limited but useful. It can confirm whether a person is currently listed in the county jail and show key custody details. It does not show height, weight, eye color, hair color, race, date of birth, housing unit, magistrate, next court date, release date, attorney, full warrant number, or issuing judge. Those gaps should be routed to the Sheriff's Office, District Court, or MCRO depending on the question.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot/photo | A photo or image placeholder column for the current custody entry. |
| MNI | A numeric identifier used in the roster. |
| Name | The inmate name as listed by the county roster. |
| Sex and age | Basic roster identifiers visible in the table. |
| Booking number | The booking identifier for the custody entry. |
| Intake date/time | When the person was booked or entered custody. |
| Charges | Charge level, status, statute, and offense description where displayed. |
| Bail/bond | Amount, conditions, bail received, and bond received fields. |
Lac qui Parle County Jail
The research identifies one county sheriff and jail location for Lac qui Parle County custody work. A separate new Government Center was planned to house the Sheriff's Office, county jail, dispatch center, Community Corrections, Family Services, and Emergency Management. The inmate records source material did not publish a jail capacity figure, so no capacity should be invented.

Government Center

Mailing address: 911 8th Ave, Ste. 1, Madison, MN 56256
320-598-3720

Note: No official county source located a jail capacity number, remote-video vendor, commissary provider, or phone-service vendor.
Lac qui Parle Booking Records
Booking is the jail side of the process. It can create or update roster fields such as booking number, intake date, charges, and bail or bond. A booking entry does not prove conviction. It can reflect a new arrest, a court remand, a sentenced local custody term, a warrant hold, or another custody reason. The roster has included a sentenced gross-misdemeanor DWI line and a remanded felony firearm or ammunition line, which shows why status words matter.
After a prosecutor files charges, the court case becomes the better place to track the criminal process. MCRO can show hearings, charge amendments, Register of Actions entries, and disposition data when public access allows. Court Administration provides certified court copies. The Sheriff's Office remains the practical source for custody confirmation, bail or bond procedure, and booking records that are not shown on the public roster.
Lac qui Parle Jail Visits
The Sheriff's Office page is the only official county source located with visitation detail. It publishes jail visiting hours but does not publish a dress code, ID checklist, minor visitor rule, visit length, remote-video vendor, commissary provider, mail-format rule, deposit kiosk, phone-service provider, tablet program, or attorney-visitation schedule. Use the published schedule and call before visiting.
| Visit type | Schedule | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Jail visiting | Tuesday-Thursday 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.; Friday 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. | Sheriff's Office page. |
| Attorney or official visits | Not published | Call the Sheriff's Office at 320-598-3720. |
| Remote or video visitation | Not located in official sources | No official Securus, GTL, or HomeWAV county page was found. |
Call before travel because visiting can change for staffing, lockdowns, court transport, medical needs, or holidays. Bring government ID unless the jail confirms a different rule, since the exact ID policy was not posted in the county sources.
Lac qui Parle and MNDOC
The county jail roster is not the same as the Minnesota Department of Corrections public offender locator. The county roster lists current local detainees and local jail custody. The MNDOC locator is for adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction, including prison or supervised release. A newly sentenced person may take several business days to appear in DOC systems.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search method | Radio/tab | Yes | Name or MNDOC Offender ID. |
| First Name | Text | Optional/one or more | Search includes names associated with criminal convictions. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional/one or more | Used for adults under DOC jurisdiction. |
| MNDOC Offender ID | Text/number | If selected | Direct ID search. |
The MNDOC public locator source is the official statewide correctional search tool for DOC jurisdiction.
Use it only for the state correctional lane, not for current Lac qui Parle County jail roster confirmation.
Lac qui Parle Inmate Contact
The research found no official county mail-format rule, inmate phone vendor, video visit vendor, tablet program, commissary provider, deposit kiosk, or online money-deposit instructions. Those gaps should remain gaps. Mail, money, phone, attorney visit, and remote-visit questions should be confirmed with the Sheriff's Office main line before sending funds or traveling to the jail.
- Call 320-598-3720 for current custody and visit questions.
- Ask the jail to confirm mail addressing rules before mailing anything.
- Ask what payment methods are accepted before trying to post bail or bond.
- Ask whether attorney or official visits use a different schedule.
- Check the current roster again before travel because custody status can change quickly.
Lac qui Parle Inmate Public Records
If the roster does not answer a custody or booking question, request public sheriff data from the Sheriff's Office under Minnesota's public-data framework. Private or confidential data will be withheld. For charges and court outcomes, use MCRO and District Court. For public conviction history, use the BCA criminal-history search. For state prison or supervised-release status, use MNDOC. Each system has its own purpose and its own update timing.
Custody record distinction: The roster shows current county jail custody; MCRO shows court cases; MNDOC shows state correctional jurisdiction.
The DOC search-and-fugitives source links the official locator and state resources beyond the county jail roster.
That source belongs in the state-custody context, not as a substitute for the Lac qui Parle County in-custody table.
Lac qui Parle Inmate App Limits
No official Lac qui Parle County Sheriff, Madison police, Dawson police, or Boyd police mobile app was found in official sources. The county media page says Lac qui Parle County uses Facebook accounts and does not list YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, TikTok, or other social-media platforms. No app-only inmate lookup was located, so inmate search content should not name a mobile app or imply that a vendor app has additional county custody records.
VINELink or victim-notification resources were not found as a county-specific official page. People needing victim notification should check Minnesota victim-notification resources or ask the Sheriff's Office which official notification options apply to the case. Do not use unofficial jail roster mirrors as the source of record.
