Olmsted County is home to about 164,784 people (US Census Bureau, 2023 estimate), up 1.2% since the 2020 census: 3% of Minnesota’s residents, the 7th most populous of its 87 counties. People arrested anywhere in Olmsted County are, with few exceptions, booked into the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center, which is run by the Olmsted County sheriff's office, and Olmsted County publishes who is held there on its own roster at webapp.co.olmsted.mn.us. A search here reads that roster together with Minnesota's state prison records and federal custody, so one search says whether the person is in the Olmsted County jail, in a Minnesota prison, or in a federal facility, and names the one that holds them.

A roster is a picture of custody at a moment. Most jails list only the people held right now, so someone released this morning usually drops off the official list today, while the booking itself stays in the records a search can reach. If the person you are looking for was released, the result will say so where the jail published a release date; if they were moved to a state prison after sentencing, the Minnesota prison record takes over.

Olmsted County inmate search: how to find out if someone is in the Olmsted County jail.

Start with the full name and add an age or a date of birth: a county the size of Olmsted County has many people who share a first and last name, and the second detail is what moves the right one to the top. A middle name or initial helps when the jail publishes it. If you only know a nickname, try the formal name too, since booking records use the name on the identification the person carried.

The official roster at webapp.co.olmsted.mn.us is the place to confirm current custody before you act on anything, whether that is arranging bond or simply knowing someone is safe. A search here gets you to the same record together with the other record types, and tells you when the person is held somewhere other than Olmsted County.

Three ways to check Olmsted County jail custody

  1. Search the name here with an age or date of birth: the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center roster, Minnesota prisons and federal custody in one result.
  2. Open the official roster at webapp.co.olmsted.mn.us, published by Olmsted County.
  3. Check the court: a person who was booked and released has a case in the District Court; see Olmsted County court records.

What a Olmsted County jail record shows.

A jail record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center. It says the person was booked on a date, on the charges written down at booking, and whether bond was set. It is an arrest-stage record and never says the person was convicted: the charge filed by a prosecutor can differ from the charge at booking, and the outcome lives in the court file kept by the District Court administrator.

Jails publish different amounts. Some give a full date of birth, others an age; some give the bond amount and type, others only that a hold exists; some list the arresting agency and the court date, others neither. The record you see is what Olmsted County chose to publish, and a blank field means the jail left it blank, not that the fact does not exist.

How long people stay in the Olmsted County jail.

There is no county-wide answer, and this page does not state one for any person. In general, a jail stay has three shapes. The shortest is a booking followed by release within a day or two, once a judge sets bond or releases the person on their own recognizance at a first appearance. The second is pre-trial custody: someone held because bond was denied or could not be posted stays until the case is resolved, which can be weeks or months. The third is a sentence: a conviction with a term of up to about a year is usually served in the county jail rather than a state prison.

The jail record shows the booking date and, once it happens, the release date. It does not show why a person is still held, and a long stay is not evidence of anything about the case. For the status of the case itself, the court file at the District Court administrator is the authoritative record.

Olmsted County jail or Minnesota state prison: which one holds the person. Two systems, two record types, one search.

County jail

Olmsted County Adult Detention Center

Holds people just arrested, waiting for court, or serving a short sentence. Searchable here through the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center roster, with the booking date and charges.

State prison

Federal custody

Federal Bureau of Prisons

A separate system from every state. Someone facing a federal charge is held by the US Marshals or in a federal facility, which the search also reaches.

How long does someone stay in Olmsted County jail?

It depends on the case, not the county. Many people leave within a day or two after bond is set or they are released on their own recognizance; people held without bond, or who cannot post it, can stay until the case is resolved; and a sentence of up to about a year is usually served in a county jail rather than a state prison. Nothing on this page states a stay for any person.

Is Olmsted County jail the same as a Minnesota state prison?
