The Olmsted County Jail roster is maintained by the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office in Rochester, Minnesota. Its official Adult Detention Center (ADC) in-custody list identifies people held in the facility and provides booking dates, detention reasons, custody descriptions, charges and photographs where available.
Use the county’s public roster to check published custody and booking information. For current detention status, bail, visitation or release arrangements, contact the ADC directly because online records may change.
Official Olmsted County Jail Roster & Current Inmates
Olmsted County publishes its roster through a dedicated public web application. The county describes the list as a daily record of people in custody at the Adult Detention Center.
Review detainee names, booking dates, incarceration reasons, custody descriptions and listed charges.
View Current Inmates ↗What information appears on the roster?
The official interface displays detainee names, booking dates and times, incarceration reasons, custody descriptions, charge descriptions and offense levels. Photographs and photo dates may also appear.
Is the roster updated in real time?
No real-time guarantee is provided. The county states that the list is updated daily and displays an in-custody-through timestamp. Check that timestamp before relying on the information.
Does the roster include people arrested by other agencies?
It may. The ADC can house detainees for other federal, state and county agencies when space is available. Being listed at the ADC does not necessarily mean the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office made the arrest.
Is the public list a certified legal record?
No. The Sheriff’s Office warns that the public information may not be current, accurate or complete and should not be relied on for legal action. Contact the appropriate agency for official documentation.
How to Search the Olmsted County Jail Roster by Name

Visit the Olmsted County ADC in-custody list.
Read the date and time following the page’s in-custody-through notice.
Press Ctrl+F on Windows, Command+F on Mac, or use Find in Page on a mobile browser.
Search the last name and check the matching entries.
Check the displayed first and last names carefully to avoid mistaken identity.

Review charge descriptions and offense levels without assuming they establish convictions.
Call the ADC at 507-328-6790 when a current status is essential.
Can I search by last name?
Yes, by using your browser’s Find in Page feature on the displayed list. A dedicated last-name search form is not required for this method.

Can I use the roster on a mobile phone?
Yes. Open the public list in a mobile browser and use the browser’s Find in Page feature.
Olmsted County Jail Daily Bookings & Arrest Records
The in-custody list includes booking timestamps, which help identify when a listed detainee entered custody. It is not necessarily a complete archive of every arrest, booking or release that occurred on a given date.
How to check a recent booking
Does the list show everyone arrested today?
No. Someone released before the roster’s reporting point or held elsewhere may not appear on the current in-custody list.
Does a booking date equal the arrest date?
Not necessarily. Booking is the jail intake event; the underlying arrest may have occurred earlier.

Where can I find historical bookings?
Contact the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office to ask which records are maintained and how to request them under Minnesota government-data rules.
