The Le Sueur County Jail roster provides public custody and booking information for people held at the Le Sueur County Jail in Le Center, Minnesota. The county publishes its own jail roster through an embedded custody-report system, allowing visitors to review available inmate names, booking dates, charges, and bail information.
Use the official links below to check current custody, then follow the county’s published procedures for visiting, sending money, making phone contact, and mailing approved items.
Open the county’s official Jail Roster page and select or view the embedded custody list. The linked report includes booking information, charges, and bail/bond entries. For an urgent or unclear custody question, call the jail directly at 507-419-0321.
The custody report is hosted on a third-party system linked directly from the county’s official website. Its displayed timestamp determines how recent the information is; it should not be treated as a live guarantee of custody.
Official Le Sueur County Jail Roster — Current Inmates
The county-maintained page that embeds the public custody report.
Open county jail roster →The underlying inmate listing, linked by the county, with public booking and custody fields.
Open custody report →What does the Le Sueur County roster show?
The county-linked custody report has published the following fields:
- Inmate photograph, when displayed.
- MNI, a master name index identifier.
- Full name, sex, and age.
- Booking number and intake date.
- Charge descriptions and Minnesota statute references.
- Charge status, including court pending, sentenced, or bond/bail set.
- Bail and bond information, including applicable conditions or holds.
At the top of the report, check the “In Custody” date and time. That timestamp matters because the report is a snapshot, and a person’s status may change afterward.
Does the roster include everyone arrested in Le Sueur County?
No. A current jail roster identifies people appearing in the facility’s custody report, not every arrest or citation issued throughout the county. Someone may be released, transferred, or held elsewhere.
Is the jail roster free?
The county publishes the roster for public viewing without requiring payment to access the listed report.
Is the roster updated every minute?
Do not assume so. The public report has a displayed timestamp, and internal custody records can change between published updates. Contact the jail when immediate confirmation is necessary.
How to Search the Le Sueur County Jail Roster by Name
Visit the Le Sueur County Jail Roster page.
View the embedded inmate list or open the direct report in a new tab.
Look for the “In Custody” date and time near the top.
Browse the list or use your browser’s Find in Page feature to locate a surname.
Compare available age, booking number, intake date, and photograph.
Review listed offenses, statutory references, and custody status.
Do not assume that a displayed amount is the final amount needed for release.
Save the booking number or relevant court file number for follow-up.
Call 507-419-0321 before making bail, visitation, or transportation arrangements.
Can I search by booking number?
The custody report displays booking numbers. If there is no separate booking-number search field, use the browser’s page-search function or provide the number to jail staff.
Can I search from my phone?
Yes. The official roster is available through a web browser. Because the county embeds a separate report, opening the direct report can improve usability on smaller screens.
What if two inmates have the same name?
Compare age, intake date, MNI, and booking number. Never rely solely on a matching name or photograph.
Le Sueur County Jail Booking Records & Recent Arrests
A booking record documents an admission to the county jail. It may contain an intake date, identifying details, and charges or other legal reasons for custody. The county’s public report displays booking numbers and intake dates, making it useful for checking recent admissions.
How to find a recent booking
What is the difference between an arrest and a booking?
An arrest is a law enforcement action. Booking is the jail’s administrative intake process. A person can be arrested without remaining in county jail custody.
Does the roster show old bookings?
The linked page is an in-custody report rather than a comprehensive historical booking archive. For older records, contact the Sheriff’s Office Records Division.
Do charges mean the person was convicted?
No. A charge is not proof of guilt. A person may be awaiting trial, serving a sentence, or held under another legal authority. Court records provide the procedural history and disposition.
Le Sueur County Jail Mugshots & Booking Photographs
The county-linked custody report includes a Photo column. Booking images may be displayed next to available inmate records, along with identifying information and charges.
How to view an inmate’s booking photograph
Are mugshots available for every inmate?
Not necessarily. The public report may omit a photograph for a particular person or record. The Sheriff’s Office determines what information is publicly displayed or releasable.
Can I request an old mugshot?
Contact the Sheriff’s Office Records Division at 507-357-8226. Availability depends on applicable Minnesota law and the record’s classification.
Does a booking photo prove guilt?
No. A booking photograph is associated with identification during custody processing, not a finding of guilt.
Understanding Le Sueur County Jail Roster Fields
| Roster Field | What It Means | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Photo | Publicly displayed booking image | Additional identity check, not proof of guilt |
| MNI | Master name index identifier | Helps distinguish records |
| Name | Name listed by the jail | Locate a possible match |
| Sex / Age | Demographic fields associated with the record | Help confirm identity |
| Booking # | Identifier for the jail admission | Useful when calling jail staff |
| Intake Date | Date and time of jail admission | Check when the booking occurred |
| Charges | Alleged offenses or custody basis | Identify the relevant legal matter |
| Bail/Bond | Listed amounts, conditions, or hold information | Starting point for court and jail confirmation |
| Court/Pending | Matter awaiting court action | Check the court docket for updates |
| Sentenced | Custody related to a sentence | Ask about applicable release procedures |
| Hold for Another Agency | Custody associated with another jurisdiction | May affect transfer or release |
What If Someone Is Missing From the Le Sueur County Jail Roster?
How to confirm custody when no record appears
If a person was arrested in Le Sueur, Montgomery, Waterville, Kasota, or another county community, do not assume that they remain in the Le Center jail. Confirm the actual holding agency.
Le Sueur County Jail Bail, Bond & Release Payments
The county’s custody report may list bond amounts, conditions, or holds. The amount shown in the public report is not a substitute for current instructions from the court and jail.
How to verify and arrange bail or bond
What is conditional versus unconditional bail?
A court may offer different release terms. Conditional release requires compliance with court-ordered restrictions, while unconditional release does not carry those additional conditions. The amounts and terms depend on the individual court order.
Can I use Inmate Canteen to pay bail?
Do not assume so. The county identifies Inmate Canteen for inmate money deposits, not as a universal bail-payment system. Confirm the correct bail payment process with the jail and court.
Does paying one bond guarantee release?
No. Another charge, warrant, probation matter, or agency hold may prevent immediate release.
Le Sueur County Court Records & Criminal Case Search
The jail roster describes custody. For hearings, filed charges, court orders, and dispositions, use the Minnesota Judicial Branch public case-search service, Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO).
Official statewide public case search for available district court records.

Open Minnesota Courts →How to find a Le Sueur County criminal case
Does the booking number work as a court case number?
Not necessarily. The jail booking number identifies an admission, while the court assigns its own case number. Minnesota criminal case numbers often contain the county identifier, case type, year, and sequence.
Can I find the next court hearing?
Available hearing information may appear in MCRO or through the Minnesota Judicial Branch calendar tools. Confirm a time-sensitive hearing directly with the court.
Are all court records public?
No. Sealed, confidential, juvenile, and other restricted records may be excluded from public search results.

How to leave a voicemail for an inmate
How do phone cards work?
The county states that inmates can purchase phone cards through the jail canteen for $10.69, including tax. Friends and family may also purchase an approved card through Reliance Telephone. Other phone-card types are not accepted by the county’s published inmate telephone system.
Because vendor pricing can change, verify the amount before purchase.

Ordinary correctional phone calls may be monitored or recorded. Attorneys should confirm the appropriate confidential legal-communication process with jail staff.
Le Sueur County Jail Commissary & Sending Money to an Inmate
The Sheriff’s Office identifies Inmate Canteen as its online deposit service. The county also publishes instructions for sending cash or money orders through the mail.

How to deposit money online
Can I send cash or a money order?
Yes. The county’s published instructions allow cash or money orders through postal mail.

Verify the current procedure before delivering or mailing funds.
Are there deposit limits?
The official information reviewed does not specify a universal online transaction limit. Review the provider’s current terms and ask jail staff if a particular deposit is restricted.
Is commissary money the same as bail?
No. Money deposited into an inmate account is not automatically a bail payment. Confirm bond instructions separately with the jail and court.

The county permits photographs printed on printer paper, subject to content restrictions, with a maximum of six photographs in an inmate’s cell at one time.

Attorneys should contact the jail for the correct handling requirements for privileged correspondence.
Le Sueur County Jail Inmate Property Release
Personal belongings taken during booking may be subject to jail storage and release rules. Property held by law enforcement as evidence may require a different authorization process.
How to request an inmate’s personal property
Can someone else collect inmate property?
Ask the jail whether written authorization or other documentation is required. The current property-release procedure was not detailed on the public jail pages reviewed.
What if the property is police evidence?
Evidence is not necessarily controlled by the jail’s property-release process. Contact the investigating agency or responsible court.
Le Sueur County Jail Release Status & Minnesota VINE Alerts
A projected release date may change because of court orders, new charges, other-agency holds, or administrative processing. Confirm an actual release with the jail.

Phone: 877-664-8463
Website: VINELink.com

How to register for a release notification

Can I use VINE anonymously?

Will every custody change trigger an alert?
