The Kandiyohi County Jail roster in Minnesota provides a public list of people recorded in custody at the county jail in Willmar. The county’s official roster includes inmate photographs, names, booking numbers, intake dates, listed charges, custody-related court statuses, and bail or bond information.
For a daily booking check, start with the official in-custody list, review its update timestamp, and compare the intake dates. The jail is located at 2201 23rd Street NE, Willmar, MN 56201. For inmate information, call 320-214-6700 and ask for the jail or corrections division.
Kandiyohi County Jail Roster: Official In-Custody List
Kandiyohi County publishes its jail roster through a county-operated custody system on the kcmn.us domain. The roster is a public custody reference, not a certified criminal-history report or a guarantee of someone’s current location.
Willmar, MN 56201
What information does the roster display?
Does the roster update every day?
The county publishes a dated custody list, but the publicly accessible page does not establish a guaranteed daily refresh schedule. A new booking or release may not immediately appear in the displayed data. The safest approach is to check the timestamp and contact the jail when the exact status matters.
Can I see the current number of inmates?
You can review the records available on the official roster. However, the count changes as people enter and leave custody, and a delayed roster can misstate the present jail population. This guide intentionally does not publish a fixed inmate count.
How to Search the Kandiyohi County Jail Roster by Name
Go to Kandiyohi County In Custody.
Look near the top of the page for the date and time following In Custody. This identifies the displayed roster’s reported reference time.
Use any available search boxes on the roster page. If the interface is not responding, use your browser’s built-in page search.
Try the surname first, then the full name if needed. On desktop, the browser shortcut Ctrl+F can help locate visible text.
Check the age, booking number, intake date and available photograph before deciding that a record matches the person.
Read the listed legal status and bond amounts carefully. A person may have several separate charge entries.
Call 320-214-6700 if you need to confirm whether the person is still held, whether a bond has changed, or whether a transfer occurred.
How to search when you only know part of the name
Try the surname without a first name. If that fails, search a shorter portion of the name, an alternate spelling or the first name. Some records use a different order for compound surnames or include middle names.
Can I search the Kandiyohi County Jail roster on a phone?
Yes. Open the official page in your mobile browser. The table may require vertical or horizontal scrolling to see all columns. If the search boxes are difficult to use, try the browser’s Find in page function.
What should I record from a matching entry?
Save the person’s name, booking number, MNI if displayed, intake date and relevant charges. Those details are useful when contacting the jail or searching court records.
Kandiyohi County Jail Daily Bookings & Recent Arrests
The official roster includes an Intake Date column showing when a listed person was admitted to custody. This makes it useful for checking recent bookings, but it is not the same as a complete daily arrest log.
How to find today’s or yesterday’s bookings
Does the in-custody roster include everyone arrested today?
No. The roster is an in-custody list. Someone who was arrested, booked and released may no longer appear on the current list. A person arrested by another agency may also be held at a different facility.
How do I find a booking from last week or last month?
If the person remains in custody, the roster may still show the original intake date. If the person was released, contact the Sheriff’s Office about obtaining the appropriate booking or detention record. The current roster should not be treated as a searchable archive of all former inmates.
What is the difference between an arrest date and an intake date?
The arrest date describes when law enforcement took someone into custody. The intake date is the time recorded when the jail processed the person. These can differ, especially when a person is transported between facilities.
| Information needed | Best starting point | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Current jail custody | Official in-custody roster | Check the timestamp and confirm urgent information by phone. |
| Daily bookings | Intake Date column in the official roster | Not a complete list of all arrests or people already released. |
| Past booking | Sheriff’s Office records inquiry | Availability depends on retention and disclosure rules. |
| Current criminal case | Minnesota Court Records Online | Some case information is restricted or unavailable online. |
| State prison custody | Minnesota DOC Public Viewer | County jail and state prison records are separate. |
Kandiyohi County Jail Roster Fields Explained
The official roster contains several abbreviations and legal-status entries that can be confusing. The table below explains what each field is intended to help you identify.
| Field | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Photo | Booking photograph displayed when available | Use with other identifying details; it does not establish guilt. |
| MNI | Minnesota identification number used in criminal-justice records | Record it when speaking with authorized staff if relevant. |
| Name | Recorded name of the person | Check spelling and name order. |
| Sex | Sex designation displayed in the custody record | May help distinguish similar names. |
| Age | Age shown in the roster | Compare with other identifying information. |
| Booking # | Number associated with a particular jail booking | Useful for custody inquiries. |
| Intake Date | Date and time recorded for jail admission | Check whether the person was booked during the period you are investigating. |
| Charges | Allegations, statutes and custody-related status entries | Use court records for filed charges and case outcomes. |
| Bail / Bond | Amounts and payment-related fields associated with listed charges | Confirm current release requirements with jail staff. |
What do F, G and M mean in the charges column?
These are commonly used offense-level abbreviations. F generally indicates felony, G gross misdemeanor, and M misdemeanor. The roster may also include a statutory citation and a separate custody status.
What does BOND/BAIL SET mean?
It indicates a bond or bail-related status in the custody system. It does not necessarily mean the person can be released immediately by paying the amount shown. Other charges, holds or court conditions may apply.
What does HELD PENDING NEXT HEARING mean?
It indicates a custody status associated with a future court proceeding. Check the court docket for the next hearing and ask jail staff about the person’s current release eligibility.
What does COURT/PENDING mean?
It generally indicates that the listed matter remains pending in the court process. It is not a conviction and does not establish how the case will be resolved.
What does SENTENCED mean?
It indicates a sentence-related custody status for the listed matter. However, the person may also have separate pending charges or holds. Review the complete record and court docket before drawing conclusions.
Why are there several amounts under Bail/Bond?
The county’s roster may display an amount, a conditional amount, bail received and bond received. These are distinct fields and may apply to different charges. Do not add the figures together or assume they represent a single amount required for release.
Kandiyohi County Jail Mugshots & Booking Photos
The official Kandiyohi County roster includes a Photo column. Booking photographs may be displayed alongside the inmate’s name, MNI, booking number and intake date.
How to find a booking photo
Can I obtain an older mugshot?
The current roster does not establish an online historical photo archive. For an older photograph, contact the Sheriff’s Office and ask about its records-request procedure, applicable Minnesota data-practices restrictions and any fees.
Does a mugshot mean someone was convicted?
No. A booking photograph documents an identification or intake process. It does not prove guilt or indicate the outcome of a criminal charge.
Why Someone May Not Appear on the Kandiyohi County Jail Roster
No-result troubleshooting checklist
What if the person is in a Minnesota state prison?
Use the Minnesota Department of Corrections Public Viewer. State correctional records are separate from the Kandiyohi County Jail roster.
What if the person is in federal custody?
Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for covered federal records.
Can I search for a juvenile inmate?
Juvenile custody information is subject to separate privacy rules. Do not expect juvenile detention records to be displayed in the adult public roster. Contact the appropriate agency for lawful information-access procedures.
Kandiyohi County Jail Bail, Bond & Release Information
The roster includes bail and bond fields, but the amounts shown may relate to separate charges and different release conditions. A displayed figure is not a guarantee that paying that amount will secure release.
How to verify bail before paying
What is the difference between cash bail and a bond?
Cash bail generally involves depositing the amount required by the court, subject to the applicable order and rules. A surety bond involves a legally authorized surety arrangement. The availability of either option depends on the case and jurisdiction.
Why might someone remain in custody after bail is paid?
The person may have another hold, warrant, sentence, court order or pending release-processing requirement. Confirm the entire custody status with jail staff.
Can I pay bail through a commissary deposit website?
Do not assume so. Commissary or inmate-account funds are separate from bail. Use only payment instructions confirmed by the jail or responsible court.
Kandiyohi County Jail Visitation Hours & Visitor Requirements
Visitation arrangements can depend on inmate housing, security status, available visiting equipment and facility scheduling. The official roster does not itself provide a verified current visiting timetable.
Before making a trip to Willmar, contact the jail at 320-214-6700 and ask for the current visitor instructions.
How to arrange a jail visit
What are the current visiting hours?
A current day-by-day schedule could not be confirmed from the accessible official county materials used for this guide. Rather than publish an unsupported timetable, visitors should call the jail for the active schedule and appointment procedure.
Can I visit without an appointment?
Do not assume walk-in visits are accepted. Confirm whether advance booking is mandatory before arriving at the facility.
What identification should I bring?
Ask the jail which forms of identification it accepts. A valid government-issued photo ID is a sensible item to have available, but any additional requirements should be confirmed with staff.
Can visitation be canceled?
Yes. Security incidents, disciplinary restrictions, medical needs or operational changes can affect a visit. Confirm eligibility and scheduling before traveling.
Kandiyohi County Jail Inmate Phone Calls & Communication
Inmate telephone services at Kandiyohi County Jail have been associated with Reliance Telephone. Because communication contracts, charges and account instructions can change, confirm the current provider directly with the jail before purchasing credits or creating an account.
How to arrange inmate phone calls
Can I call an inmate directly?
Inmates generally use approved jail telephones to place outgoing calls. Call the jail to learn whether it accepts emergency messages and how those messages are handled.
Are jail calls recorded?
Ordinary jail calls may be monitored or recorded. Attorneys should contact the facility to arrange communications protected by applicable legal-privilege rules.
What if the inmate cannot call me?
Possible reasons include account problems, facility restrictions, unavailable calling times or an incorrect telephone number. Confirm the active provider and ask staff whether the inmate has access to telephone privileges.
Kandiyohi County Jail Commissary & Inmate Money Deposits
Inmate commissary services have been associated with Inmate Canteen / TurnKey Corrections. Before sending money, confirm that the service is currently approved for Kandiyohi County Jail and that you have selected the correct inmate.
How to add money to an inmate account
What can an inmate buy with commissary funds?
Approved purchases may include hygiene products, snacks, writing materials or other items permitted by the jail. Availability depends on facility rules and the inmate’s account status.
Can I deposit cash at the jail?
Ask staff whether a lobby kiosk or other in-person deposit method is currently available. Do not assume that the jail accepts cash at the front desk.
What happens to unused money after release?
Refund and transfer procedures depend on the jail and account provider. Ask about remaining funds when arranging release or property pickup.
Kandiyohi County Jail Inmate Mailing Address & Mail Rules
The jail’s physical address is 2201 23rd Street NE, Willmar, MN 56201. However, personal inmate mail may be subject to a separate processing address, mail-scanning arrangement or other restrictions.
Before sending correspondence, contact the jail to confirm the currently approved inmate-mail address and required identification format.
How to send inmate mail correctly
Can I send books or magazines?
Ask whether books must be shipped directly from an approved publisher or retailer and whether hardcover books are prohibited. Do not order books until the current rules are confirmed.
Can I include money in a letter?
Do not send cash or money orders through inmate mail unless the jail specifically authorizes that method. Use the approved inmate-funds procedure.
What if my mail is returned?
Check the inmate’s custody status, address format and mail restrictions. A transfer, release, incorrect identifier or prohibited enclosure can cause a delivery problem.
Kandiyohi County Jail Inmate Property Release & Pickup
Property held by the jail may include clothing, personal effects and other belongings collected during booking. Release procedures can require the inmate’s authorization and identification from the person collecting the items.
How to arrange a property pickup
Can I drop off clothing or other items?
Do not bring items without confirming the facility’s current drop-off policy. Many correctional facilities limit outside property for security reasons.
What if the property is evidence?
Evidence may be held by the arresting or investigating agency rather than the jail. Ask which agency controls the item and whether a separate release authorization is necessary.
Kandiyohi County Jail Court Records, Charges & Hearing Dates
The jail roster reports custody-related charge information. For filed criminal cases, hearing dates, court orders and final dispositions, use the Minnesota Judicial Branch’s official court-record system.
How to find an inmate’s court case
Which court handles Kandiyohi County criminal cases?
Kandiyohi County is part of Minnesota’s Eighth Judicial District. The Kandiyohi County District Court handles criminal proceedings within its jurisdiction.
Where is the Kandiyohi County Courthouse?
The county courthouse is located at 505 Becker Avenue SW, Willmar, MN 56201. Confirm the courtroom, hearing format and reporting instructions with court administration before attending.
Does the jail roster show the next court date?
The roster contains charge and custody-status information, but the official court docket is the more appropriate source for hearing schedules. A status such as HELD PENDING NEXT HEARING should not be treated as a substitute for a confirmed hearing date.
Can court records be sealed or restricted?
Yes. Some Minnesota court records are confidential, sealed or otherwise restricted. A missing online record does not necessarily mean that no court matter exists.
What if I need an attorney?
If the person is facing criminal charges, ask the court or the person’s attorney about representation and public-defender eligibility. This guide does not provide legal advice.
Kandiyohi County Jail Release Notifications & VINELink
VINELink provides custody-status and victim-notification services where supported by the participating agency. Availability can vary by facility and record.
How to check for available release alerts
Can the jail guarantee a release date?
Release depends on court orders, bail, sentences, holds and jail processing. An estimated release date may change, and the current roster should not be treated as a release guarantee.
