Official Lyon County Jail Roster — Current In-Custody List
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office publishes an official public inmate roster for Lyon County Jail in Marshall, Minnesota.
The county states that the online roster is automatically updated every 12 hours. It is intended to help the public identify people currently listed in jail custody and review available booking information.
How to Search the Lyon County Jail Roster by Name
Lyon County uses a public custody report rather than requiring visitors to create an account or purchase an inmate-search subscription.
The report may open directly in the browser or be handled as a downloadable report, depending on the device and browser settings.

Can you search every historical Lyon County booking?
The public inmate roster is primarily a current-custody report. It should not be treated as a comprehensive archive of everyone previously arrested or jailed in Lyon County.
For an older booking record, contact the Sheriff’s Records Division and ask whether the information is available under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
Lyon County Jail Mugshots and Booking Photographs
The county’s in-custody report format has included inmate-image areas with booking entries. However, the availability and display of a particular photograph can depend on the current report and applicable disclosure restrictions.
The Sheriff’s Office controls the official booking records. Third-party mugshot websites should not be relied upon to establish someone’s present detention status.
How to check an available booking image
- Open the official current jail roster.
- Locate the correct inmate entry.
- Check whether an image is included.
- Compare the name and booking date.
- Do not assume an older image represents a new arrest.
- If a photo is not publicly available, contact Sheriff’s Records about an eligible data request.

Understanding Lyon County Jail Roster Status and Charge Information
One person may have several charges from the same or different agencies. Each charge may have a distinct legal status.
Does Bail Set mean the inmate can leave immediately?
No. A bail status does not tell you whether every other charge, hold or court requirement has been resolved.
What if several charges are listed?
Read all of them. A person may qualify for release on one matter and remain detained on another.
