Jackson County Contacts

This is a private reference, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official record.

Official Offices and Records

The correct contact depends on who held the person and what must be verified. Call before visiting when a records counter has no separately published hours.

Use these routes to reach the source that holds each type of information:

  • For a released Jackson County inmate or county release record, start with the home search and records path, then contact the Sheriff's Office.
  • For misdemeanor or gross-misdemeanor supervision, call Jackson County Probation at 507-847-5660; state felony supervised release is routed through MNDOC.
  • For recent county custody changes, use the Jail Releases: 24 Hours fallback process and Minnesota VINE.
  • For a prison date or notice, use the Projected Release sources or MNDOC Victim Assistance at 800-657-3830.
  • For a county VINE alert, use VINELink Inmate Search or call Minnesota VINE at 1-877-664-8463.
  • For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the BOP locator; for current immigration detention, use the ICE locator.
  • For facility logistics, call Jackson County Jail before travel because the replacement facility is not yet confirmed open.
