Lac qui Parle County Jail In-Custody Search

Lac qui Parle County Jail Overview

Lac qui Parle County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail at the Government Center in Madison. The official sheriff page says the office enforces county, state, and federal laws, investigates crimes and accidents, apprehends criminals, operates the county jail, dispatches emergency services, serves civil process, and enforces court orders and warrants.

This facility matters for Big Stone County because Big Stone County has no local jail facility located in the research, and public reporting has identified Lac qui Parle as a receiving jail for at least one Big Stone County arrestee. A person can therefore have a Big Stone County arrest or court case and still appear on the Lac qui Parle custody list.

The official sheriff page at Lac qui Parle County Sheriff's Office is the source for the jail address, phone, office hours, dispatch availability, and visiting schedule.

For custody status, use the separate public in-custody list rather than the sheriff overview page.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Lac qui Parle County Jail

1. Open the Lac qui Parle in-custody list.
2. Scan the visible rows or use the browser find command to search by last name.
3. Review the MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charges, and bail/bond columns.
4. Check whether the charge status indicates remanded, sentenced, court/pending, or another custody status.
5. Call (320) 598-3720 before relying on a public row for visitation, bond, release, or transfer timing.
6. If the person is not listed, check Traverse County Jail, Minnesota VINE, the Big Stone County sheriff, or the DOC locator.

Lac qui Parle County Jail Address and Contact

Visiting Someone at Lac qui Parle County Jail

The official Lac qui Parle sheriff page posts jail visiting hours. Call before travel because roster status, court movement, discipline, illness, or facility needs can affect whether a visit occurs.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Lac qui Parle County Jail

The research located the jail address, phone, visiting schedule, and custody list fields, but did not locate a public inmate-mail format, commissary vendor, phone/video vendor, tablet vendor, or deposit fee schedule. Bond and bail information may appear in the roster, but payment steps should be confirmed with the jail or court before money is sent.

Booking and Intake at Lac qui Parle County Jail

The in-custody list publishes fields for photo, MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charges, and bail/bond. Sample rows inspected in the research used statuses such as remanded, sentenced, and court/pending, with Minnesota statute citations and bond columns. The roster does not replace Big Stone County District Court records when the arrest or charge was filed in Big Stone County.

For a Big Stone County arrest, intake at Lac qui Parle can create the public jail row while the case remains tied to a different court. Match the booking number and intake date to the court record when possible. A roster charge may show the custody reason, but MCRO and the Big Stone County District Court calendar show the prosecutor-filed charge, hearing date, and later case outcome.

About Lac qui Parle County Jail

The 2025 Minnesota DOC inspection found no JJDPA violations at Lac qui Parle County Jail but noted significant aging, dark and limited space, and antiquated systems. Minnesota Statutes section 241.021 and Minnesota Rules chapter 2911 provide the statewide inspection and jail-standards framework. For a sentenced state-prison inmate, use the Minnesota DOC Locator rather than the county jail roster.

The sheriff page also makes clear that the office operates the jail along with countywide law-enforcement duties. That is different from Big Stone County's local setup, where the sheriff is the arrest and records contact but not the operator of a jail with public beds. Use Lac qui Parle's posted visiting hours only after the live roster or a jail call confirms that the person is still housed there.
