Fillmore County Jail Overview

Fillmore County Jail, also called the Fillmore County Adult Detention Center in roster language, is operated by the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff John DeGeorge. The sheriff's official material lists the jail as a sheriff's office division led by Jail Administrator Jamie Fenske. The facility is the local jail for arrests and short-term custody in Fillmore County, including people booked by the sheriff's office and people arrested by local police agencies that do not operate their own public jail rosters.

The detention map is simple. The research found one local facility that needs a Fillmore County facility page: Fillmore County Jail in Preston. No Minnesota Department of Corrections prison, Federal Bureau of Prisons institution, or ICE detention facility was found physically inside Fillmore County. FMC Rochester is the nearest major BOP facility in southeast Minnesota, but it is in Olmsted County and is not a Fillmore County jail facility.

The official jail page source is the county's Fillmore County Jail page.

The county jail page anchors the local facility facts, including jail administration, PREA reporting channels, and the connection to the sheriff's office.

Fillmore County Jail Capacity

The current capacity source is the 2026 Minnesota DOC inspection report. It lists Fillmore County Jail as Facility Type: Jail, with secure coed beds and operating authority running from June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028. The report gives designed capacity, approved capacity, and operational capacity, which should not be blended with older 90-day-lockup numbers without date context.

The dated trend matters. A 2024 DOC inspection listed the facility as a 90 Day Lockup with 20 approved beds and 14.00 operational capacity. The 2021 jail needs assessment said the jail had been downgraded in 2017 from Class III 365-day status to Class II 90-day status because of building age, linear design, housing space, recreation limits, and other plant issues. By the 2026 report, the capacity and jail classification had changed.

Search Fillmore County Jail Inmates

Current custody at Fillmore County Jail is searched through the official linked Fillmore Jail in-custody roster. The page is a direct table, not a query form. It shows booking photos, MNI numbers, names, sex, age, booking numbers, intake dates, charges, and bail or bond columns. The county roster is the right tool for people physically held at the jail now.

1. Open the county current roster page and follow the link to the live Fillmore Jail in-custody table.
2. Check the roster timestamp, because the county says the list is updated daily and may not show later bookings or releases.
3. Use browser find for a last name and compare age, MNI, booking number, intake date, and charge rows.
4. Call 507-765-3874 if the person is missing, recently released, transferred, or listed with unclear bond information.
5. Use MNDOC, BOP, or ICE only when the person is no longer in county jail custody or is held in a separate state, federal, or immigration system.

For a deeper field-by-field roster explanation, the county records page at Fillmore County inmate records explains the live table, booking-number fields, and fallback channels.

Fillmore County Jail Contact

The main jail contact is used for custody questions, roster questions, and local visiting confirmations. The sheriff's office contact page says callers who need a dispatcher or deputy should call the main number and choose option #1 or stay on the auto attendant. The jail administration page also lists 507-765-2846 near the Jail Administrator block, while the FAQ and roster direct jail questions to the main jail number.

Visitors should route to the sheriff's office and jail complex rather than to the courthouse alone. The official map-to-jail page did not publish detailed public parking, transit, or ADA entrance instructions in the captured research. Confirm the visitor entrance, accessible entry, and parking instructions with jail staff before arriving.

Visit Fillmore County Jail

Fillmore County Jail visitation has a documented source discrepancy. The jail FAQ lists Tuesday and Thursday visiting hours and requires picture ID. The inmate handbook lists Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with a shorter afternoon end time, plus notes about visitor applications and approval. Treat the table as a source comparison and call the jail before travel.

Handbook rules say social visits are non-contact unless administration authorizes otherwise. A visitor may visit an inmate only once a day, and the inmate may refuse a visit. Visitors must be adults with a driver's license or other government-issued photo ID unless they are qualifying minors accompanied by an adult. Staff may deny or stop visits for conduct, dress, intoxication, contraband, or security reasons.

The county FAQ source for the schedule is the Fillmore County Jail FAQ page.

The FAQ is useful for public-facing hours and contact methods, while the handbook adds rules that affect whether a visit is approved.

Mail Phone Money

Fillmore County Jail mail, funds, and phone access are local jail rules. They should not be copied from MNDOC prison rules or federal facility pages. The FAQ says detainees can send and receive mail and gives the mailing address format. The handbook explains that incoming non-legal mail is checked for contraband and money, while legal mail may be opened and inspected in front of the inmate but not read or censored.

The jail cannot accept pre-stamped return envelopes, stamps, photocopies of any kind, or computer print-outs under the FAQ. The handbook says outgoing non-legal mail must not be sealed, must be stamped, and must have a return address. No current official fee table for deposits or phone calls was located, so transaction charges should be checked with the vendor or jail.

Fillmore County Jail Intake

Booking at Fillmore County Jail can include property inventory, booking photo, fingerprints or identification steps, medical and mental-health screening, classification, and phone access. The handbook says property is inventoried and placed in a property envelope, the inmate acknowledges the inventory, and property left after release is disposed of after 30 days. Money is counted on admission and placed into the jail management system.

Minnesota Rule 2911.3400 requires newly admitted inmates to be allowed a local or collect long-distance call to family or a significant other during the admission process. Minnesota Statute 641.15 requires an approved mental-health screening tool as part of jail intake. Fillmore's handbook says non-emergency medical issues use a medical request form and that medical services are provided through Mend Correctional Care.

Fillmore Jail Lookup Systems

Fillmore County Jail holds local jail inmates. A person sentenced to Minnesota prison is searched through the MNDOC Public Viewer, not the county roster, after DOC intake and public posting. A federal sentenced inmate is searched through the BOP locator, while immigration detention is searched through ICE's online locator. VINE can send custody notifications, but it is not the complete record source.

About Fillmore County Jail

Fillmore County Jail has an unusually detailed facility history. The 2021 needs assessment said the earlier jail was built in 1969 and expanded or updated in 1995 with a new sally port, sheriff employee offices, and a juvenile holding cell. That juvenile space was later converted into minimum-security holding. In 2017, the DOC downgrade to 90-day status reflected the problems of an older linear jail, including limited housing separation, recreation, program space, medical space, sightlines, and ADA access.

Programs and conditions in the handbook include limited education, GED or life-skills options, recorded Sunday church service, pastor or Gideons availability, an in-house library, Sentence to Serve or Community Work Service when approved by the court and jail administration, recreation equipment, medical request forms, meals, grievance procedures, and discipline rules. The 2026 inspection's new capacity approval shows a major change from the older 90-day-lockup context, but program access still depends on classification, staffing, restrictions, and current jail operations.

The sheriff's office page is relevant because the sheriff operates the jail, dispatch, patrol, investigations, civil process, and related public safety divisions.
