Fillmore County Jail Roster

The official local path begins on the Fillmore County current inmate roster landing page. That county page says the Fillmore County Adult Detention Center houses detainees and that the in-custody list shows who is in jail on a given day. It also warns that the list is updated daily and is not guaranteed to be current, accurate, or complete at every moment. False identifying information, a new booking, or a release after the update can all affect what appears online.

The actual live custody table is linked from the county page at the Fillmore Jail in-custody roster. The live page inspected for the research had a roster timestamp and displayed current custody rows with booking photos, MNI numbers, names, sex, age, booking numbers, intake dates, charges, and bail or bond information. It is not a search form. Readers scan the table directly or use browser find to locate a name. If a name is missing, the county directs questions to the jail at 507-765-3874.

The county roster covers local jail custody. It does not replace Minnesota Department of Corrections records for sentenced state prisoners, Federal Bureau of Prisons records for federal inmates, ICE records for immigration detention, or court records for formal charges. A person may start in the Fillmore County Jail after arrest, appear on the roster for a short period, and later move to a different system after release, transfer, sentencing, or a detainer.

The county roster landing page is shown in the official screenshot source, Fillmore County current inmate jail roster.

That county page matters because it gives the daily-update warning and points users to the official live list rather than a private copy of jail data.

Fillmore County Roster Fields

The Fillmore County inmate roster is a direct current-custody table. There is no last-name search box, booking-number search, date filter, export button, or login prompt in the captured roster. The practical search method is to open the roster, check its timestamp, and use browser find for a last name. The table itself supplies the identifying fields needed to compare people with similar names.

Because the roster is a table rather than a query tool, the absence of a match is not proof that a person was never booked. It may mean the person was released, transferred, booked after the last update, listed under a different spelling, or held in another system. For that reason, the jail phone line and records request process remain part of a complete Fillmore County inmate records search.

Use Fillmore County Inmate Records

The best roster search starts with the official county link and then moves outward only when the table does not answer the question. Booking charges on the table are custody data. They can differ from formal court charges after the Fillmore County Attorney reviews reports and a case is filed in Fillmore County District Court.

1. Open the county roster landing page and follow the current Fillmore County Jail inmate list link.
2. Check the live roster timestamp before relying on the result. A new booking or release can occur after the update.
3. Use browser find for a last name. Compare first name, middle name, age, MNI, booking number, and intake date when names are similar.
4. Read the charges section as jail custody information. Verify filed charges later through court records if the case has reached court.
5. Review bail and bond fields, but call the jail or court before trying to post money because hearings and holds can change release status.
6. If the person is not listed, call the Fillmore County Jail at 507-765-3874 and ask whether the person is in local custody.
7. Move to MNDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE only when the custody facts point outside the county jail roster.

The official linked live table appears in the screenshot source for the Fillmore Jail in-custody roster.

The live table is the page that carries the booking rows, so it is the core online source for current Fillmore County jail inmate records.

Fillmore County Inmate Profile Fields

A Fillmore County roster row gives enough information to identify a current detainee, but it does not publish every jail or court detail. The visible data is narrow: booking ID fields, intake time, charge rows, and bail or bond columns. Sensitive or operational fields, such as full date of birth, home address, housing unit, arresting officer, and court date, were not visible in the inspected public table.

The roster is useful for current custody and quick identification. It is not a full criminal-history record. A charge is an allegation or custody basis unless a court later enters a conviction. A bail amount is also not a command to pay without checking the current order, because the court may set conditions, no-bond holds, or other agency holds.

Fillmore County Jail Contact

When the online roster is unclear, the jail is the first local fallback. Sheriff John DeGeorge's office contact page says dispatch operates at all times, and callers who need a dispatcher or deputy should call 507-765-3874 and choose option #1 or keep listening to the auto attendant. The jail page also lists Jail Administrator Jamie Fenske and a jail administration number, but the roster and FAQ point inmate questions to the main jail number.

For older jail records, booking photos not visible online, incident reports, or other law-enforcement data, the sheriff services page provides the local data request route. It instructs requesters to complete the top portion of the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office Data Request Form and return it to the sheriff's office or email it to bharmening@co.fillmore.mn.us. The captured county source did not publish a data-request fee schedule or processing time, so those details should be confirmed with the office before sending payment or expecting a deadline.

Fillmore County Visitation Schedule

Fillmore County's public sources do not line up perfectly on visiting hours. The jail FAQ lists Tuesday and Thursday visiting windows and says picture ID is required. The inmate handbook lists Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and gives a shorter afternoon end time than the FAQ. Because the FAQ and handbook differ, visitors should call 507-765-3874 before traveling, especially when planning a Saturday visit or arriving near the afternoon cutoff.

Handbook rules say normal visits last 20 minutes per visiting day unless staff allow more time. Social visits are non-contact unless administration authorizes otherwise. Visitors must complete an application and be approved, must be at least 18 with a driver's license or other government-issued photo ID, and must follow dress and conduct rules. Minors are limited to children or siblings of the inmate and must be with an adult.

The county FAQ source for visits, mail, phone, funds, and VINE is captured in the screenshot source for Fillmore County Jail FAQs.

The FAQ is the public page that ties visiting, inmate messages, funds, and VINE notification into one local jail source.

Fillmore County Mail Money Phone

Mail and money rules should be matched to the jail's current instructions, not to state prison or federal custody rules. The FAQ address format is "Name of Detainee," Fillmore County Jail, 901 NW Houston St, Preston, MN 55965. Incoming non-legal mail may be opened and checked for contraband and money. Legal mail is treated differently when the sender's name and official status appear on the envelope.

The handbook says money taken at admission is counted and placed into the jail management system. It also says inmates may order canteen daily if they have funds and are not restricted. No researched source gave a current deposit fee, commissary markup, or vendor transaction charge, so none is stated here.

Fillmore Custody Lookup Systems

Fillmore County inmate records often get confused with state, federal, and immigration systems. The county roster is the current local jail tool. The MNDOC Public Viewer is for adults committed to the Minnesota Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction, including prison and supervision. The DOC public viewer can lag for newly sentenced people, so a recent sentence may not appear there right away.

The BOP path is strongest after a federal sentence. Federal pretrial custody may involve U.S. Marshals arrangements or federal court information. ICE search can use A-Number and country of birth, or biographical information, depending on what is known. None of these systems is a substitute for the Fillmore County roster when the person is physically booked in the local jail.

Fillmore County Booking Intake

A typical Fillmore County booking path begins with arrest by the sheriff's office or a local police agency, transport to the Fillmore County Jail, intake, identification, property inventory, a booking photo, medical and mental-health screening, classification, phone access, and then release, first court appearance, or continued detention. The inmate handbook says personal property is inventoried and secured, and property left after release may be disposed of after 30 days.

Minnesota law requires mental-health screening as part of jail intake. The Fillmore handbook identifies Mend Correctional Care for medical care and says non-emergency requests use a medical request form. The handbook also says each person booked for confinement and not released at completion of booking is required to pay a $20 booking fee, which may be taken from money on hand or later received while detained. That fee comes from the handbook, not from the roster.

MNI

Master Name Index, an identifying number in law-enforcement records.

Booking number

The jail event number tied to a specific admission.

Court pending

A roster status showing unresolved court action.

Detainer

A hold or request from another agency that can affect release.

First appearance

An early court hearing after arrest.

VINE and Records Requests

Minnesota VINE is available online and by phone at 877-MN-4-VINE or 877-664-8463, according to the jail FAQ. VINE is useful for release or custody notification, especially for victims and families who need alerts. It is not a substitute for the roster, the court record, or a direct call to jail staff when safety decisions are involved. The jail FAQ specifically warns users not to depend solely on VINE for safety.

No dedicated Fillmore County Sheriff mobile app was located in official sources or search results. The sheriff's site did note a move to Everbridge emergency notification in January 2026, but that page did not identify an inmate roster, warrant lookup, or most-wanted feature. For inmate lookup, the researched official path remains the county roster, jail phone line, sheriff data request process, MNDOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE notification where applicable.

The Minnesota VINE screenshot source is the state VINE custody and criminal-case notification page.

VINE is best understood as an alert system that complements Fillmore County inmate records rather than replacing the official roster or agency records.
