To find inmate records in Marshall County, Minnesota, you can begin your search online by visiting the Minnesota Department of Corrections Offender Locator (https://mn.gov/doc/), which provides information on individuals incarcerated in state facilities; however, county jail inmate information may not always be available here. For those specifically held in the Marshall County Jail, check the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office website (https://www.co.marshall.mn.us/departments/sheriff_s_office/index.php) as they sometimes provide links or contact information for jail detainee rosters. If online resources do not yield the desired results, you can contact the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office directly at 208 East Colvin Avenue, Suite 1, Warren, MN 56762, or call them at (218) 745-5411 for assistance with local inmate records. Additionally, you may visit the Sheriff’s Office in person during business hours to request information. Always be prepared to provide the inmate’s full name and, if possible, date of birth for accurate results.
