Check the Goodhue County Jail Roster, Then Use the Right Source for Bail, Court or Visits
The Goodhue County Sheriff publishes a jail roster for the Adult Detention Center in Red Wing. Use the county roster first for a current custody check, then move to the District Court, warrant list, TurnKey/Inmate Canteen, Sheriff Records or Minnesota corrections resources depending on what you need to verify.
The roster is not a court judgment. Goodhue County itself warns that roster information should not be relied on for legal action and that true identity can only be confirmed through fingerprint comparison.
Jump to the Exact Task
What the Goodhue County Roster Actually Tells You
The Sheriff’s jail-roster page links to a county-generated PDF. The roster report can show an inmate photograph, name, intake date, bail, arresting agency, listed charges, status and a projected release date when the county has one to publish.
Good use of the roster
- Check whether someone appears in the current county report.
- Compare intake date and arresting agency.
- Read the county’s current custody/status notation.
- Identify case numbers or warrant references that can be checked in court records.
What the roster cannot prove
- That a listed charge resulted in conviction.
- That a bail amount has not changed since the PDF was generated.
- That a projected release date is guaranteed.
- That a same-name result proves identity.
- That an old saved PDF still reflects current custody.

How to Search the Goodhue County Jail Roster
- Open the county jail-roster page. Start from Goodhue County rather than a third-party inmate directory.
- Open the current roster report. Confirm the “Current as of” date and time printed on the PDF before reading an entry.
- Search the surname. Use your PDF viewer’s Find function. Try legal-name variations, maiden/former surnames, hyphenation and reasonable spelling differences when needed.
- Compare the full entry. Review intake date, bail, arresting agency, charges, status and projected release date when listed. Do not identify someone by name or photo alone.
- Capture the useful case detail. If the entry includes a Minnesota case number or warrant reference, use it in MCRO or when calling the court.
- Verify the next action separately. Recheck current custody before paying bail, depositing money, travelling for a visit or arranging release pickup.
How to Read Bail, Status and Projected Release Fields
| Roster field | Useful for | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Intake date | Matching the booking to a recent event. | The person is still held just because the intake was recent. |
| Bail | Seeing what amount the generated report showed. | The amount or release condition is unchanged. |
| Arresting agency | Knowing which agency is tied to the arrest or warrant. | That agency controls the final court case or current custody. |
| Charges | Understanding allegations, warrants or holds shown by the jail. | The listed wording is a conviction or final disposition. |
| Status | Reading county notations such as court/pending, bail set, sentenced or hold placed. | A short status label explains every active case or detainer. |
| Projected release date | Seeing the jail’s projected date when one is published. | Release will occur at a guaranteed time or without later changes. |
If the Person Is Not on the Roster
Very recent arrest
Possible explanation: transport, booking, fingerprints or report generation may not be complete.
Next action: reload the county roster later; for a time-sensitive question call ADC general information at 651-267-2804.
Name mismatch
Possible explanation: maiden/former surname, hyphenation, middle name or spelling differs.
Next action: search reasonable legal-name variants and compare agency, date and case number.
Released or transferred
Possible explanation: the person left Goodhue County custody after the report or was moved to another jurisdiction.
Next action: use MCRO, Minnesota DOC or the receiving county only when the custody trail supports that route.
State sentence longer than one year
Possible explanation: the ADC says a person convicted with a sentence over one year would typically transfer to a state facility.
Next action: use Minnesota DOC’s incarcerated-individual search.
Warrant but no custody result
Possible explanation: a warrant does not mean the person has been booked into the ADC.
Next action: check the county Warrant List and verify it with the Sheriff.
Juvenile case
Possible explanation: Goodhue County says juveniles are transported to specialized facilities and are not held in the ADC.
Next action: use the responsible court or agency instead of treating the adult jail roster as complete juvenile custody information.
Use MCRO and Goodhue County District Court for the Legal Case
Goodhue County District Court is part of Minnesota’s First Judicial District and has original jurisdiction over criminal, traffic, civil, family, probate and juvenile cases filed in the county. MCRO provides online access to many public district-court case records, documents, hearings and judgments.
Goodhue County District Court
Goodhue County Justice Center
454 West Sixth Street
Red Wing, MN 55066
651-267-4800
Current business hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
MCRO search choices
- Case Search: person, business, attorney, case number or citation.
- Document Search: public documents by case number.
- Hearing Search: scheduled hearings.
- Judgment Search: docketed money judgments.
The Goodhue County Warrant List Is Separate From the Jail Roster
The Sheriff maintains a public Warrant List, but the county expressly warns that wanted individuals should not be arrested based solely on that online information. For warrant verification, call the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office at 651-267-2600.
A warrant is not proof of current incarceration. A person can have an active warrant and no Goodhue County jail entry, or can be jailed on a matter that does not appear the way you expect on a warrant list.
Verify Bail Before Using the County Payment Link
The ADC page provides an online remote bail/bond payment route through AllPaid/GovPayNet for people in custody and for outstanding warrant bond amounts. The payment page identifies Goodhue County Sheriff, lists the bail-remote phone as 651-267-2805, and calculates a service fee before checkout.
Open the county-linked remote bail payment page. AllPaid’s 24-hour website assistance number on the payment page is 1-888-604-7888.
Goodhue County Has Switched Video Visitation From Securus to TurnKey
The live ADC page now says communication services have transitioned from Securus to TurnKey. Visitors need to re-register and create new visitation sessions through Inmate Canteen. The county asks visitors to allow approximately 24 hours for registration approval.
| Current public visiting window | Notes |
|---|---|
| Monday–Friday, 8:00–11:00 a.m. | Onsite video visiting; county says onsite visits are free. |
| Monday–Friday, 1:00–3:00 p.m. | Onsite video visiting. |
| Monday & Wednesday, 6:30–8:30 p.m. | Evening public visiting hours. |
| Saturday, 1:00–3:00 p.m. | Saturday public visiting hours. |
The onsite video-visitation area is on the second floor of the Law Enforcement Center lobby; the county states that an elevator is available and the area is accessible to visitors with disabilities. Remote visits from home are available after approval and are subject to fees.
Calls, Email and Text Messages Use the Current TurnKey / Inmate Canteen System
Detainees have access to collect or debit phone calls during regular out-of-cell periods. Jail staff do not take ordinary personal phone messages to pass to detainees.
- Use Inmate Canteen for the current TurnKey visitor/account route.
- The live county page says detainees can use email, text messaging, video visits and calls through the current communication system.
- Do not expect an incoming personal call to be patched directly to a detainee.
- For deaf or hard-of-hearing detainees, the county states that ASL interpreters, VRS, video remote interpreting, videophones, texting and other auxiliary services are available as appropriate.
- For accessibility questions, the county currently lists Lieutenant Cory Gagnon at 651-267-2807.
How to Deposit Money for a Goodhue County Detainee
Online / mobile
The ADC directs credit-card deposits to Inmate Canteen and its mobile service. Confirm the detainee before checkout.
Lobby kiosk
The county says credit-card and cash deposits are available at the blue Customer Service Kiosk in the Adult Detention Center lobby.
The live ADC page also states that mailed funds cannot be personal checks and lists money orders, certified bank or teller checks, and cash as accepted forms. Because mailing cash carries obvious loss risk and payment rules can change, verify the current mailing/deposit instruction with the ADC before sending money through the mail.
Current Goodhue County Detainee Mail Address
[Name of Detainee]
430 W. 6th Street
Red Wing, MN 55066
The live ADC page says detainees can send and receive mail. It also says the facility cannot accept pre-stamped return envelopes or stamps, photocopies of any kind, or computer print-outs.
Medical, Mental-Health and PREA Routes
Health services
The ADC staff page says Goodhue County contracts with Advanced Correctional Healthcare. It currently lists nursing coverage five days a week from 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., a visiting physician one day a week and a mental-health professional one day a week.
For an urgent concern about someone in custody, call the ADC rather than trying to diagnose or route treatment through the roster.
PREA reporting
Goodhue County states a zero-tolerance policy for sexual abuse and harassment. A third party may report on behalf of a detainee.
PREA Coordinator: 651-267-2807
Hope Coalition: 1-800-519-6690
Red Wing Police / non-emergency: 651-385-3155
Work Release, Sentence to Serve and Other ADC Programs
The ADC is not only a holding facility. County pages describe work release, Sentence to Serve, educational, recreational, spiritual and treatment-related programming. Unit C is identified as part of the Special Management Area for work release and Sentence to Serve, and may also house people serving weekend sentences.
Program participation is not automatic and can depend on sentence, classification, approval, staffing and individual eligibility. Do not infer program eligibility from a roster status label alone.
Older Sheriff Reports and Court Files Use Different Records Offices
Sheriff Records Division
Law Enforcement Center
430 W. 6th St.
Red Wing, MN 55066
651-267-2600
Gcso.records@goodhuecountymn.gov
Current hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
The county says complainants or victims can receive a report copy without charge; a small fee applies to copies for other persons.
Court record
Use MCRO first for available public district-court cases, documents and hearings. For an official/certified local court record or something unavailable through MCRO, contact Goodhue County District Court at 651-267-4800.
A current jail roster is not a permanent archive of every former booking. For older custody/report questions, the Records Division or the court case may be more useful than searching a stale roster PDF.
Minnesota VINE, Minnesota DOC and Federal Custody Are Different Routes
Minnesota VINE
For county-jail custody notifications, Goodhue County lists Minnesota VINE at 1-877-664-8463. The service can provide custody-status and release notifications.
Minnesota DOC
Use after a state transfer or when the person is under Minnesota DOC jurisdiction. DOC says its incarcerated-individual search covers people committed to the Commissioner who are in prison or still under DOC supervision.
Federal BOP
Use only when a federal case, sentence or transfer makes federal custody plausible.

Use Goodhue County Jail Information Responsibly
- An arrest, booking entry, listed charge or inmate photograph is not proof of conviction.
- A warrant does not prove the person is currently incarcerated.
- A projected release date is not a guaranteed release time.
- A roster bail amount can change after court or jail action.
- Do not rely on a cached PDF or screenshot when current status matters.
- Do not use public custody information to harass, threaten, stalk, shame or misidentify a person.
- Use court records for the legal outcome and a licensed attorney for legal advice.
Goodhue County Jail Roster FAQs
How do I search the official Goodhue County jail roster?
Open the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Jail Roster page, open the current county PDF, check its generated date and time, then use the PDF Find function to search the legal surname. Compare intake date, arresting agency, bail, charge, status and case references before relying on a match.
What information appears on the Goodhue County roster?
The county roster report can show a photo, name, intake date, bail, arresting agency, listed charges, status and projected release date. The exact fields depend on the entry, and none should be treated as a final court judgment.
Can I rely on the roster for legal action?
No. Goodhue County expressly warns that the roster should not be relied on for legal action, may not be current, accurate or complete, and that true identity can only be confirmed through fingerprint comparison.
Why might a recently arrested person not appear?
Booking or fingerprint processing may still be underway, the public PDF may not yet reflect the event, the name may differ, or another county or agency may have custody. Reload the official roster and call the ADC at 651-267-2804 when the status is time-sensitive.
How do I verify a Goodhue County court date or filed charge?
Use Minnesota Court Records Online for public case, document and hearing information, then contact Goodhue County District Court at 651-267-4800 when official local confirmation or a record unavailable online is needed.
How do I verify a Goodhue County warrant?
Use the Sheriff’s official Warrant List as a starting point and call 651-267-2600 for verification. The Sheriff warns that an individual should not be arrested based solely on the online warrant-list information.
How does Goodhue County jail visitation work now?
The ADC has transitioned communication services from Securus to TurnKey. Visitors must re-register through Inmate Canteen, allow about 24 hours for approval, and then can use approved onsite or remote video visitation. Onsite video visits are free; remote visits are subject to fees.
How do I add money to a detainee account?
Goodhue County directs credit-card deposits to Inmate Canteen online/mobile and says credit-card and cash deposits are available at the blue Customer Service Kiosk in the ADC lobby. Confirm current custody and the account before paying.
What address should I use for Goodhue County detainee mail?
The current ADC page lists Goodhue County Adult Detention Center, detainee name, 430 W. 6th Street, Red Wing, MN 55066. Verify with the ADC before sending legal, irreplaceable or unusual material because the accessible public page does not publish every special-mail rule.
What should I use after someone transfers to Minnesota state custody?
Use the Minnesota Department of Corrections Search for Individuals and Fugitives page. DOC states that its incarcerated-individual search covers people committed to the Commissioner who are in prison or released from prison but still under DOC supervision. Minnesota Haven is the DOC notification route for people sentenced to state corrections.
