Verify the Inmate, Court and Payment Route Before You Act
The official Scott County roster is the correct starting point for someone held at the jail in Shakopee. It should not be confused with Scott County jail websites in Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky or other states.
Use this guide to check custody, understand the booking record, verify bail and court dates, schedule visits, send mail or money and handle medication, property, community release and urgent safety concerns.
Choose the Scott County Jail Task You Need
Custody, court, bail, visits, phone service, messages and commissary use different records and accounts. Open only the section that matches your current task.
Confirm You Need Scott County, Minnesota
Search results frequently mix Scott County, Minnesota with counties of the same name in Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and other states.
| Check | Correct Minnesota detail | Wrong-result warning |
|---|---|---|
| Facility city | Shakopee, Minnesota | A result showing Davenport, Georgetown or an Indiana statute is another state. |
| Facility address | 301 Fuller Street South | Do not fund an account until the facility name and city match. |
| Jail telephone | 952-496-8314 | Do not use a number copied from an advertisement or another county. |

Payment protection: never select an inmate or enter card information until “Scott County Jail, Shakopee, Minnesota” is clearly shown.

How to Search the Scott County Jail Roster
Start From the Official Minnesota County Page
Open the Scott County government roster page rather than a commercial mugshot page or another state’s Scott County roster.
Search the Legal Last Name
Start with the last name, then compare the first and middle names. Try maiden names, hyphenated names, aliases and suffixes when necessary.
Compare the Full Roster Entry
Review the MNI, age, sex, booking number, intake date, charges and bail or bond information instead of relying on a photograph or name alone.
Record the Booking and Case Clues
Save the booking number, charge description and any visible case or citation information before opening the Minnesota court system.
Verify Bail and Court Separately
The roster is a custody record. Use Jail Administration for bail and Minnesota Court Records Online for filings, hearings and case outcomes.
Refresh Before Taking Action
Recheck the roster before paying, visiting, mailing, depositing money or arranging transportation because custody can change quickly.
After reviewing the steps, open the official Scott County Jail Roster.
What Scott County Roster Fields Mean
| Field | Useful for | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| MNI | Matching the person’s master-name record. | It is the court case number. |
| Name, sex and age | Separating similar-name results. | One matching field proves identity. |
| Booking number | Identifying the specific jail intake. | It remains useful after transfer to another agency. |
| Intake date | Confirming the approximate booking event. | It is the arrest or hearing time. |
| Charge | Understanding the listed custody reason. | It is a conviction or final filed charge. |
| Bail or bond | Starting a release inquiry. | Payment clears every case or hold. |
| Photograph | Supporting an identity comparison. | An old or copied image proves current custody. |
Arrest is not conviction: use the roster for custody verification. Use Minnesota court records for filed charges, dismissals, pleas, judgments and sentencing.
What to Do When Someone Is Not Listed
No-Result Troubleshooter
- Search by last name only.
- Try former names, aliases, maiden names and alternate spellings.
- Allow time for transport, fingerprinting and intake.
- Confirm the arresting agency and exact county.
- Search Minnesota court records for a case without custody.
- Check Minnesota DOC after sentencing or transfer.
- Check federal custody when a federal hold may apply.
- Call 952-496-8314 when custody, bail or safety is urgent.
No result does not prove release. The person may be processing, at court, in medical care, transferred or held by another agency.
Scott County Bail, Bond and Scam Protection
Bail may be accepted in the jail lobby or through Access Corrections when the online record presents a “Pay Bond” option. Scott County lists cash and credit card as accepted forms.
Before Paying Bail
- Call 952-496-8314 with the full name and date of birth.
- Confirm the current total.
- Ask whether every charge permits release.
- Ask whether probation, parole, another county or federal holds exist.
- Confirm whether lobby payment or online payment is appropriate.
- Review vendor and card fees.
- Save the receipt and confirmation number.
- Ask whether the jail has received release authorization.
- Do not arrange pickup until staff confirms release processing.
Official scam alert: the Sheriff’s Office says it will never call demanding payment from someone connected to a person in custody or recently released. Hang up and call the published jail number yourself.
Bail Verification Call Script
“I am checking bail for [full legal name], date of birth [date]. Is the amount current, are there additional cases or holds, what payment route is approved, and will payment make the person eligible for release?”
Use the official Scott County Bail and Bond page after gathering the identifying details.
