Start With the Goodhue County Jail Roster—Not a “Red Wing City Jail” Directory
For an adult local-custody search in Red Wing, the official starting point is the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office jail roster for the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center (ADC). Red Wing Police may be the arresting agency, but the county-operated ADC is the local adult detention facility.
Use the roster to check current custody and booking information, then switch to the court, warrant list, Sheriff’s Records Unit, Minnesota DOC or the federal locator when your question is no longer about current Goodhue County jail custody.
Red Wing Has More Than One Custody System—Use the One That Matches the Question
A search for “Red Wing jail roster” can point to two very different systems. The county ADC handles local adult jail custody, while Minnesota Correctional Facility–Red Wing (MCF-RW) is a Minnesota Department of Corrections facility at 1079 Highway 292 that includes a juvenile residential operation and a separate adult minimum-security unit.
Goodhue County Adult Detention Center
Use this for current local adult jail custody, recent intake shown on the county roster, bail questions, county-jail visits, detainee mail, money and jail communication.
Address: 430 W. 6th St., Red Wing, MN 55066
Minnesota Correctional Facility–Red Wing
Use Minnesota DOC resources when the person has been committed to the Commissioner of Corrections or transferred into state custody. Do not use the county jail roster to search the MCF-Red Wing population.
Address: 1079 Highway 292, Red Wing, MN 55066 · 651-267-3600
Which official source answers which question?
| Question | Best official source | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person in local jail custody? | Goodhue County Jail Roster | County custody snapshot linked by the Sheriff’s Office. |
| Is there a Goodhue County warrant? | Goodhue County Warrant List | A warrant is separate from present jail custody. |
| What is happening in the criminal case? | Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO) and Goodhue District Court | Court records—not the jail roster—control case filings, hearings and dispositions. |
| I need an incident or Sheriff record. | Goodhue County Sheriff Records | The Records Unit maintains Sheriff-generated reports and paperwork. |
| I need a Red Wing Police record. | Red Wing Police Department | The arresting/incident agency can differ from the jail custodian. |
| The person may be in state custody. | Minnesota DOC Individual Search | DOC search covers people committed to the Commissioner and still under DOC jurisdiction. |
| The person may be in federal custody. | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | Federal custody is not shown on the Goodhue County roster. |
How to Search the Red Wing Jail Roster
The county’s public roster route opens a Goodhue County Jail Roster Report. The report is a custody document, not a background-check database and not a complete archive of everyone ever arrested in Red Wing.
Open the county roster page
Start from the Goodhue County Sheriff’s official Jail Roster page, then open the roster report. This keeps you on the county source instead of a copied mugshot or people-search page.
Check the report’s “Current as of” time
The roster report carries its own generation timestamp. Read that timestamp before treating the entry as current. Do not use an old downloaded PDF or screenshot to claim someone is still incarcerated.
Search the legal name carefully
Use your PDF viewer or browser’s Find function. Start with the last name, then compare the full name and intake information. If the spelling may differ, try a shortened name or known variation rather than assuming no record exists.
Read the whole booking entry
Compare the intake date, arresting agency, charge text, status, bail and any projected release field. A matching name alone is not enough to confirm identity.
Verify the action you plan to take
Call the ADC before paying bail, driving to the facility, relying on a release time or mailing funds. Use the court for the case outcome and hearing details.
What the Goodhue County Roster Fields Can—and Cannot—Tell You
The roster report format reviewed for this guide displayed name, intake date, bail, arresting agency, charges, status and a projected release date field when applicable. Treat those fields as a jail-custody snapshot, not a final criminal-history record.
| Roster field | Useful meaning | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Name | The name under which the person is listed in the jail report. | That a name match alone proves identity. |
| Intake Date | The date associated with entry into the ADC for that custody event. | That it is the exact arrest time or court filing date. |
| Bail | A bail amount shown with the jail entry at report generation. | That payment is currently permitted, no hold exists, or release will be immediate. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency connected with the arrest, warrant or custody event. | That the arresting agency operates the jail or owns every related record. |
| Charges | Charge or warrant text associated with the booking record. | That the charge is a conviction, final count or final court outcome. |
| Status | A jail-side custody/process label such as court pending, bail set, hold or sentenced status when shown. | That the label explains every court order, detainer or release condition. |
| Projected Rls Date | A projected release field when the report contains one. | That the person will leave the jail at that exact time or date. |
Recent Bookings, Releases and Custody Notifications
The Goodhue County roster is best treated as a current-custody report, not a permanent history of every Red Wing arrest. A very recent intake may not yet be reflected in the report you opened, while a person who has been released or transferred may no longer appear the way an older screenshot suggests.
Recent booking
Check the report’s generation timestamp and the listed intake date. Goodhue County does not publish a guaranteed number of minutes or hours for every new booking to appear, so call the ADC when same-day confirmation matters.
Release
A projected release field is not a promise of the final release time. Court orders, holds, warrants, transfers and processing can change what happens next. Verify with the jail before arranging pickup or travel.
County-jail notifications
The ADC links Minnesota VINE for custody-status information and notifications. Minnesota DOC separately explains that VINE is used for county-jail release notification, while Minnesota Haven is for people sentenced to DOC custody.
Minnesota VINE phone: 1-877-664-8463. Do not rely on an automated notification as the only safety measure if you believe you may be at risk.
If the Person Is Not on the Red Wing / Goodhue County Roster
Do not interpret “not found” as proof that there was no arrest or court case. Goodhue County does not publish a fixed delay that guarantees when every new booking will appear online, so use the reason-and-next-step path below.
| Problem | Possible explanation | Next action | Official verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very recent arrest | Intake or online-report generation may not yet reflect the event. | Do not guess a wait time; call the jail if the answer is urgent. | ADC/Jail Division 651-267-2800. |
| Name not found | Spelling, middle name, hyphenation or another name may differ. | Search carefully by surname and known variations. | County roster + jail line. |
| Person was arrested but disappeared from roster | Release, transfer, court action or another custodian may have changed the status. | Check the court and ask the jail about current custody. | ADC + Goodhue District Court. |
| You found a warrant but no jail entry | A warrant does not mean the person has been arrested. | Keep warrant verification separate from custody lookup. | Sheriff warrant list / 651-267-2600. |
| Person was sentenced to state corrections | The person may now be under Minnesota DOC jurisdiction. | Search the DOC individual locator. | Minnesota DOC. |
| “Red Wing” result points to Highway 292 | You may be looking at MCF-Red Wing, not the county ADC. | Use DOC resources for MCF-RW. | Minnesota DOC facility / individual search. |
| Federal case or transfer | Federal custody is outside the county jail roster. | Search the BOP locator. | Federal Bureau of Prisons. |
| Juvenile matter | Goodhue ADC says juveniles are transported to specialized facilities and are not held in the adult ADC. | Do not use the adult county roster as a complete juvenile locator. | Responsible court/county agency; MCF-RW juvenile status is a separate DOC system. |
Bail, Court Dates and the Goodhue County Case Record
Verify bail before paying
Goodhue County’s ADC page links to its remote bail payment route for people in custody and for posted warrant bond amounts. The payment page identifies Goodhue County Sheriff and calculates a service fee.
Payment does not equal immediate release
Release can still depend on court orders, warrants, holds, identity checks and jail processing. Confirm the current amount and whether another agency has a hold before paying.
Contact the issuing court after warrant bond
The county warns that a person bailed on a warrant must contact the court that issued the warrant to establish a court date and provide current contact information.
Goodhue County District Court
The Goodhue County Justice Center is at 454 West Sixth Street, Red Wing, MN 55066. The court phone is 651-267-4800, with published business hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. It is part of Minnesota’s First Judicial District and handles criminal and traffic cases filed in Goodhue County along with other district-court case types.
Goodhue County Warrants Are Not the Same as Jail Custody
The Sheriff’s Office publishes a separate Goodhue County warrant list. The county specifically warns that wanted individuals should not be arrested based solely on the online list and tells users to call 651-267-2600 for warrant verification or to provide information.
A person may have a listed warrant and still have no current ADC roster entry. Conversely, a person can be in the jail for a new charge, sentence, hold or another jurisdiction’s matter without the county warrant list being the reason for custody.
Red Wing Mugshots: What the Public Roster Shows and How to Request Records
The Goodhue County roster report inspected for this guide did not present a dedicated booking-photo field in the report layout. Do not assume a third-party “mugshot” page is the county’s official roster.
Minnesota Statutes section 13.82 generally classifies booking photographs as public data, while allowing a law-enforcement agency to temporarily withhold a booking photograph if release would adversely affect an active investigation. Availability in a particular request can still depend on the record and applicable law.
Goodhue County Sheriff records
The Sheriff Records Division maintains reports and paperwork generated by the Sheriff’s Office. The county provides an online data-request form; inspection is free, while copies may carry charges under the county’s data-access policy.
Records: 651-267-2600 · Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Records Sergeant: 651-267-2603
Email: Gcso.records@goodhuecountymn.gov
Red Wing Police records
If the Red Wing Police Department created the incident record, use the city police department rather than assuming the county jail owns every report. Red Wing Police is also located at the Goodhue County Law Enforcement Center.
Police: 651-385-5150
24/7 dispatch: 651-385-3155
Visitation, Calls, Email and Text at Goodhue County ADC
Goodhue County says the ADC transitioned its communication services from Securus to Turnkey. Visitors must re-register and create new visitation sessions through the Turnkey/Inmate Canteen system. The county asks users to allow approximately 24 hours for registration approval.
| Service | Current county guidance | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| On-site video visits | Free of charge; visitation area is on the second floor of the Law Enforcement Center lobby. | Elevator available; county says the area is accessible to people with disabilities. |
| Remote video visits | Available through the communication system and subject to fees. | Check the vendor screen for current charges before scheduling. |
| Weekday hours | Monday–Friday: 8:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–3:00 p.m. | Holiday closures can apply. |
| Evening hours | Monday and Wednesday: 6:30–8:30 p.m. | Confirm current availability after account approval. |
| Saturday hours | 1:00–3:00 p.m. | No Sunday public visiting block is listed on the county page reviewed. |
| Phone calls | Detainees can make collect or debit calls during regular out-of-cell periods. | Jail staff do not take messages by phone to pass to detainees. |
| Email / text | County directs families to Inmate Canteen for email, text, video and communication options. | Use the current vendor account, not old Securus instructions. |
Mail, Detainee Funds and Commissary Access
Mailing address
Goodhue County Adult Detention Center
[Name of Detainee]
430 W. 6th Street
Red Wing, MN 55066
The county page says the ADC will not accept pre-stamped return envelopes or stamps, photocopies of any kind, or computer printouts. Check the live jail page before sending anything because mail rules can change.
Funds and deposits
Credit-card deposits are available online through Inmate Canteen. The ADC also has a blue Customer Service Kiosk in the lobby that accepts credit-card and cash deposits.
For funds sent by mail, the county page says personal checks are not accepted and lists money orders, certified bank or teller checks, and cash as accepted forms. Because mailed cash is difficult to trace, confirm the current rule with the ADC before sending it.
Health Services, Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing Access and PREA Reporting
Health services
The ADC says it contracts with Advanced Correctional Healthcare. Nursing staff is available five days a week from 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.; a physician visits one day a week and a mental-health professional one day a week.
For an immediate emergency, use 911. For facility-specific questions, use the ADC contact rather than assuming medical staff can disclose private health information to family members.
Communication access
Goodhue County says deaf and hard-of-hearing detainees are provided auxiliary aids and services such as ASL interpreters, video relay/video remote interpreting, videophones and texting as appropriate, without charge to the detainee.
Questions can be directed to the ADC contact listed by the county at 651-267-2807.
PREA reports
The ADC publishes a zero-tolerance PREA policy. A person may report an allegation on behalf of a detainee to the PREA Coordinator at 651-267-2807, the Goodhue County Hope Coalition at 1-800-519-6690, or Red Wing Police/dispatch at 651-385-3155.
MCF-Red Wing, Minnesota DOC, VINE and Federal Custody
Goodhue County ADC
Use for current local adult custody in the county jail.
Minnesota DOC
The DOC individual search covers people committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction.
VINE vs. Minnesota Haven
Minnesota DOC explains that VINE is used for county-jail release notification, while Minnesota Haven is the notification system for people sentenced to DOC custody.
Bureau of Prisons
Use the BOP locator for federal inmates. A “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody” result does not rule out custody in another system.
MCF-Red Wing is a separate facility
Minnesota DOC lists MCF-Red Wing at 1079 Highway 292, Red Wing, MN 55066, phone 651-267-3600. The facility operates a juvenile residential program and also has a separate adult minimum-security unit. Do not use Goodhue County’s ADC visitation, mail or money instructions for someone housed at MCF-Red Wing.

Red Wing Jail Roster FAQ
What is the official Red Wing jail roster?
For local adult jail custody in Red Wing, use the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office Jail Roster for the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center. It is the county custody source, not a separate Red Wing city-jail database.
Does Red Wing have a separate city jail?
The official county sources identify the local adult detention facility as the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center, operated by the Sheriff. Red Wing Police may make arrests and shares the Law Enforcement Center address, but use the Goodhue County roster for local adult custody.
What information does the Goodhue County jail roster show?
The roster report format reviewed for this guide showed the person’s name, intake date, bail, arresting agency, charges, status and a projected release date field when applicable. The exact live report can change, so read the current county PDF.
Why can’t I find someone who was just arrested in Red Wing?
The booking may still be processing or the roster report may not yet reflect the event. Goodhue County does not publish a guaranteed online posting delay, so call the ADC/Jail Division at 651-267-2800 when same-day custody confirmation matters.
Does a Goodhue County warrant mean the person is in jail?
No. The Sheriff publishes a warrant list separately from the jail roster. A warrant can exist without current incarceration. For warrant verification, the county directs users to the Sheriff’s Office at 651-267-2600.
How do I verify a Red Wing court date or criminal case?
Use Minnesota Court Records Online and Goodhue County District Court. Note that MCRO says pending criminal cases cannot be found by defendant-name search; use a case number, citation number, attorney information or contact the court when needed.
How do I get a Red Wing booking photo or mugshot?
The county roster report inspected for this guide did not display a dedicated photo field. Minnesota law generally treats booking photographs as public data, subject to a temporary active-investigation withholding exception. Use the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Records/data-request process or the record-owning police agency.
How do visits work at Goodhue County ADC?
The ADC currently uses Turnkey/Inmate Canteen and says visitors must create or re-create accounts under that system. The county asks users to allow about 24 hours for registration approval. On-site video visiting is free; remote video visits are fee-based. Check the live ADC page for current hours before visiting.
How can I send money to someone at the Red Wing county jail?
Goodhue County lists credit-card deposits through Inmate Canteen and credit-card/cash deposits at the blue lobby kiosk. The county also publishes rules for mailed funds. Confirm current custody and the latest deposit instructions before sending money.
When should I use Minnesota DOC instead of the Red Wing jail roster?
Use Minnesota DOC when the person may have been committed to state corrections, transferred to a Minnesota correctional facility or is still under DOC jurisdiction. This is especially important in Red Wing because MCF-Red Wing is a separate state facility from the Goodhue County ADC.

Use public jail information responsibly. An arrest, booking, charge or booking photograph is not proof of guilt. Court records control legal outcomes. Do not use custody information to harass, threaten, stalk or target another person, and do not rely on an old roster screenshot as proof of current incarceration.
