Lyon County Jail Roster

The official custody path starts on the Lyon County Jail Roster landing page, then opens the current Lyon County Jail roster report. The county says the roster is updated every 12 hours. Tracy Police, which routes its custody users to the same county roster, describes updates at 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. That twice-daily rhythm matters after a new arrest. A person booked between updates may not show until the next roster refresh, so the jail phone remains the best fallback for urgent status questions.

The Lyon County inmate roster is a static report. It is not a vendor portal with boxes for first name, last name, booking number, date, or facility. It does not show tabs, filters, pagination, a search button, or an export tool. The practical search method is to open the report and use the browser Find command for a last name, first name, partial spelling, arresting agency, or charge text. When names are common, the booking date, booking time, and arresting agency help separate people with similar names.

The roster covers the Lyon County Jail population in Marshall. It does not replace Minnesota court records, the state prison locator, a federal inmate locator, or an immigration detainee search. It is a local jail list for current custody and related statuses. For booking photos, the current roster capture used for this project did not show a public mugshot field or profile click-through; booking-photo details are handled on the Lyon County jail mugshots page.

The official current roster screenshot below comes from the Lyon County current custody report and shows the report-style format users must scan.

Because the roster is a plain report, the most accurate Lyon County inmate records workflow is browser find plus a careful read of each matching entry.

Use Lyon County Roster

The roster is free and public, with no login or payment gate noted in the research capture. Use it first when the person may be held at the Lyon County Jail after an arrest by the sheriff, Marshall Police, Tracy Police, Minneota Police, Minnesota State Patrol, or another agency that books into the county jail. If the arrest is very recent, the current report may lag behind intake.

1. Open the county roster landing page and choose the current roster report.
2. Use Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac to search a surname, first name, partial spelling, or charge term.
3. Check the full entry, not only the name. Match booking date, time, arresting agency, and status language.
4. If no match appears, wait for the next update or call Lyon County Jail at (507) 929-6623.
5. Use Minnesota VINE for custody notifications, MCRO for court case status, and MNDOC if the person may have moved to state prison.

Booking charge text on the roster is not the same thing as a final court charge or conviction. The prosecutor may file different charges, amend charges, or decline a case. For court records after booking, use Minnesota Court Records Online and Lyon County District Court records. For federal or immigration custody, use the federal systems instead of trying to force a match on the county jail roster.

Lyon County Search Fields

Lyon County inmate records have a useful quirk: there are no public roster search fields. This should prevent a common mistake. A user should not look for a hidden advanced search, booking-number search, or facility dropdown on the public report. The report itself is the search surface, and the browser Find tool is the filter.

For static reports, short searches work well. If a last name has multiple spellings, search the first few letters. If a name is common, search again for the first name or arresting agency. A status such as Bail Set, Hold Placed, Sentenced, Released Own PR, Time Served, or Chg Dismissed can help explain why a person remains listed or why release may have occurred.

Lyon County Inmate Fields

The public report is not a full jail file. It gives selected booking and custody details that the sheriff can post online, while medical, mental-health, financial, facility-security, and other private detention data stay off the roster. Minnesota Statutes section 13.85 classifies many corrections and detention records as private or confidential unless a statute, summary-data rule, arrest-data rule, or court record makes them public.

Several terms need plain meanings. PR or own recognizance means release on a promise to appear without a cash deposit. A hold or detainer means another agency or legal matter may block release. Time served means the sentence was satisfied by time already spent in custody. A booking charge is an intake allegation and may not match the final complaint filed in court.

Lyon County Jail Contact

The county facility tied to Lyon County inmate records is Lyon County Jail, operated by the Lyon County Sheriff's Office. It is connected to the Lyon County Law Enforcement Center and sits next to the county courthouse, so booking, jail records, bail handling, and court access are clustered in Marshall. Call the jail for current custody questions that the online roster does not answer, especially when a booking is too new for the next roster update.

The jail page identifies Brad Marks as Jail Administrator, Gabriel Figueroa as Administrative Sergeant, and Michael Sumerfelt as Program Sergeant. For general sheriff matters, the Lyon County Sheriff's Office is also at 611 West Main Street and lists the main law-enforcement phone as (507) 537-7666. In person, use the Law Enforcement Center address for jail questions rather than a city police office, since local agencies route post-arrest custody to the county jail.

Lyon County Jail Visits

The Lyon County jail policies page separates personal visits from professional visits. Personal visits do not require an appointment in the researched policy text, but rules are strict. Each inmate may have two visits per day, two people maximum per visit, with different visitors during visits and no switching. Adults need valid picture ID with a current address. A child under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian, and birth certificate or guardianship papers may be required.

Visits can be denied or stopped for lack of ID, false ID, intoxication, refusal to be searched, disruptive conduct, disruptive children, inappropriate attire, or failure to follow jail rules. The jail also restricts eating, drinking, cell-phone use, and passing materials in visiting rooms. A person incarcerated within the last 60 days needs Jail Administrator permission before visiting.

Lyon County Booking Process

Lyon County's jail materials describe a county jail that receives people directly after arrest, including people who may be angry, afraid, intoxicated, ill, or in crisis. After arrest or court commitment, the person is transported to the Law Enforcement Center. Jail staff verify legal authority, process identity information, secure property, complete search steps, and record booking details. The public roster may then show name, booking date and time, arresting agency, charge text, and status fields after the next update.

1. Arrest or court commitment starts the custody path.
2. Transport brings the person to Lyon County Jail in Marshall unless the person is cited and released.
3. Intake checks the warrant, commitment, hold, or other legal authority for custody.
4. Booking records the name, date, time, agency, and charge or hold information.
5. Classification and safety screening guide housing and jail management, though public roster capture did not show cell or pod assignment.
6. Phone and message access runs through the jail's message system and Reliance Telephone services.

Bail handling uses the jail and courthouse setting. During business hours, bail may be posted through Court Administration on the third floor of the courthouse. After hours, visitors go to the jail lobby and ask for the on-duty sergeant or correctional officer so paperwork can begin. No personal checks are accepted for bail under the jail policy.

Lyon County Records Requests

Some Lyon County inmate records are online, and some are not. For booking records, incident reports, jail data, or other sheriff records that do not appear on the roster, use the Lyon County Sheriff data-request page or contact the sheriff's office. The county explains that records can and cannot be released depending on the information requested and where a case is in its progression. That is a direct limit, not a technical problem with the roster.

Requests for a city-police report may belong with the arresting city agency rather than jail records. Marshall Police has its own data-practices process and records-release hours, while custody after arrest still routes to Lyon County Jail. Court documents are a separate channel through Minnesota Court Records Online and Lyon County District Court. Certified court copies must come from court administration, not the jail.

For jail records, ask for the specific item needed: booking record, arresting agency, charge/status details, release date, or public data connected to a named event. Avoid asking the jail to interpret charges, predict release, or provide legal advice. A status such as Hold Placed may depend on another agency or court order.

Lyon County Phone Mail Money

Mail to a person in custody should use the jail's address format: Lyon County Jail, C/O inmate name, 611 West Main Street, Marshall, MN 56258. The jail policy says outgoing envelopes may not have writing or drawings except required address information, and an inmate's name must be clearly printed. Materials may not be passed during visits except approved legal materials inspected by a correctional officer.

Confirm custody before sending money, mail, or setting up phone service. A person may have been released, transferred, or moved to another system after the roster entry was last updated. Vendor fees for online deposits were not located in the county policy capture, so no fee amount should be assumed from the jail roster alone.

Lyon County Custody Systems

The local roster is only one part of the Lyon County inmate records chain. A person arrested locally may start in county jail, appear in district court, later serve a local sentence, or be committed to the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Federal arrests and immigration custody use different agencies and may move a person outside Lyon County. Minnesota VINE adds notification, but it is not a full record search substitute.

No official Lyon County, Minnesota sheriff mobile app with an inmate roster, warrant search, or records portal was found in the county materials or app-store research. Search results found other Lyon County sheriff apps from outside Minnesota and a Marshall community app, but no app-only custody tool for this county.
