Marshall County Jail Roster
The official starting point for Marshall County inmate records is the Marshall County Sheriff jail information page. The jail roster is embedded on that page under the "JAIL INFORMATION" heading. It is not a separate vendor search screen, and it does not ask the user to type a name into a county database. The page displays the current roster as a visible list with columns for inmate photo, incarceration date, held location, age, and charge. The captured roster showed entries held at Marshall County Jail with custody reasons such as warrant and sentence, along with charge text and statute references.
The roster is a current-custody tool, not a complete criminal history or a court docket. The sheriff's page says the roster is generally updated in the morning each day, that accuracy is not guaranteed, and that it should not be relied on for legal action. That matters in Marshall County because a person booked after the morning update may not appear yet, and a person released, transferred, or bonded out after the update may still require direct confirmation. For questions about who is in custody, the sheriff's office gives the jail information phone line as 218-745-5411.
The official sheriff page shows how the roster is presented on the county site.
Use that roster view for local jail custody first, then use the other channels below when the person is not listed or the record is incomplete.
Use Marshall County Inmate Records
Because the Marshall County jail roster is a static public list, the search method is simple but less flexible than a database roster. Start with the sheriff page and scan the visible entries. If the list is long, use the browser find command on the page for the last name. A mismatch can come from spelling, aliases, a recent booking, a release, a transfer to Pennington County, or a move to state, federal, or immigration custody. Do not treat a no-result roster check as proof that no arrest or custody event exists.
- Open the Marshall County Sheriff page and scroll to the jail information area.
- Use the visible list or browser find by surname, then compare the full name and age to avoid a false match.
- Read the row fields together: photo if shown, incarceration date, held location, age, custody reason, charge text, and any statute citation.
- Call 218-745-5411 when the booking is recent, a release may have occurred, a bond was posted, or the person may have been transferred.
- For a female Marshall County inmate or a boarded inmate, contact Pennington County Corrections at 218-416-7097 if the Marshall County route does not confirm custody.
- Use MCRO for court-filed charges and hearing dates, because the jail roster does not show the full district court case.
Marshall County also provides a citizen request form that can be routed to the Sheriff. Use it for a public-record request when the online roster and phone confirmation do not answer the question. Select Sheriff from the department list, identify the person and date as clearly as possible, and ask for the specific public data needed, such as booking record, arrest data, or a booking photograph if one is not visible online.
Marshall County Roster Fields
The roster does not have name boxes, booking-number search, or a facility dropdown. Its search-field inventory is really a list of what the sheriff page displays and how a reader can work with it. The lack of a form makes the county phone line more important than it would be on a vendor roster with filters, release alerts, and profile pages.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No search form on official county page | Static roster/list | Not applicable | Use browser find by last name; the list is visible on the sheriff page. |
| INMATE PHOTO | Roster column | Not applicable | A photo may appear for some entries, but not every text-captured entry showed one. |
| INCARCERATION DATE | Roster column | Not applicable | Observed date format was month/day/year. |
| HELD | Roster column | Not applicable | Marshall County Jail was observed as the held location. |
| AGE | Roster column | Not applicable | Age appears in years. |
| CHARGE | Roster column | Not applicable | Can include charge text, warrant or sentence status, and Minnesota statute citations. |
Marshall County Record Contents
Marshall County inmate records on the public roster are lean. They help confirm that a person is likely in jail and show the basic reason for custody, but they do not show every detail a court, attorney, family member, or bonding contact may need. Bond amount, court date, booking number, housing unit, arresting agency, date of birth, address, medical data, and detailed housing information were not visible in the roster text capture. Those gaps are not errors. They show the boundary between a public roster and other official records.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | Uppercase name, usually in last-name, first-name, middle-name style when available. |
| Photo | A public booking photo may appear beside some inmates on the current roster. |
| Incarceration date | The date the person was incarcerated or booked into the custody record. |
| Held | The facility holding the person, observed as Marshall County Jail. |
| Age | The person's age in years. |
| Charge or custody reason | Warrant, sentence, hold notes, or offense descriptions may appear. |
| Statute citation | Minnesota statute or charge code can appear in braces after some charges. |
| Roster update note | The sheriff page states the roster is generally updated in the morning and is not guaranteed accurate. |
For court-filed charges, use Minnesota Court Records Online Case Search and select Marshall County when that helps narrow results. MCRO is the better source for complaint documents, Register of Actions entries, hearing dates, amended charges, dismissed charges, and dispositions. For custody status alone, the jail roster and the sheriff phone line remain the faster first check.
Marshall County Access Chain
The correct search path depends on where the person is in the custody system. Marshall County Jail handles local arrestees, warrants, short local sentences, and some holds. Pennington County may hold female Marshall County inmates. MNDOC covers sentenced state prison custody and supervision. BOP and ICE cover separate federal systems. VINE and Minnesota Haven help with notices, but they are not the final custody source.
Custody routing: County roster for local jail custody; Pennington County for female or boarded Marshall County inmates; MNDOC for sentenced state custody; BOP for federal inmates; ICE for immigration detention; VINE or Minnesota Haven for notifications.
Use the MNDOC public locator when a Marshall County case has led to a state prison sentence or when the person has been released from prison but remains under DOC supervision. MNDOC says newly sentenced people may take several business days to display. Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator for federal prison records from 1982 to the present. Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detention, especially when an A-number, country of birth, and birth date are known. Use Minnesota VINE for custody status notifications, and use Minnesota Haven for sentenced DOC custody notifications.
No Marshall County sheriff mobile app with a jail roster feature was documented in the research. The official web roster, 218-745-5411, the in-person sheriff and jail counter at 208 E Colvin Avenue, the citizen request form, MNDOC, MCRO, BOP, ICE, and VINE are the supported access chain.
Marshall County Jail Contacts
Two facilities matter for Marshall County inmate records. The first is the Marshall County Jail in Warren, operated by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office. The second is the Pennington County Law Enforcement Center / Correctional Facility in Thief River Falls, because Pennington County's own sheriff source states it holds all female Marshall County inmates and also boards inmates from nearby counties. A current custody check can require both offices when the roster is unclear.

Use for female Marshall County inmates or boarded inmates when Marshall County custody is not confirmed locally.
The Pennington County sheriff news page is the official source tying that facility to female Marshall County inmates.
That source is why a Marshall County inmate search should not stop after one negative result on the local roster.
Marshall County Booking Records
Booking is the jail intake event that creates the custody record. Minnesota Rule 2911.2525, quoted in the Marshall County jail inspection research, requires local jails to have written admissions policies covering legal authority for detention, emergency medical information, search and property inventory, medical and mental-health screening, phone calls before housing assignment, clothing and hygiene issue, booking photo, fingerprints, identifying information, classification, and housing assignment. A booking number is part of that intake process, although the public Marshall County roster did not show booking numbers in the captured record fields.
A typical Marshall County arrest can move through several steps: arrest by a deputy, local police, state patrol, or warrant authority; transport to Marshall County Jail or another holding jail; booking and screening; outgoing phone opportunity; roster appearance after the county update; and first court appearance through Minnesota district court. The roster may show the arrest-related charge or warrant language, while MCRO later shows court-filed charges. Those may differ because the prosecutor decides what formal complaint to file.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest or transfer.
- Warrant
- A court or law enforcement authority to arrest or hold a person.
- Sentence
- Confinement ordered after conviction or other court disposition.
- Detainer
- A request or notice from another agency seeking continued custody or transfer.
- DOC
- Minnesota Department of Corrections, the state prison and supervision agency.
Marshall County Visit Rules
Marshall County's official page gives phone, messaging, and vendor details, but it does not publish a full in-person visitation calendar, mail rule sheet, dress code, visitor approval process, child visitor rule, attorney visit schedule, commissary limit, deposit fee table, or holiday schedule in the located source. Because the jail had a recent closure, remodel context, and reopening notice, visitors should verify the current schedule before travel or before setting up video visits.
| Topic | Official Detail Found | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published in located county source | Call 218-745-5411 before travel. |
| Video visitation | Sheriff page links inmate books or video visitation to Inmate Canteen | Use the vendor only after confirming custody and active schedule. |
| Visitor approval | Not published in located county source | Ask the jail what approval, ID, and age rules apply. |
| Mail address format | Not published in located county source | Confirm the current mail format before sending items. |
| Phone calls | Outgoing inmate calls only; incoming inmate calls are not accepted | Use the inmate message line, 218-416-1140, and follow prompts. |
| Phone or wallet funds | Reliance Telephone is linked for Marshall County Corrections | Call 218-745-5411 before sending funds if custody is uncertain. |
| Books and commissary | Inmate Canteen is linked for inmate books and video visitation | Do not mail books, packages, stamps, or cash unless the facility confirms rules. |
For Pennington County, the research captured corrections phone 218-416-7097, inmate voicemail line 218-416-1120, and the Thief River Falls address. Pennington also links Inmate Canteen and publishes boarding-fee context for other counties, but those boarding fees are not visitor deposit instructions. A family member should treat them as facility finance context, not as a payment amount for release, commissary, or video visits.
Note: Confirm custody and facility location before a visit, money deposit, video visit, or mail item because Marshall County inmates may be boarded elsewhere.
