Find Lyon County Inmates

Lyon County Inmate Roster

The official Lyon County jail roster is a public custody report linked from the county jail roster page. The county states that the roster updates automatically every 12 hours. It is built for current local custody, not for every person with a criminal case, every person on probation, or every person in a state prison.

A roster entry can be a useful starting point when someone has been arrested by the Lyon County Sheriff, Marshall Police Department, Minneota Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol, or another agency shown on the list. It can also help connect custody status to a later MCRO case search, especially when a case number, citation number, or court date is available.

For sentenced Minnesota prison custody, use the Minnesota DOC public adult offender locator instead of the county jail roster.

The DOC locator helps separate state correctional custody from Lyon County Jail custody, which keeps the local roster from being misread as a statewide inmate index.

Search Lyon County Inmates

The county roster is a report rather than a full search form. The practical process is to open the official custody list, scan or browser-search the report, then verify court details through MCRO or the court administrator when a case record is needed.

1. Open the Current Lyon County Jail Roster.
2. Look for the person's last name, first name, and any middle name or initial shown in the report.
3. Review booking date and time, arresting agency, charges, and status.
4. If status shows Bail Set or Released Own PR, call the jail or court before assuming the record is final.
5. Use MCRO by case number or citation number when the roster charge appears to have a related court file.
6. Submit a sheriff data request for law-enforcement or jail data that is not shown publicly.

Lyon County Inmate Roster Fields

The inspected roster did not show a name-search form. It functions as a custody list with record fields. That makes the field inventory different from a searchable database, but the visible fields still answer common inmate-record questions.

Lyon County Inmate Profiles

The roster sample inspected on June 24, 2026 showed a compact custody list rather than a detailed profile page with mugshot, height, weight, housing unit, or date of birth. That should shape expectations. A reader may need court records, jail phone confirmation, or a data request for details that are not on the public roster.

Note: The roster is a custody snapshot, and final case outcomes belong in court records rather than jail roster text.

Lyon County Inmate Jail Contacts

Lyon County Jail is next to the courthouse and connected to the Law Enforcement Center on West Main Street in Marshall. The jail was constructed and began full operations in 2010. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a designed maximum capacity of 87 beds and an indirect podular layout.

The sheriff's data request page names Sheriff Eric Wallen as the responsible authority for sheriff data and Chief Deputy Todd Roelfsema as the data practices compliance official.

Lyon County Inmate Statewide Tools

Local jail custody is only one part of the custody picture. Lyon County links Minnesota State VINELink from the roster page for custody notification. The DOC public viewer covers adult offenders in state correctional systems. Public-notification registrant searches are separate again and should not be treated as a jail roster.

The Minnesota public registrant search is a separate public-notification tool.

Registrant search results should not be read as current Lyon County jail custody; use the jail roster or jail phone for current local custody.

The DOC's community notification page explains public notification context for certain registrants.

Community notification material can help explain public registrant status, while court records remain the source for charges, pleas, dispositions, and sentencing.

Lyon County Inmate Visitation

Visitation rules are detailed and local. Personal visits are not held on Monday, while professional visits are available every day during stated windows. Personal visits are about 30 minutes, two visits per inmate per day, with two people maximum per visit. Visitors must bring valid picture ID with current address.

Children under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian and need birth certificate or guardianship papers. A visitor incarcerated within the last 60 days needs permission from the Jail Administrator before visiting.

Lyon County Inmate Mail

Jail mail must use the inmate's name and the jail address. The research notes that outgoing envelopes may not include writing or drawings beyond the required address, and outgoing mail must clearly print the inmate's name. Jail staff will not accept collect calls or pass messages to inmates.

The inmate message system is (507) 401-4560, and messages are not confidential. Inmates may buy $10 and $20 phone cards from the jail or online at Reliance Telephone. Collect calls and texting can be set up through Reliance Telephone or by calling (800) 896-3201.

Lyon County Inmate Bail

Money may be dropped off day or night at the main entrance of the Lyon County Law Enforcement Center. During business hours, visitors proceed to the jail lobby. After hours, the beige phone in the first lobby is used. The jail lobby kiosk accepts deposits to the account selected by the depositor, but the county notes that it does not issue a receipt. It displays a transaction number.

Bail follows a time-of-day split. Between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., bail is posted at the Court Administrator's office on the 3rd floor of the courthouse. After normal business hours, bail may be posted at the front lobby of the jail by asking for the on-duty sergeant or correctional officer. Personal checks are not accepted for bail.

Lyon County Inmate Data Requests

Some inmate and booking records are not visible on the public roster. Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act controls sheriff and jail data release, and the sheriff's data request page provides the official request route. Requests should be specific about the name, date, booking event, report type, and contact information.

For case results, use Lyon County criminal court records or MCRO instead of asking the jail to determine the final outcome. For warrant-adjacent custody questions, the Lyon County warrant records route should be used with court, sheriff, and jail channels together.
