Dodge County Jail Population and Mugshots Online
Dodge County publishes its jail population page at dodgecountysheriff.org/jail-population. This is a well-built, real-time roster that updates continuously. The page explicitly states its purpose: "This page is designed for Jail Population and Bond Arraignment Information." The disclaimer also notes it is not to be used unlawfully, which is standard for public inmate rosters.
The roster offers several viewing and filtering options. You can look at all current inmates, filter to see just the past 24-hour arrests, or sort by arrest date. An optional name filter lets you search for a specific person. This is more flexible than most small county systems. Mugshots appear on the roster for current inmates, displayed alongside each person's booking details. The data shown includes the booking date, charges with Minnesota statute numbers, and bail amount.
Charges are listed with specific statute numbers, which helps you understand what each person is actually charged with. You can look up any statute on the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes site to get the full text of the law. The bail amount shown lets you see what bond has been set, which also reflects whether someone is still likely in custody or may have been released on bond.
For statewide searches, VINE covers Dodge County and most other Minnesota jails. You can use it to verify custody status or set up alerts. The MNDOC Offender Locator is for state prison inmates. Court records for Dodge County cases are searchable through the Minnesota Trial Court Public Access system. Dodge County is in the Third Judicial District.
Note: The Dodge County jail population page notes that all individuals listed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Requesting Dodge County Booking Photos
Mugshots shown on the jail population page are available to the public as part of the roster. If you need a booking photo that isn't currently on the live roster -- for example, from a past booking -- you'll need to contact the Sheriff's Office directly. Call (507) 635-6200 or visit at 22 6th Street East, Mantorville, MN 55955 during business hours.
Data requests are governed by the Minnesota Data Practices Act. Specifically, Minnesota Statute 13.82 and Minnesota Statute 13.85 apply to jail records in Dodge County. The Sheriff's website notes this explicitly. Inmate financial records and history cards are classified as private under M.S. 13.85. Booking photos and basic arrest data are generally public. Written requests may be required for historical records. The county must respond within 10 business days under Minnesota Statute 13.03. Standard copy fees apply. Contact the Minnesota Information Policy Division if you have issues getting a response.
Legal Framework for Dodge County Jail Records
The Dodge County Sheriff's website explicitly cites Minnesota statutes in its data classification notice. Minnesota Statute 13.82 covers arrest data and makes it public. Minnesota Statute 13.85 governs correctional data. Together, they define what is and isn't public from the county jail's records.
Inmate financial records and history cards at the Dodge County Jail are classified as private under M.S. 13.85. Basic booking data -- names, dates, charges, and booking photos -- is public under M.S. 13.82. This two-tier structure is common across Minnesota county jails. The data classification also means that some parts of a jail file are accessible to the public while others are restricted to the inmate themselves or their attorney.
The sheriff's general obligation to maintain a jail register comes from Minnesota Statute 641.05, which applies to all Minnesota county jails. Minnesota Statute 641.08 further defines what the public can access from sheriff and jail records. These statutes sit within the broader Minnesota Government Data Practices Act framework, which presumes that all government data is public unless a specific law classifies it otherwise.
