Redwood County Jail Mugshots Online
Redwood County has one of the more complete online custody systems among smaller Minnesota counties. The in-custody page at redwoodcounty-mn.us/in-custody lists all current inmates with their booking photos included. You can also access the roster directly at co.redwood.mn.us/jail/custody.html. The list shows photo, MNI number, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charges, and bail or bond status.
The roster is browse-only. You scroll through an alphabetical listing to find a specific person. There is no search field to type a name. However, once the page loads, you can use your browser's built-in find function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac) to search within the page quickly. The list updates daily, so it reflects bookings and releases from the prior day rather than real-time changes.

Minnesota Law and Redwood County Jail Records
Public access to Redwood County jail mugshots is governed by Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act. The key statute is Minnesota Statute 13.82, which defines arrest data as public. This covers names, charges, booking dates, and photographs in most situations. County jails operate under Minnesota Statute 641.05, which requires the sheriff to maintain a public jail register. Minnesota Statute 641.08 sets the rules for what the public can access from that register.
Once a person is sentenced and moved to a state prison, their records fall under Minnesota Statute 13.85, which governs correctional data separately. For court case records, the Minnesota Trial Court Public Access system covers Redwood County district court filings. Background checks with full criminal history are available from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at chs.state.mn.us for $8 per search. The state's Information Policy Division handles complaints about data request handling.
