Le Sueur County Jail Roster

The official local path starts with the Le Sueur County Jail Roster page, which points to the live FirstCloudIT custody roster for the Le Sueur County Jail. The roster is maintained for the county jail operated by the Le Sueur County Sheriff's Office, not for every jail, prison, court, or hold system that may touch a case. It is a public custody list with a timestamp at the top, so the first question is not only whether a name appears, but when that roster snapshot was generated.

Le Sueur County inmate records on the public roster are concise. They show photo, MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charge information, and bail or bond details. They do not show a full jail file, housing unit, arresting agency, court date, judge, attorney, home address, date of birth, or full physical description. For a photo-focused explanation of the image column, use the Le Sueur County jail mugshots page when a booking-photo issue is the main question.

The live custody roster itself is the best visual example of the local record format.

The screenshot shows why the roster must be read as a row-by-row custody list rather than a search form or full case file.

Use the Le Sueur County Roster

The Le Sueur County custody page is not a modern form database. The research snapshot found no visible text boxes, dropdowns, date pickers, submit buttons, reset buttons, advanced filters, tabs, pagination, export controls, account prompts, or registration screen. The practical way to search is to open the page, check the custody timestamp, then use browser find for the name or identifier. This matters because a missed spelling, delayed booking entry, or release from custody can make a simple name scan look like no record exists.

1. Start at the county jail roster landing page or open the FirstCloudIT custody roster directly.
2. Check the roster timestamp before relying on the result. It shows when the custody list was last generated.
3. Use browser find for the last name. If needed, try the first name, MNI, booking number, charge word, or statute number.
4. Read the full row. Le Sueur County roster fields are packed together, including photo, identity fields, intake time, charges, and bail or bond.
5. Read status terms before treating a charge as a conviction. COURT/PENDING, SENTENCED, HOLD FOR ANOTHER AGENCY, and BOND/BAIL SET can mean different next steps.
6. Call the jail or use Sheriff Records if the person is not listed and the custody stage is unclear.

Do not assume a missing name means there was no arrest. A newly booked person may not yet appear, a released person may have dropped from the current roster, a sentenced felony prisoner may have transferred to Minnesota Department of Corrections custody, and a federal or immigration matter may sit outside the county roster entirely.

Le Sueur County Roster Fields

The roster's search fields are unusual because the public page does not provide fields in the usual sense. Instead, the page is a static custody table that can be searched with the browser. That is still useful. The table text includes names, MNI values, booking numbers, charge descriptions, statute numbers, and bail or bond wording, which makes browser find a practical local lookup method.

Because the public roster is a snapshot, the Le Sueur County jail information line remains important. Call 507-419-0321 before making a trip for bond, visitation, mail, or money if the roster entry has changed or the person is not shown.

Le Sueur County Inmate Record Details

A Le Sueur County inmate record on the public roster is a booking summary, not a full criminal-history report. The booking number identifies the jail stay. The MNI helps distinguish people with similar names. The intake date marks when the jail accepted the person into custody. Charge lines can include statute numbers and plain charge text, but those booking charges may change when the County Attorney files formal court charges. For court-filed documents and case events after booking, check court records after a jail arrest rather than relying only on the roster row.

Le Sueur County Booking Process

Le Sueur County does not publish a full jail booking manual, but the official roster and state inspection material show the public parts of the process. A person arrested by the Sheriff's Office, a city police department, or another agency serving a warrant can be transported to the Le Sueur County Jail at the Justice Center. Jail staff create or update the local identity record, assign or use an MNI, enter a booking number, record intake date and time, list charges or holds, and create the public roster entry.

Booking can also include a photo, fingerprinting, property handling, medical screening, orientation, and classification. The 2025 Minnesota DOC inspection noted that the facility was updating intake medical-screen and orientation documentation practices. Those internal forms are not the same as the public roster. Classification and housing are also not published on the public custody list, even though the jail must operate under Minnesota Rule Chapter 2911 standards for local adult detention facilities.

Booking

The jail intake event where a person is entered into custody.

First appearance

An early court hearing where release terms and next court dates may be addressed.

A bond or bail amount tied to court-ordered release conditions.

Request Le Sueur County Jail Records

The public roster is not the whole jail record. When a booking record, report, booking photo, or older custody detail is not shown online, the records request path runs through the Le Sueur County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office Records page says records staff maintain criminal history, investigative reports, and criminal files for the Sheriff's Office, and that access to incident reports depends on incident status and the requester's involvement.

Use the county data request form when the roster does not answer the question. Identify the person, case number if known, incident or intake date, and the exact data requested. Requests can be emailed to Records@lesueurcounty.gov, faxed to 507-357-8611, mailed, or dropped off at the Sheriff's Office. The form reserves up to 10 days for a response, and the county data-practices policy describes a general 10-business-day response window, with longer fulfillment possible for requests that require staff review or separation of public from not-public data.

The Sheriff's Records page is the county source for report access limits and request routing.

That records channel is the correct fallback for public jail data that is not published in the current roster table.

Note: Fees can change by county schedule, so confirm the current fee list before ordering copies, photos, or digital media.

County, DOC, Federal, and ICE Records

The Le Sueur County jail roster covers local jail custody. It is the right place for adult pretrial detainees, locally sentenced jail inmates, bond or bail set entries, and holds for other agencies while the person is physically listed at the county jail. It is not the right tool for a person committed to state prison after felony sentencing, a federal prisoner, a U.S. Marshals detainee, or a person held in immigration custody after transfer.

The Minnesota DOC locator warns that newly sentenced people may take several business days to appear after commitment.

That delay is why a person may disappear from the Le Sueur County roster before a DOC search clearly shows the new prison or supervision record.

Le Sueur County Jail Contact

The only local detention facility identified in official sources is the Le Sueur County Jail. It is operated by the Le Sueur County Sheriff's Office at the Justice Center in Le Center. The county jail page describes the jail as operating under Minnesota Department of Corrections licensing guidelines, and the state inspection materials identify it as a secure coed local adult detention facility. Use the jail phone for custody questions that need a current answer, and use Sheriff Records for copies, reports, and public data requests.

Le Sueur County Visitation Records

Visitation is not an inmate-record lookup, but it often depends on the roster result. Confirm custody first, then check the county visitation rules. The official rules require photo ID, bar visitors under the influence of drugs or alcohol, allow disruptive behavior to end or deny a visit, bar visitors who have been Le Sueur County inmates within the last six months, and prohibit food, beverages, and electronic devices in the visitation room. Visitors under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian.

The county visitation page publishes the day visitation windows and links video visitation to Inmate Canteen.

Those rules should be checked before traveling because the roster does not show visitor approval, lockdowns, or schedule changes.

Le Sueur County Mail and Money

Mail and money details are separate from the roster, but the inmate name and custody status should be confirmed before anything is sent. Mail should be addressed to Le Sueur County Jail, inmate's name, 435 E Derrynane Street, STE 1100, Le Center, MN 56057. The county says every item is at jail staff discretion, nonlisted items are not accepted, and suspected contraband received by U.S. Mail is returned to sender. Cash or money orders are the only items accepted without USPS under the published mail rules.

The jail does not take messages for inmates. The inmate message system is 507-216-4906. Inmates may buy phone cards through canteen for $10.69 including tax, friends and family may use Reliance Telephone, and collect calling setup is listed at 800-896-3201. Web deposits are routed through Inmate Canteen. No official sheriff mobile app was found, so do not rely on an app-only jail roster, records portal, or warrant search for Le Sueur County.
