Le Sueur County Jail Overview
Le Sueur County Jail is operated by the Le Sueur County Sheriff's Office. The official jail page places the jail in the Le Sueur County Justice Center at 435 East Derrynane Street, Suite 1100, Le Center, MN 56057. The jail phone is 507-419-0321, and the fax number is 507-357-8654. The county jail page describes the facility as operating under Minnesota Department of Corrections licensing guidelines.
The official Le Sueur County Jail page shows the local facility information and jail contacts used for this page.
That county page is the best starting point for local jail contact details, while the live roster is the best starting point for current custody status.
Official sources found no separate county jail annex, city jail, work-release facility, regional jail, Minnesota DOC state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, or U.S. Marshals-only facility inside Le Sueur County. The Le Sueur County Jail is the only local facility that receives a facility page. A person may still move to another system after arrest, so state prison, federal, and immigration locator paths matter when the county roster no longer shows the person.
Le Sueur County Jail Capacity
The official county jail page states that Le Sueur County Jail has 80 beds. The 2025 amended Minnesota DOC inspection report also lists approved secure coed capacity as 80 and operational capacity as 72, which is calculated at 90 percent of approved capacity. The report identifies the facility type as jail and the governing local adult detention facility rules as Minnesota Rule Chapter 2911.
The MNDOC FY25 Performance Report gives Le Sueur County Jail an FY25 average daily population of 19.25 and lists approved capacity as 80. The live roster snapshot reviewed in the research showed 15 people in custody. Those figures describe a point-in-time roster and an annual average, not a promise that every day or every housing unit will have the same count.
Look Up Le Sueur County Jail Inmates
The correct lookup for current Le Sueur County Jail custody is the county's FirstCloudIT roster. The public roster is a timestamped table, not a database with search boxes. It has no visible text fields, dropdown filters, date pickers, reset buttons, pagination, login prompts, or export controls. Browser find is the practical way to search a name, MNI, booking number, charge term, or statute number.
The FirstCloudIT live custody roster displays the current local custody list for Le Sueur County Jail.
The timestamp on that roster is important because the page is a custody snapshot, not a permanent archive of all past bookings.
- Open the county Jail Roster page or go directly to the FirstCloudIT roster.
- Check the roster timestamp before relying on the custody list.
- Use browser find for the last name, first name, MNI, booking number, charge term, or statute number.
- Read the whole row because photo, MNI, name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charges, and bail or bond fields are packed together.
- If the person is not listed, call the jail, submit a Sheriff's Office records request, or check MNDOC, BOP, ICE, or court records based on custody stage.
The statewide Minnesota Department of Corrections locator is for people committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and under DOC jurisdiction. It is not the county jail roster. Minnesota VINELink is available statewide for custody notification, but county-specific Le Sueur integration was not located on the county site.
Le Sueur County Jail Roster Fields
The roster shows adult male and female inmates, court-pending statuses, sentenced statuses, bond or bail set statuses, and holds for another agency. It does not publicly show housing unit, pod, floor, classification, race, physical description, arresting agency, or court date in the observed text. Some rows can include free-text notes, such as anticipated release dates or treatment-related status notes.
| Roster Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Photo | Booking-photo column or image link for the current custody row. |
| MNI | Master Name Index number tied to the person. |
| Name, sex, age | Basic identity fields visible on the roster. |
| Booking number | Numeric booking entry for that custody event. |
| Intake date | Date and time the person was entered into custody. |
| Charges | Offense level, status, statute number, and charge description. |
| Bail or bond | Amount, conditions amount, received fields, and hold notes where available. |

Le Sueur County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff use Suite 1100 at the Justice Center. Court administration is in the same Justice Center complex but uses Suite 2400, so visitors should not assume that court and jail counters handle the same records. Jail custody questions go to the jail phone. Incident, accident, booking-photo, and report requests go through Sheriff's Office Records when the roster does not answer the question.

Visit Le Sueur County Jail
Le Sueur County's visitation page requires photo ID. It bars visitors under the influence of drugs or alcohol, allows disruptive behavior to end or deny a visit, bars visitors who have been Le Sueur County inmates within the last six months, prohibits food, beverages, and electronic devices in the visitation room, and requires visitors under 18 to be with a legal guardian or parent. The county also links video visitation to Inmate Canteen.
The official Le Sueur County Jail visitation page gives the day visitation windows and visitor rules.
Those rules should be checked before travel because jail visits can be denied for conduct, ID, age, or recent-custody restrictions.
| Visit Type | Day | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day visitation | Monday | 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. | Photo ID required. |
| Day visitation | Thursday | 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. | No food, beverages, or electronic devices in the visitation room. |
| Day visitation | Saturday | 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. | Visitors under 18 must be with a legal guardian or parent. |
| Video visitation | Not published on county page | Use Inmate Canteen portal | County links the vendor portal for video visitation. |
Mail Phone and Money
Mail to an inmate should use the jail name, the inmate's name, and the jail address. The county mail page says every item is at jail staff discretion, any item not accepted by the jail will not be accepted, the only item accepted without going through USPS is cash or money orders, and suspected contraband received by U.S. Mail is returned to sender.
The official jail mail page gives the inmate mail format and accepted-item rules.
The mail rules are strict enough that sender format and item type should be checked before anything is mailed.
| Service | Official Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Le Sueur County Jail, inmate's name, 435 E Derrynane Street, STE 1100, Le Center, MN 56057 |
| Inmate messages | The jail does not take inmate messages; use 507-216-4906. |
| Phone cards | Inmates may buy phone cards through canteen for $10.69 including tax. |
| Family phone cards | Friends and family may use the county-linked Reliance Telephone option. |
| Collect calls | Collect calling setup number published by the county is 800-896-3201. |
| Money deposits | Use Inmate Canteen online, or send cash or money order by postal mail under jail mail rules. |
Le Sueur County Jail Intake
Le Sueur County does not publish a full booking manual, but the official roster, court material, and DOC inspection details show the public path. A person arrested by the Sheriff's Office, a city police department, or an agency serving a warrant can be transported to Le Sueur County Jail. At intake, the jail creates or updates the person in the local system, records the intake date and time, enters booking charges or holds, and creates the roster entry that may appear publicly.
The inspection report reviewed medical and orientation processes. It recommended updates to the initial medical screen form and documented an orientation-signature issue that the facility corrected by changing the process so inmates could sign and date that they received orientation at booking in a method they understand. The roster does not show housing classification, but the jail is a secure coed facility subject to Minnesota Rule Chapter 2911 standards.
- Detainer
- A custody claim from another agency that can keep a person held even if the local case changes.
- Classification
- The jail's internal placement and safety review. It is not shown on the public roster.
- PR bond
- A release on personal recognizance, meaning the court allows release without posting cash bail.
Le Sueur County Jail Conditions
The 2025 amended Minnesota DOC inspection report found substantial compliance overall and kept the facility on biennial inspection. It listed four mandatory-rule noncompliance items tied to orientation documentation, emergency-procedure review documentation, lock and key testing documentation, and tuberculosis screening for staff. Corrective actions were described. The report also said the facility held or processed zero juveniles during the reviewed federal fiscal year to the inspection date and had no JJDPA violations.
Published program detail for Le Sueur County Jail is limited. The research noted one roster free-text reference to a Rule 25 and jail treatment program, but that is an observed custody note, not a full program description. Official county pages reviewed did not publish a complete list of GED, vocational, religious, reentry, or work-release programs. The 2026 fee list does include Huber Law fees, which supports mentioning Huber-style custody costs without claiming a separate Huber building.
Note: Confirm custody status, visit eligibility, and money-deposit details with the jail before traveling or sending funds.
