Lincoln County Jail Roster Start
The official current roster is the Lincoln County Sheriff inmate roster. Research located public roster output headed "New Inmate Roster LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF" with a run date and time. That timestamp matters. In a small jail, one transport, court release, or new booking can change the list quickly, so the run time is the first sign of how fresh the Lincoln County inmate records are.
The roster is a listing-style jail roster, not a verified name-search form. Accessible output showed people grouped by sex, then listed with columns for JailId, photo, name, charges, current disposition, and total bail. If the current roster is blank, slow, or does not show the person, use the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department phone line instead of assuming no custody exists.
Roster scope: The Lincoln County jail roster covers county jail custody. Sentenced state prisoners, federal inmates, and ICE detainees use separate systems.
Use Lincoln County Jail Records
A good Lincoln County inmate lookup starts with the official roster, then moves outward only if the roster does not answer the custody question. Sheriff Bob Bushman's office operates the Lincoln County Jail in the Law Enforcement Center in Ivanhoe. The jail handles local bookings, court transports, adult pretrial detainees, and people serving local jail terms. That is the group most likely to appear on the county roster.
- Open the official roster and check the run date and time before reading any name or charge entry.
- Review the current list by sex grouping if a grouping appears, then compare the person's name with the JailId and charge text.
- Read the current disposition and total bail columns with care. Bail can change after a court hearing or if another hold exists.
- If the person is missing, call 507-694-1664 or 507-694-1325 and ask whether the person is in custody, recently released, at court, or held elsewhere.
- For an older booking record, submit a specific Minnesota Data Practices Act request to the sheriff with the name, booking date, and record type requested.
Do not treat a jail roster charge as the final court charge. Booking charges may come from an arrest report, warrant, or hold. The prosecutor can later file a complaint with amended, reduced, added, or dismissed charges. Court records after a booking are handled through Minnesota Court Records Online and Lincoln County Court Administration, not through the roster alone.
Lincoln County Roster Fields
The Lincoln County roster fields found in research are useful for a first custody check, but they are narrower than a full case file. No separate public profile page was confirmed. No roster search box was verified. The safest way to use the table is to treat each row as a current jail listing and confirm time-sensitive items with the Sheriff's Department.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run Date/Time | Roster metadata | N/A | Shows when the roster was generated; research found an example run on 06/18/2026 at 07:00. |
| Sex grouping | Roster section | N/A | Accessible output showed "Males" as a section when inmates were listed. |
| JailId | Table column | N/A | Local jail identifier in the roster table; exact format was not verified. |
| Photo | Table column | N/A | Indicates a booking-photo column exists when a photo is available. |
| Name | Table column | N/A | Public name of the person listed in county jail custody. |

| Search button | Not located | N/A | No public search button was confirmed from accessible official output. |
Lincoln County Inmate Profile Fields
Lincoln County inmate records from the roster should be read as jail data. They are not a full criminal history, not a certified court file, and not proof of conviction. The visible fields help confirm that the right person may be in custody, identify the current booking basis, and point to the next office to call. They do not replace court records, attorney communication, or a direct jail status check.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| JailId | A local jail identifier for the person or booking, with the exact format not verified in the public output. |
| Photo | A booking photograph column, which indicates that photos may appear when available. |
| Name | The public name listed by the roster for the person in custody. |
| Charges | Jail booking or holding-charge text, which may differ from prosecutor-filed charges. |
| Current Disposition | The current custody or charge status as shown in the roster table. |
| Total Bail | The total bail amount listed when bail is set or applicable. |
| Run Date/Time | The roster generation time, used to judge whether the list is current enough for the question. |
Height, weight, housing unit, date of birth, arresting agency, court date, warrant number, and a separate profile page were not verified in the accessible Lincoln County roster output. If one of those details is needed, call the Sheriff's Department or check the court case through MCRO. Medical, juvenile, security, and confidential investigative data can be restricted under Minnesota law.
Lincoln County Jail Lookup Fallbacks
The roster is the fastest public path, but it is not the only path. Lincoln County official research did not locate a dedicated sheriff records request form, so records questions go through the Sheriff's Department contact information and Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13. Make the request narrow. Include the person's full name, booking or arrest date, requested record, and preferred delivery method.
| Access Channel | Best Use | Lincoln County Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Official roster | Current county jail custody | Public Lincoln County Sheriff roster |
| Phone | Fresh bookings, stale roster, release checks | 507-694-1664 or 507-694-1325 |
| In person | Public counter or records questions | Lincoln County Law Enforcement Center, 322 N. Wallace St., P.O. Box 166, Ivanhoe, MN 56142 |
| Public data request | Older booking records or copies | Use sheriff contact and cite public government data under Minnesota Statutes 13.03 |
| VINE | Custody notifications | Minnesota VINE for notification and status alerts |
No Lincoln County Minnesota sheriff app with roster, warrant, or inmate search tools was found. A county-linked Buffalo Ridge drug and violent crime task force tip channel exists for anonymous crime tips, but it is not a jail records or inmate lookup tool.
Note: If a person was booked today and does not appear online, the jail phone line is the most direct next step.
Lincoln County Jail Contact
The Lincoln County Jail is inside the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department Law Enforcement Center. The same public-safety building houses the Communications Center, jail facility, and sheriff staff offices. County office hours are published as 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for county offices, while dispatch and jail operations are public-safety functions. Public counter access for jail records, visiting questions, or bond questions should still be confirmed before arrival.

For the facility overview, the Lincoln County Jail page covers the jail building, capacity, and facility-specific custody role. For filed charges after a booking, use court sources because jail staff cannot make a booking charge become a certified court record.
Lincoln County Booking Records
Lincoln County's sheriff administration materials support the office's local records role, while the sheriff page says the Sheriff's Department books inmates into and out of the jail, transports detainees to and from court, and houses people sentenced to local jail terms. A typical local custody flow is arrest or court remand, transport to the Law Enforcement Center, identity intake, property inventory, booking record creation, photo and fingerprints when required, screening, classification, roster listing if public and applicable, housing, phone access, bail review, and court transport.
Classification means the jail reviews needs and security factors to place a person in a safe housing or program setting. Minnesota Rule 2911 and Minnesota Statutes 241.021 set the standards framework for local adult detention facilities, including safety, health care, screening, well-being checks, rights statements, and jail records. Those rules explain why a small county roster may not show every operational detail that exists inside the jail file.
The key split is simple: the jail record documents custody, while the court record documents filed charges and case events. If a Lincoln County inmate record shows a booking charge, compare it with MCRO or Court Administration once the case is filed. Prosecutor-filed charges can be different from the first jail entry.
Lincoln County DOC and Federal Searches
No Minnesota state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or USMS contract facility was found in Lincoln County official sources. That does not end the search. A person arrested in Lincoln County can leave the county jail system after sentencing, transfer, federal proceedings, or immigration detention. Each system has its own locator.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local jail term | Lincoln County jail roster | Current county jail custody handled by the Sheriff's Department. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | MNDOC public viewer | Adults committed to the Minnesota Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction. |
| Custody notification | Minnesota VINE | Notification service for custody status and some criminal case status. |
| Federal inmate | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE detainee locator | People currently in ICE custody, with A-number or biographical search paths. |
MNDOC records may take several business days to show a newly sentenced person. DOC name searches can include names tied to conviction history, aliases, or former names. BOP searches can use name fields or federal numbers, and ICE searches work best with an A-number and country of birth.
Lincoln County Jail Visits
Official Lincoln County sources located did not publish a detailed visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, commissary vendor, phone provider, or mail rule page. That absence should not be filled with guesses. The Sheriff's Department is the local authority for visitor lists, government ID rules, minor visitor rules, attorney visits, mail format, phone funding, and commissary or money deposits.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Practical Routing |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not located in official sources | Call 507-694-1664 or 507-694-1325 before arrival. |
| Visitor ID | Not located | Bring government photo ID and ask about minor visitor rules. |
| Dress code and property | Not located | Ask what items are barred from the lobby or visitor area. |
| Video visitation | Not located | No vendor should be assumed unless the jail confirms it. |
| Attorney visits | Not located | Attorneys should coordinate directly with jail or court staff. |
| Mail address | 322 N. Wallace St., P.O. Box 166, Ivanhoe, MN 56142 | Confirm inmate name and JailId format before mailing. |
| Money deposits | Not located | Call before sending funds or assuming a kiosk, online vendor, or money order is accepted. |
Before mailing anything, use the full inmate name and any JailId the jail provides, include a return address, and call before sending books, packages, photos, cash, checks, or money orders. If the person has been moved to MNDOC, county jail mail and money rules no longer apply.
Lincoln County Record Terms
Short custody terms can help prevent a bad search. A word used on a roster is not always a final court result, and a jail term is not the same as a state prison sentence. The following terms are used in Lincoln County jail records, Minnesota court records, and state locator systems.
- Booking
- Jail intake after an arrest, warrant arrest, or court remand.
- Charge
- An alleged offense or holding basis. It is not the same as a conviction.
- Disposition
- A status or outcome label. On a jail roster it may describe current custody or charge handling.
- Bail
- Money or conditions set to secure release and future court appearance.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that may affect release.
- DOC
- The Minnesota Department of Corrections, which handles sentenced state prison custody and supervision.
