About the Goodhue County Jail
The Goodhue County Adult Detention Center is operated by the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office and serves as the primary custody facility for Goodhue County, Minnesota. The jail handles intake, booking, and pretrial detention for arrests made by the Sheriff's Office, the Red Wing Police Department, the Cannon Falls Police Department, the Minnesota State Patrol, and other agencies operating within the county. A flat $10 booking fee is assessed at intake for every person processed into the facility.
The jail sits inside the Goodhue County Justice Center complex in downtown Red Wing and works closely with the Goodhue County District Court, which is part of Minnesota's First Judicial District.

How the Goodhue County Inmate Search Works
The roster at the top of this page is the Goodhue County inmate search. It pulls live booking data from the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center and lets you filter by inmate name, booking number, or listed charge directly in the table - no separate lookup tool is required. Each row shows the inmate's name, booking date, primary charges with a "+1 more" indicator when multiple counts are filed, and current custody status such as "In Custody."
Selecting View Details on any row expands the full charge list, showing every count tied to that booking along with the arresting agency where available - for example, "Cannon Falls Police Endanger Child-Situation Could (x3)" or "Minnesota State Patrol 1st Deg Drug Possession." The expanded view also displays the facility's direct contact information so you can call about a specific inmate without leaving the page.
The Goodhue County jail roster shows people currently in custody. It is not the court docket. Case numbers, hearing dates, judge assignments, and filed court documents are maintained separately by the Minnesota Judicial Branch and are accessible through Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO), described in the court section below.
Posting Bail at Goodhue County Jail
Bail amounts in Goodhue County are set by the District Court, not the jail. The amount is determined at the bail hearing based on the charges, criminal history, and flight risk, and it appears on the inmate's booking record once the order is entered. Before traveling to the facility to post bail, call the jail at (651) 267-2804 to confirm the current bail amount, whether any hold or no-bail order is in place, and whether the inmate has been transported for a court appearance.
Goodhue County accepts several bail payment methods. In-person payments at the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center, 430 W. 6th Street in Red Wing, can be made with cash, cashier's check, or money order. Credit and debit card payments are accepted through the GovPayNow portal linked on the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office website, and a credit card kiosk is also available inside the detention center lobby for on-site card transactions.
Because Goodhue County is a Minnesota jurisdiction, bail conditions commonly imposed by the District Court can include Domestic Abuse No Contact Orders (DANCO), Orders for Protection (OFP), firearm surrender requirements, no-alcohol and remote-monitoring conditions in DWI cases, and pretrial release evaluations. The conditions attached to a specific case appear on the bail order issued by the court.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Goodhue County uses Turnkey / Inmate Canteen for inmate trust account deposits. To deposit funds online with a credit or debit card, go to team3.inmatecanteen.com and follow the prompts using the inmate's name and booking number. Deposits made through this platform fund commissary purchases, phone time, and other approved inmate expenses.
You can also deposit funds in person using the blue Customer Service kiosk in the detention center lobby at 430 W. 6th Street. The kiosk accepts both cash and credit cards and credits the inmate's account directly.

Inmate Communication
Inmates at the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center cannot receive incoming phone calls.
