How the McLeod County Inmate Search Works
The McLeod County inmate search is the live roster at the top of this page. Search by inmate name, booking number, or listed charge to narrow the current McLeod County jail roster without leaving this page. The roster is intended for custody and booking information, not as a full criminal case history.
The roster shows current inmate records with fields such as name, booking number, booked date, listed charges, and custody status. The charge text may include severity codes such as F for felony, G for gross misdemeanor, or M for misdemeanor when those codes appear in the booking data. Use "View Details" on a roster entry to review additional charge information when available.
The McLeod County jail roster is not the same as a court docket. Jail booking data shows custody-related information, while court records are maintained separately by the Minnesota Judicial Branch. For McLeod County District Court case records, Minnesota Court Records Online, also called MCRO, is the state court records portal.
Posting Bail at McLeod County Jail
Bail for a McLeod County Jail inmate is set by the court, not by jail staff. Before going to pay bail, call the jail at 320-864-5191 to confirm the inmate is still in custody, the current bail amount, the payment location, and which payment methods are approved for that case.
During regular business hours, bail may be handled at the McLeod County Government Center at 830 East 11th Street in Glencoe, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The Sheriff's Office lobby window at 801 10th Street East is also listed for Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. After hours, on weekends, and on holidays, contact Sheriff's Office Dispatch, which is available 24 hours.
Payment requirements can vary by case and court order. McLeod County information indicates cash or approved payment instruments such as a cashier's check or money order may apply, but anyone posting bail should call 320-864-5191 before arriving to confirm what will be accepted. Licensed Minnesota bail bond agents commonly charge a fee based on the bond amount, often around 10%, but bond availability and exact costs must be confirmed with the bonding agent and the jail.
Minnesota criminal cases may include release conditions such as no-contact orders, Order for Protection restrictions, Domestic Abuse No Contact Orders, firearm surrender requirements, DWI-related conditions, alcohol or drug restrictions, or pretrial evaluation requirements. The controlling terms are the court order and the inmate's release paperwork, not a verbal summary.
McLeod County Jail lists a $15 booking fee. The fee is not charged for out-of-county arrests, outside transports, juvenile arrests, or probation hold situations.
Sending Money to an Inmate
Money for a McLeod County Jail inmate can be deposited online through Team3 Inmate Canteen. This platform is also connected with inmate account funding and communication services for the facility.
McLeod County Jail also lists a lobby kiosk at 801 10th Street East in Glencoe. The kiosk is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Before using the kiosk, call 320-864-5191 to confirm lobby access and whether the inmate is eligible to receive deposits.
Money orders may be mailed for inmate accounts. Make the money order payable to "McLeod County Jail - [inmate name] account" and use the jail mailing address at 801 10th Street East, Glencoe, MN 55336. Do not mail cash unless the jail directly confirms that a current policy allows it.
Inmate Communication
McLeod County Jail inmate phone service is provided through Securus Technologies. Inmates cannot receive incoming calls at the jail, so all personal phone calls must be started by the inmate. Current calling rates should be checked through Securus because federal rate rules and provider fees have changed under recent FCC regulations.
McLeod County Jail also lists email and SMS services through Team3 Inmate Canteen. Family and friends should check the Team3 platform for current account setup steps, message availability, and current fees before purchasing credits or sending messages.
Mail may be sent to an inmate at McLeod County Jail, 801 10th Street East, Glencoe, MN 55336. Include the inmate's full name on the mailing line so jail staff can route the mail correctly. Phone calls, email, SMS, and non-legal mail may be monitored or recorded, except confidential attorney-client communication.
