How the Todd County Inmate Search Works
Todd County's sheriff page links directly to daily_inmate_roster.pdf. Each edition includes a Printed on date and a Total Records count, providing a dated county roster rather than a minute-by-minute booking feed.
The PDF lists a front mugshot, full name, age, Arrest Date, address, and one or more charges. Charge entries may include a Minnesota statute number and the county's offense wording. Multiple charges remain associated with the listed inmate rather than being reduced to one offense.
The searchable table displays the inmate name, source date, and listed charges from the latest successful sync. The Booked At column displays the Arrest Date reported by Todd County, not a separate booking timestamp.
| Official PDF Field | Searchable Page Treatment |
|---|---|
| Front mugshot | Published in the official PDF; not reproduced in this searchable table |
| Full name | Displayed in the Name column and searchable |
| Age | Published in the official PDF; not reproduced in this table |
| Arrest Date | Displayed in the Booked At column |
| Address | Published in the official PDF; not reproduced in this table |
| Charges | Displayed with multiple charge entries preserved |
If a name is missing, the person may have been released or transferred, may not yet appear in the latest PDF, or may be held by a different authority. Check the Last Successful Sync before drawing a conclusion.

Inmate Phone, Messaging, Tablets, and Mail
Todd County correctional officers do not take personal messages for inmates. The county directs family and friends to NCIC Correctional Services for inmate communication, including messages and video visits. The official jail page warns that electronic messages are not confidential.
An inmate may receive a tablet after booking and signing a user agreement. Family and friends can use NCIC to fund tablet messaging. Todd County does not publish facility-specific phone, video, or message prices on its jail page, so review the current charge shown by NCIC before using a paid service.

Todd County Court Information
Criminal and traffic cases filed in Todd County are handled by Todd County District Court, part of Minnesota's Seventh Judicial District. The courthouse is at 221 First Avenue South in Long Prairie. Court Administration is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The court's official page provides a Todd County weekly public court calendar. It says the calendar is posted at 7:00 a.m. each business day and updated hourly, but also warns that schedules, judicial assignments, and courtroom assignments can change. Confidential and other non-remotely accessible matters do not appear, so an absent calendar entry does not prove that a hearing was cancelled.
Minnesota Court Records Online, or MCRO, provides access to many public state district court records and documents. MCRO is separate from the jail roster. Its official guidance says a pending criminal matter cannot be found by searching the defendant's name; a case number, citation number, attorney name, or attorney bar number is needed for that search until a conviction is entered. Contact Todd County Court Administration for case-specific records that are not available online.
