Scott County Jail Roster
The Scott County Sheriff's Office operates the local jail and publishes the county jail roster for current in-custody information. The main sheriff page is the Scott County Sheriff's Office, while jail and warrant information is grouped on the Jail/Warrants page. The jail itself is at the Law Enforcement Center in Shakopee and is described by the county as a 264-bed facility opened in 2005.
The roster is for local custody. It may include sentenced and pretrial adult male and female offenders, and the county notes that some juvenile offenders may be held for a limited time until other housing is found. It is not a full court file. Court charges, hearings, pleas, dispositions, and sentences are tracked through Minnesota Court Records Online and Scott County District Court records, while current custody rows belong to the jail side.
The county Jail Roster page includes an important scam warning: the Sheriff's Office will never call family members demanding payment. If a call about custody or payment seems suspect, the county directs people to call Jail Administration before acting.
The county's Jail Roster page is the official lead-in for custody lookup.
That source page matters because it points users to the roster while placing the roster in the Sheriff's Office custody system, not the District Court case system.
Use Scott County Inmate Records
The direct in-custody roster is a static public table. Research found no visible public search box, sort tool, reset button, or filter set on the direct roster. Users must scan the visible rows rather than enter a name in a form. That is a key difference from many jail systems that have an interactive inmate search screen.
- Open the county Jail Roster page and continue to the direct in-custody roster.
- Scan the table for the person's name, MNI, booking number, age, sex, intake date, and visible charge rows.
- Compare spelling carefully. The roster is a custody table, so a missing name can mean release, transfer, delayed update, or a spelling mismatch.
- Call Scott County Jail at 952-496-8314 when the custody question needs confirmation from jail staff.
- Use court records or jail data request channels when the question is about charges, case status, a report, or a booking photo request.
The direct in-custody roster is the county source for public rows visible at the time it is viewed.
The table format supports quick custody checks, but it does not replace a court record or a public data request.
Scott County Inmate Search Fields
Because the direct roster is static, the search-field table is short. The useful point is the absence of public interactive fields. A user can still use the browser's find function to scan a name, but the county roster itself did not expose a form-driven inmate search tool during research.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search field | n/a | n/a | No visible interactive search fields on the direct roster; it is a static in-custody table. |
| Sort/filter controls | n/a | n/a | No visible public filters were captured in the research. |
| Buttons | n/a | n/a | No visible Search or Reset button was captured. |
Note: A static roster can change after release, transfer, booking review, or data update, so current custody should be confirmed with the jail when timing matters.
Scott County Roster Details
Scott County inmate records on the roster show a limited public field set. The table is useful for a current custody check and for seeing the charge rows tied to the booking. It does not show every profile-style field sometimes found in other jail systems, such as height, weight, hair color, eye color, holding pod, or medical flags.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Photo | The public roster includes a photo column when available. |
| MNI | The master name index value visible in the roster row. |
| Name | The in-custody person's listed name. |
| Sex and age | Basic demographic fields visible on the roster. |
| Booking number | The booking identifier tied to the current custody event. |
| Intake date | The date the person entered Scott County Jail custody. |
| Charges | Visible charge rows, including statute numbers and descriptions where listed. |
| Status or level codes | Examples include F, G, M, A, P and custody or case status such as Court/Pending, Bail/Bond Set, Hold for Another Agency, Sentenced, Sentence Complete, ROR, or RPR. |
| Bond amount | Bail data appeared in commented roster HTML but was not visibly displayed in the public table captured for research. |
Charge rows on the roster are custody-facing entries. The full criminal case file, when filed and public, is reviewed through District Court records rather than the jail roster.

Emergency matters go to 911. Routine roster, records, and visitation questions should use the specific jail or Sheriff's Records channels because those offices handle different parts of the custody record.
Scott County Jail vs DOC
The county roster covers people held in Scott County Jail. The Minnesota Department of Corrections covers a different group: adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections who are still under DOC jurisdiction, whether in prison or released from prison and still under supervision. The DOC notes that newly sentenced people may take several business days to appear.
The Minnesota DOC Offender Locator can be searched by first and last name or by a six-digit MNDOC Offender ID. Partial DOC IDs do not return results. The DOC contact information in the research is Minnesota Department of Corrections, 1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 200, Saint Paul, MN 55108, phone 651-361-7200, fax 651-642-0223, and records email co-records.doc@state.mn.us.
The DOC offender locator is the source for state correction custody and supervision records.
Use DOC records when the person is in state prison or post-prison supervision, not merely booked into Scott County Jail.
The Minnesota DOC search individuals and fugitives page gives public users another official route into state correction lookup tools.
That state source belongs with DOC lookup, not with the county jail roster or Sheriff's Office booking records.
The DOC public registrant search is separate again. It supports city, county, name, ZIP Code, all-current-registrant, and address-unknown searches; Scott County and Shakopee appear in the available place filters.
The DOC public registrant search is a distinct state-level public safety search.
That search should not be confused with the county jail roster, which is narrower and tied to local custody.
Scott County Jail Data
Jail data requests use county and Sheriff's Office channels. The Jail Data Request page links to the county's online data request portal for general jail booking records and Sheriff's records. News media jail booking photo or public in-custody information requests can be made at 952-496-8327, Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; callers should be ready to provide an email address. After-hours data requests can be made at 952-496-8129.
The Sheriff's Records page asks requesters to provide useful facts such as incident date and time, Incident Complaint Number, location, and names of victims, complainants, or other parties. The same page warns that criminal incident reports may not be available for up to 5 days and accident reports may not be available for up to 10 days.
Most important, Sheriff's Records does not maintain court records. Court records go to Scott County Court Administration at 952-496-8200, while jail, booking, incident, and law-enforcement records use Sheriff's Office or county data channels.
Scott County Inmate Visitation
Scott County uses ICSolutions for video visitation and phone service. Visitors must register with ICSolutions to schedule on-site or remote visits. The county's visitation rules say on-site visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. On-site kiosk access is also available, and people without access who plan to visit on site must call 952-496-8314 during business hours.
| Visitation Item | Scott County Rule |
|---|---|
| Scheduling provider | ICSolutions |
| Scheduling methods | Online at icsolutions.com, on-site kiosk, or 952-496-8314 for on-site visitors without access |
| Scheduling deadline | On-site visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance |
| Phone scheduling hours | 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
| Adult visitor limit | One adult visitor per on-site visit |
| Daily limit | Inmates can have up to two visits per day |
| Children | Children 0-17 must be a child or sibling of the inmate, are only allowed Wednesdays, and need approval requested by the inmate |
Late visits are not extended, inmates may refuse visits, and inmates are not excused from programs, medical appointments, or work detail for visiting. Adults must be 18 or older and have valid ID. People incarcerated in Scott County Jail within the last six months cannot visit, and minor children cannot be left unattended in the lobby.
The county Inmate Visitation page is the controlling source for scheduling and visit rules.
The visitation rules are custody rules, so they can affect family contact even when the court case is searched elsewhere.
Scott County Jail Mail
Mail must be sent through U.S. Mail. The county's Mail and Messaging page gives the address format as the incarcerated person's full name, Scott County Jail, 301 Fuller Street South, Shakopee, MN 55379. Mail is subject to inspection except legal or privileged mail, which is opened in the inmate's presence. Packages are not allowed.
Electronic messaging uses GTL / GettingOut. The researched fee is $0.25 per message. Messages are subject to inspection, and people on disciplinary sanctions cannot receive or reply to messages. Phone and video service are tied to ICSolutions, and non-privileged calls and visitation sessions are recorded.
Important: Non-privileged calls, visits, and electronic messages should be treated as recorded or inspected jail communications.
Scott County Commissary Funds
The Commissary and Money page names Keefe Commissary Network as the current Scott County Jail commissary service provider. Deposit options include phone prepaid accounts, Access Corrections online deposits, a jail lobby kiosk, U.S. Mail money orders payable to Scott County Jail, and commissary packages through Access Securepak / Access Catalog.
| Deposit or Purchase Method | Details |
|---|---|
| Phone prepaid account | 866-345-1884 |
| Online deposits | Access Corrections at accesscorrections.com |
| Lobby kiosk | Available in the jail lobby; depositor must know the spelling of the inmate name |
| U.S. Mail money order | Payable to Scott County Jail |
| Commissary packages | MN County Packages through Access Securepak / Access Catalog |
Deposit fees may apply and can change. The county states that money deposited becomes inmate property, so the depositor is not entitled to a refund. The jail fees page also notes that incarcerated persons may be required to pay County Board-approved fees.
Note: Commissary, phone, message, and visit vendor rules can change faster than custody records, so verify provider instructions before sending funds.
