This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free a person, post bond, or pull an official booking or release record. Contact the office that holds the record for an official answer.
Kandiyohi Record and Custody Contacts
The right contact depends on who had custody and what needs to be confirmed. Kandiyohi County Jail handles county booking, custody, release, and transfer data. The District Court holds filed criminal-case records. Community Corrections routes local probation questions, while MNDOC handles state-prison and state-supervision records. Minnesota VINE provides county custody notifications but does not replace the sheriff's permanent record.

Main jail phone: 320-214-6700
Use the official In Custody report for current jail status. For older booking, release, transfer, or booking-photo data, use the Sheriff's Request for Information form or call the main number for routing. The form identifies in-person, mail, phone, and fax request types. Exact records-unit email and records-counter hours were not verified and are not known, so no email address or hours are stated here. The sheriff app's Data Requests feature is another official entry point.

Minnesota VINE covers county detention facilities, including the Kandiyohi County Jail data flow. It does not cover MNDOC prisons. Read the event label carefully because a transfer alert means custody continued with another authority.
Use the following routes to choose the right record source:
- For a released county detainee or the official release record, start with the Kandiyohi County release search and records path.
- For post-release supervision, use Parole / Probation and the court or agency contacts above.
- For recent county events, compare Released Last 24 Hours with the wider three-day request process.
- For a planned date or county alert, use Inmate Release Date and the VINELink Release Check.
- For facility details, use the Kandiyohi County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use MNDOC. For a federal sentenced person, use the official BOP locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS.
