Lookup Nobles County Inmate Records

Nobles County Jail Roster Overview

The official Nobles County inmate records path begins at the county inmate listing webpage. That page embeds an HTML roster file from the county FTP server. The roster is free and does not require a login, but it is not a searchable database. It is a current list with one booking photo per entry, a name, booking date, and charge rows with agency, type, and description. The research snapshot from June 18, 2026 showed 44 inmate-detail rows and a last-updated time of 10:05 AM.

The roster is best for present Nobles County Jail custody. It does not cover adults already committed to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, people in federal prison after BOP commitment, or immigration detainees searchable through ICE. The sheriff's office still matters when the online roster is unclear. The jail phone is (507) 295-5290, the Sheriff's law-enforcement center is (507) 295-5400, and in-person jail business uses the Prairie Justice Center address.

Use the Nobles County Inmate Roster

Because the roster has no search fields, the practical method is to open the roster and use the browser's Find function. The embedded frame can be awkward on some screens, so the direct Nobles inmate listing file is often easier. Start with the full last name, then scan close matches and middle names or suffixes. A missing name does not prove the person is free.

1. Open the county inmate listing page or the direct embedded roster.
2. Use browser Find for the last name because the roster has no name field.
3. Check the booking date, agency, charge type, and description for the right person.
4. Call the jail if the person may be newly booked, released, transferred, or listed under a different name.
5. Use MCRO, MNDOC, BOP, or ICE when the custody has moved outside the county jail.

The official embedded roster is shown in the screenshot below, captured from the manifest source.

The image shows the page-specific limitation clearly: the roster gives current custody rows, not a full profile search with bond, housing, or court-date filters.

Nobles County Roster Search Fields

The Nobles County roster search-field table is unusual because the roster has no inputs. That fact should shape how inmate records are checked. A person who expects a name box may miss the listing if they do not know to use browser Find. If the county page iframe is difficult to scroll, open the FTP roster directly and search within that page.

What Nobles County Inmate Records Show

Nobles County inmate records on the roster are narrow but useful. The booking photo and name help identify the person, while the agency and charge-description rows show why the person is held. The description may include a custody posture such as probable cause arrest, unsentenced, sentenced, warrant arrest, holding for another agency, or fugitive from justice. The Type column uses felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or unknown.

Find County, State, and Federal Inmates

A Nobles County inmate records search can move across several systems. The local roster answers whether a person is currently in Nobles County Jail. Minnesota Court Records Online answers whether a criminal case has been filed. The Minnesota DOC Locator answers whether a person is under state DOC jurisdiction after commitment. The BOP locator and ICE locator are federal tools.

Nobles County Jail Facility

The Facility Map identifies one local detention facility for Nobles County. The jail is part of the Prairie Justice Center in Worthington and is operated by the Nobles County Sheriff's Office. It holds adult pretrial detainees, unsentenced defendants, sentenced local inmates, warrant arrests, and holds for other agencies. The 2019 DOC inspection approved 88 secure coed beds and calculated 79.20 operational capacity.

Booking Process in Nobles County

Official Nobles sources do not publish a full booking workflow, so the roster and Minnesota jail rules provide the practical picture. A local arrest usually moves from officer custody to transport, intake, identity confirmation, property collection, booking photo, fingerprinting where required, screening, charge or hold entry, and classification. Classification means the jail decides the housing and supervision level. The public roster suggests the online release fields include booking date, photo, agency, charge type, and description.

New entries appear after the jail updates the embedded roster file. No guaranteed refresh frequency was published. If the person has just been arrested, the phone fallback matters. The jail does not take staff messages for inmates, but the inmate message system is (507) 407-2017, and messages are not confidential. First court movement for Nobles County criminal cases happens through Nobles County District Court in the same justice-center complex.

Nobles County Bond Information

Nobles County did not publish a dedicated bond schedule in the official sources reviewed, and the roster does not show bond amount, bond type, total bond, court-set conditions, or whether a different agency controls release. Treat charge text as booking information, not as a final release order. If the roster says holding for another agency, ask jail staff which agency controls release before assuming a local bond will resolve custody.

Nobles County Visitation Rules

Nobles County Jail visits must be registered and scheduled. The jail page ties registration to Reliance, and the official visit scheduling channel is (507) 295-5378 or the county scheduling app. Visitors must schedule at least four hours before the desired visitation period. Photo identification is required. A person may visit up to two times per day and four times per week, with 20-minute visits.
