Benton County Jail Roster Overview
The official county path begins with the Benton County Current Inmate List, which redirects to the Tyler Technologies Corrections Records Search for Benton County Jail. The portal title is Corrections Records Search and the research snippets show a Benton County Jail header, facility address, all current inmates, an update timestamp, and sort or filter controls. It is a current-custody tool for the county jail, not a lifetime arrest record.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office operates the jail as part of its local law-enforcement duties. Sheriff Troy Heck is listed as County Sheriff. The jail can house up to 102 inmates and supports custodial care, court security, and prisoner transport. Annual-report snippets reviewed in the research described 1,468 bookings in 2025, an average daily population of 39.28, and an average length of stay of 17.7 days. Those figures support one key reading point: roster entries change as people are booked, released, transported, or moved through court.
The jail division page is the official county source for local jail operations. The image below comes from the Benton County Jail Division page.
The jail page is the best starting place for facility rules, while the roster portal is the place to check current custody.
Use the Benton County Inmate Roster
The roster portal is designed for quick review of current inmates. Because automated research could not extract every visible detail from the Tyler app, the page should be read as a current roster with possible detail views rather than a guaranteed field-by-field booking database. The portal code and snippets confirmed labels for search, inmate, booking, charge, and record-detail views. Exact demographic fields, mugshot status, bond details, arresting agency, and court dates were not confirmed in official extracted text.
- Open the official Benton County Corrections Records Search from the county current inmate list page.
- Review the default all-current-inmates list, noting the update timestamp shown by the portal.
- Use the search, sort, or filter control to narrow the roster when a name or partial name is known.
- Select a result if the portal provides a detail view for inmate, booking, or charge information.
- Call the jail or Sheriff's Office if the roster result is unclear, if the person may have been released, or if court transport is involved.
The county current inmate list redirect is part of the official access chain. The image below comes from the Benton County Current Inmate List page.
Use the county redirect when possible because it confirms the roster portal is the county's current official route.
Benton County Inmate Search Fields
The research identified a limited set of roster fields and controls. The portal exposes a search function, a sort or filter control, a default list of all current inmates, and clickable result or detail areas. It did not produce a complete official text inventory of every demographic or charge field. That gap should be respected. Do not assume a mugshot, housing unit, bond amount, release date, or arresting agency appears unless it is visible in the live roster during use.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text | Optional or unspecified | Used to filter current inmate results in the Tyler roster. |
| Sort or Filter | Control | Optional | Result-list control; exact dropdown choices were not text-extracted. |
| All current inmates | Default list | No | Shows current Benton County Jail inmates with an update timestamp. |
| Inmate result/detail | Clickable result | Optional | Portal labels indicate inmate, booking, and charge sections may be available. |
The vendor-hosted roster is the official current-custody interface for the jail. The image below comes from the Benton County Corrections Records Search portal.
The portal should be checked close to the time the information is needed because current custody can change through release, transfer, or court action.
Benton County Inmate Profile Fields
A Benton County inmate profile is useful only within the limits of the roster. It is a custody record, not a final court judgment. Charges shown in a jail record may be pending, amended, dismissed, or later resolved in District Court. A person looking for court outcomes should compare the jail roster with MCRO case records or the appropriate criminal court file. The Benton County arrest records and court charges page is the better fit for the arrest-to-charge path.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Facility header | Identifies Benton County Jail as the custody source. |
| Facility address | Shows 581 Highway 23 NE, Foley, MN 56329 in official snippets. |
| Record set | States that the list covers all current inmates. |
| Update timestamp | Shows when the current roster was last refreshed, based on the portal display. |
| Inmate label | Indicates the person-level result or detail section in the Tyler app. |
| Booking label | Indicates booking information may be grouped separately from identity fields. |
| Charge label | Indicates charge information may be shown, but court status must be verified separately. |
Note: Roster profile details are limited to confirmed official fields, so unverified demographic and bond fields are omitted.
Benton County Jail Facility
Benton County has one jail facility documented in the official county sources. It is tied to the Sheriff's Office building in Foley. The same office handles sheriff services, jail operations, court security, and prisoner transport. Because the jail roster is a local custody system, people committed to state prison, supervised release, or other Minnesota Department of Corrections jurisdiction should be checked in the DOC public viewer instead of the county roster.
Benton County Jail / Sheriff's Office Building
581 Highway 23 NE
Foley, MN 56329
320-968-7201
Capacity: up to 102 inmates
Visitation appointments: 320-968-8180
The Sheriff's Office directory lists the main law-enforcement phone as 320-968-7201, with the same number for non-emergency after-hours dispatch. The jail visitation appointment line is separate and should be used for visit scheduling during posted business hours.
Benton County Booking Process
The Sheriff's Office duties include housing inmates, transporting inmates through the court system, providing court security, and investigating felonies. A local booking may follow an arrest, a warrant service, a court remand, or a transport from another agency. After intake, the person may appear on the current inmate list while still in local custody. Court events such as bail hearings, first appearances, arraignments, Rule 8 appearances, probation violation hearings, pleas, and sentencing are tracked in the District Court case file when a case is filed.
Booking data should be read with that timeline in mind. A charge label on a jail roster is not the same as a conviction. A court disposition, sentence, or dismissed charge is found through MCRO or Court Administration if public and available. If a current inmate also has an active warrant entry, the Benton County warrant search page explains the sheriff warrant table and confirmation chain.
Benton County Inmate Visitation
The Benton County Jail Division page gives a limited but clear rule: jail visitation is by appointment only on visiting days. Appointment requests are made by phone during normal business hours, and the appointment must be made at least 24 hours before the visit. The official sources reviewed did not disclose a full online schedule of visiting days, visitor ID rules, dress code, child visitor rules, remote video provider, or attorney visit schedule.
| Topic | Official Benton County Detail |
|---|---|
| Visit type | In-person jail visitation by appointment only. |
| Appointment phone | 320-968-8180. |
| Appointment hours | Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. |
| Advance notice | Appointment must be made at least 24 hours before the visit. |
| Facility | Benton County Jail, 581 Highway 23 NE, Foley, MN 56329. |
| Visiting days | The county says "on visiting days," but exact days were not located in official source text. |
Note: Call the appointment line before travel because the county did not publish a full visit calendar in the reviewed text.
Benton County Jail vs DOC
The Benton County jail roster covers local custody. The Minnesota DOC public offender locator covers adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction. That can include prison custody and supervised release. The DOC locator warns that newly sentenced individuals may take several business days to appear, so a person recently moved from county jail to DOC custody may not show immediately.
The DOC locator uses name or MNDOC offender ID search paths. DOC detail snippets may point to Minnesota Courts for case information and to BCA for criminal history. Release status, sentence details, and facility questions can require the facility or DOC central records. The image below comes from the Minnesota DOC public offender locator.
The DOC search is a state correctional lookup. It should not be used to decide whether someone is currently housed in Benton County Jail.
| System | Who It Covers | Search Path |
|---|---|---|
| Benton County jail roster | People currently held in Benton County Jail | Current inmate list and Tyler Corrections Records Search. |
| Minnesota DOC public viewer | Adults committed to DOC and still under DOC jurisdiction | Name or MNDOC Offender ID. |
| MCRO | Public District Court case records | Person, business, case number, citation number, attorney, hearing, or judgment searches. |
Benton County Inmate Contact
The official research did not locate a complete inmate mail format, banned-mail list, remote video visitation provider, money-deposit vendor, phone-call vendor, commissary table, tablet program, religious visitation rules, attorney-visitation schedule, or holiday schedule. Those details should not be filled in with common jail vendor names. For practical questions about phone calls, mail, money, commissary, or visitor logistics, call the jail visitation appointment line at 320-968-8180 or the Sheriff's Office at 320-968-7201.
No official Benton County, Minnesota Sheriff's Office mobile app was located in the sources reviewed. Apps from Benton County, Arkansas or Benton County, Indiana do not apply. Use the county website, current jail roster, warrant list, and sheriff phone line instead.
Important: Do not send money, mail, or documents through an unconfirmed vendor without checking Benton County Jail first.
Minnesota Inmate Search Resources
The Minnesota DOC also publishes related search and fugitive resources. The DOC search individuals and fugitives page links offender locator resources, non-compliant predatory registrant information, and fugitive resources. These tools are statewide and serve a different purpose than the Benton County roster.
The image below comes from the Minnesota DOC search individuals and fugitives page.
Use statewide DOC tools for state custody and supervision questions, then return to Benton County Jail for current local custody.
Benton County Inmate Court Status
A Benton County inmate roster entry should be paired with court records when the question is about charges, hearings, disposition, or sentence. The jail roster can confirm current local custody, but it does not replace the District Court file. A person may be listed because of a new arrest, a warrant, a probation violation, a court remand, or a transport hold. The court case explains what has been filed and what the next public hearing may be.
For criminal or traffic matters, MCRO can be searched by person name, case number, citation number, attorney, or hearing information. The Benton daily calendar can show near-term hearings in Courtroom 1 or Courtroom 2 when the event is public and remotely accessible. If the roster lists a charge but MCRO is not clear, call the jail for custody status and Court Administration for case-record status. Those are separate questions.
