Lookup Wilkin County Jail Inmates

Wilkin County Jail Overview

Wilkin County Jail is operated by the Wilkin County Sheriff's Office at the Law Enforcement Center in Breckenridge. Official county materials describe it as a county jail for adult male and female inmates at minimum, medium, and maximum custody levels. The jail handles new arrests, local sentences, work release or Huber cases, and boarders from surrounding jurisdictions. The county specifically names active agreements with Ransom County, North Dakota, and Richland County, North Dakota.

The jail was completed in August 2006 and covers 17,000 square feet. It is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections and operates under Minnesota jail standards. The Sheriff's Office page lists Sheriff Tony Harris as the county sheriff. Jail operations are part of the same Law Enforcement Center that houses sheriff functions, but court business is routed through Wilkin County District Court and the courthouse.

The official Wilkin County Jail page shows the facility description, mission, capacity, staffing plan, and program links.

Use that official jail page for facility background, and use the roster for the current list of people in custody.

Wilkin County Jail Population

The jail's published capacity is 21 designated beds. The 2025 PREA audit reports an average daily population of 11 for the past 12 months, six housing units, and seven inmates in custody on the first day of the onsite audit. The same audit says the jail had no over-capacity point in the past 12 months. Those figures make Wilkin County Jail a small facility where each booking, release, court hold, or boarder transfer can change the population picture quickly.

Search Wilkin County Jail Roster

The correct online custody source for Wilkin County Jail is the LETG in-custody roster. The roster shows the current in-custody list with a timestamp. It does not present a visible public search form in the inspected view, so the practical lookup method is to open the page, confirm the timestamp, and scan or browser-find the last name. A person who is not listed may not be booked yet, may have been released, may be in court, may be boarded elsewhere, or may have moved to state, federal, or immigration custody.

1. Open the Wilkin County LETG roster and check the current timestamp.
2. Use browser find or scan the list by last name.
3. Match the person by name, MNI, sex, age, booking number, and intake date.
4. Review charge lines and bond or bail fields, but confirm release terms with the jail.
5. Use MNDOC, BOP, ICE, or court records if the person is not in local custody.

The roster is useful for current booking facts, but it is not a full police report or court file.

Wilkin County Jail Contact

Use the jail phone for custody questions that the roster does not answer. Use the Sheriff's Office number for sheriff administration, public data routing, or office questions. Dispatch is listed by the county as available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Office hours on the sheriff page are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with summer Friday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Visit Wilkin County Jail Inmates

Wilkin County contracts with Reliance Telephone for inmate phone and video visitation services. The county tells users to contact Reliance, not the jail, for Reliance service issues. Visit scheduling requires an account, a search for Wilkin County Jail, an inmate last-name search, photo ID information, and confirmation through the vendor system. If an inmate does not appear in the visitation list, the county says the person may not have signed into the visitation kiosk yet.

The county's Reliance visitation instructions show the local scheduling route.

Reliance support is listed in the research as 1-800-896-3201 for phone and video service problems.

Mail Phone and Money

Wilkin County publishes clear phone and video visitation guidance, but the research did not locate a full official inmate-mail rule page or a detailed commissary deposit fee table. The county financial statements describe a Jail Inmate custodial fund used for funds collected from inmates at booking or brought in for personal use, with disbursements for commissary purchases, bonds, booking fees, and similar fees. Do not assume a deposit vendor or fee until the jail confirms it.

Wilkin County Jail Programs

Wilkin County publishes detailed program information for a small jail. Sentence to Service/Community Service, or STSCS, lets sentenced jail inmates work off pay-to-stay fines and community service hours after completing an application and UA drug screening. Work release or Huber participants must report after court or call the jail for paperwork, and the county warns that failing to set up privileges at least 48 hours in advance may delay release privileges.

I.G.N.I.T.E. provides education, career exploration, employment opportunities, training materials, and life skills. Volunteers must complete a packet, interview, and background investigation, and they cannot be on probation. The jail also has a Behavioral Health Unit in collaboration with Freedom Behavioral Health, Inc., offering programming, therapy, screening, medication recommendations, and discharge planning.

The Wilkin County Jail programs page lists STSCS, work release, I.G.N.I.T.E., volunteer, and mental health services.

These programs affect sentenced jail inmates and approved participants, not every person newly booked into custody.

Wilkin County Jail Records

The roster gives a limited public view of current custody. For booking records, booking photographs, incident data, or jail data not shown online, use the Wilkin County data request process. The public data request form asks for requester information, date, access type, description of the data, phone number, and email. It offers inspection, copies, or both. Inspection is free, while copies may be subject to the county fee schedule.

Minnesota law treats many booking and law-enforcement data elements as public, but active investigative data, protected identities, juvenile data, medical or mental health data, and sealed or expunged records may be restricted. For court case outcomes, use Minnesota Court Records Online or Wilkin County District Court, because a jail roster charge is not the final court record.
