Kittson County Jail Roster Overview
The official Kittson County Sheriff page lists Matt Vig as Sheriff and gives the direct Sheriff phone as 218-843-3535. It publishes jail visiting hours and staff information, but the research did not locate an official searchable Kittson County jail roster. That means current custody should be confirmed by phone before travel, mail, bond planning, or a visit. The county location shown for Sheriff and county offices is 410 5th St. S, Hallock, MN 56728.
The absence of an online roster does not mean the county has no custody records. It means the public access path is direct contact with the Sheriff or a law-enforcement data request, subject to Minnesota corrections, detention, juvenile, medical, security, and investigative restrictions. Court charge records after arrest are separate from jail custody. If a person has moved from local custody into a filed criminal case, the court side may appear in Kittson County arrest records and charges.
The official Kittson County Sheriff page is the local source for Sheriff contact information and published visiting hours.
That page is more useful for current local custody than a third-party roster because it points to the office responsible for jail operations.
How to Confirm Kittson County Current Custody
Because no official Kittson County online jail roster was found, the workable roster process is a fallback sequence. Use it to avoid confusing local custody with state supervision, a court charge record, or a statewide criminal history result.
- Gather the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, and any recent arrest, citation, or court file number.
- Call the Kittson County Sheriff at 218-843-3535 and ask whether the person is in current local custody.
- Ask whether visitation, mail, money, or release questions require a specific jail staff contact or callback time.
- If a court case is already filed, check MCRO or call Court Administration at (218) 843-3632 for the court file and next hearing.
- If the person was sentenced to prison or released under state supervision, use the Minnesota DOC locator instead of the county jail channel.
- Before traveling to Hallock, confirm that custody status has not changed and that an officer is available for the visit window.
For a suspected warrant rather than confirmed custody, use the Sheriff and Court Administration fallback channels described for Kittson County warrant records.
Minnesota DOC Search Fields for Kittson County Inmate Research
The Minnesota DOC locator is statewide and covers adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections who remain under DOC jurisdiction, including prison and post-prison supervision. It is not a local Kittson County jail roster and may take several business days for newly sentenced people to appear. Use it only when the question is about sentenced or supervised state custody, not an immediate booking at the Kittson County jail.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options or Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search method | Radio or tab | Yes | Name search or MNDOC Offender ID search. |
| First Name | Text | For name search | Use the person's legal first name when known. |
| Last Name | Text | For name search | Use exact spelling when possible. |
| MNDOC Offender ID | Text | For ID search | Best when the DOC number is known. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the DOC lookup. |
| New Search | Button or link | n/a | Returns from details to a new lookup. |
The Minnesota DOC offender locator is the correct state tool after DOC jurisdiction begins.
The locator can help with post-sentence status, but it should not be used to decide whether someone is in the Kittson County jail today.
The broader DOC search page for individuals and fugitives is available through the Minnesota Department of Corrections search page.
That statewide page reinforces the same limit: DOC tools are for DOC custody, supervision, or listed state searches, not a county booking roster.
What a Kittson County Inmate Profile May Show
Because Kittson County does not publish an official online inmate profile in the located sources, the table below separates information commonly requested from the jail from information that may appear in court or DOC systems. Some fields may be withheld, unavailable, or confirmed only by phone.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identity | The person in custody or under DOC jurisdiction, subject to identity verification and spelling limits. |
| Booking or custody status | Whether the person is currently held locally, released, transferred, or not in Kittson custody. |
| Arrest or booking date | The local intake date if the Sheriff can release it under applicable data rules. |
| Charges or court file number | Filed accusations and court case numbers may be confirmed through District Court records. |
| Bond or release conditions | May be a court matter and should be checked with Court Administration or official court records. |
| Hearing information | Initial appearance, arraignment, pretrial, review, or probation violation hearing details if public. |
| DOC status | For state-sentenced adults, DOC can show offender ID, current status, release date, and sentence information. |
| Visitation eligibility | Local jail visit availability, which depends on officer availability and advance arrangements. |
Kittson County Sheriff and Jail Contact Card
The research did not locate a separate jail facility address, jail capacity, or online roster page published by Kittson County. The Sheriff page and county footer point users to the courthouse/county location in Hallock and the direct Sheriff phone. Use that contact before sending mail, visiting, depositing money, or assuming an online vendor exists.

Booking, Court Appearance, and Case Number Connections
After an arrest in Kittson County, a person may be booked through the Sheriff or jail if held locally. The court process is separate and moves through Kittson County District Court. The public court calendar research shows hearing types such as initial appearance, arraignment, pretrial, probation violation, and review hearing. Those entries can help connect custody questions to filed charges, bond conditions, and the next court date.
Case numbers in Kittson court records use the county prefix 35, a case category such as CR for criminal, the filing year, and a sequence number. A custody question without a case number should start with the Sheriff. A court appearance, charge, bond, or sentence question usually needs Court Administration or MCRO. If the person is sentenced to state prison or released under DOC supervision, the local jail channel is no longer the main source.
Kittson County Jail Visitation Hours and Rules
Kittson County publishes a specific jail visiting schedule and two important caveats. Visitors must call one day in advance to make arrangements, and all visiting hours depend on officer availability. Those caveats should be treated as part of the schedule, not optional notes.
| Visit Type or Day | Schedule | How to Arrange | Restrictions Located |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday and Wednesday | 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. | Call 218-843-3535 one day in advance. | Officer availability controls. |
| Thursday | 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. | Call 218-843-3535 one day in advance. | Officer availability controls. |
| Sunday | 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. | Call 218-843-3535 one day in advance. | Officer availability controls. |
| Attorney visits | No separate official schedule located. | Call Sheriff or jail. | Do not infer public-visit limits without confirmation. |
| Video visitation | No official vendor or schedule located. | Call Sheriff or jail. | No online video provider was confirmed in official Kittson sources. |
Visit note: Call before traveling because a published visiting window can still depend on officer availability.
Mail, Phone, and Contact Methods for Kittson County Inmates
The official research did not locate Kittson County jail mail formatting rules, book-in number requirements, a mail-scanning provider, a phone or tablet service, or a video visit vendor. That is a useful access fact because it prevents readers from sending money or mail through a guessed vendor. Call the Sheriff at 218-843-3535 before sending mail, books, packages, funds, or making travel plans.
The Minnesota corrections and detention data statute affects public access to jail and detention information.
That legal framework is why some inmate details can be public while medical, security, juvenile, or investigative information remains restricted.
Commissary and Inmate Funds in Kittson County
No official Kittson commissary vendor, online deposit portal, kiosk, deposit limit, or fee schedule was located in the research. Do not assume that a national jail-payment vendor serves Kittson County unless the Sheriff confirms it. The safest path is to call the jail before sending money and ask what payment methods, recipient details, limits, and restrictions currently apply.
The Minnesota county jail roster statute is part of the public jail roster context for county custody information.
The statute supports the public nature of roster information while still leaving Kittson's actual access method as direct Sheriff contact because no online roster was found.
DOC, BCA, and Registrant Searches Are Not the Kittson County Jail Roster
The DOC locator, DOC public registrant search, and BCA public criminal history search each answer a different question. DOC covers adults under DOC jurisdiction. The public registrant search concerns public-notification predatory registrants and is not a full registry of all compliant registrants. BCA public criminal history gives statewide public conviction history and is not proof of current jail custody.
The DOC public registrant search is one state-level search channel, but it is not a general Kittson County inmate roster.
For current Kittson custody, the Sheriff remains the controlling contact even when a state search tool returns a separate public record.
