Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Minnesota Correctional Facility - Rush City
To find someone at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Minnesota inmate records are usually searched by name or state offender number. A county jail roster commonly lists a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status; for a state prison, the record may instead show the inmate’s assigned facility, sentence information, custody status, and release-related dates. New arrest or transfer records may take several hours to process and may not appear immediately after intake. If a person was just arrested in Chisago County, check the county jail roster first, because newly arrested people are normally processed at a county jail before any state prison placement.
