How to Find an Inmate at Minnesota Correctional Facility - Red Wing
To find someone held here, use the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster or the appropriate Minnesota Department of Corrections search tool. Public custody records typically list the person’s name, identifying details, booking or admission date, current custody status, and case or charge information when it is available for public release.

New admissions do not always appear right away; processing can take several hours, and records may not be searchable immediately after arrival.
