Olmsted County Adult Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Olmsted County Adult Detention Center Overview

The Olmsted County Adult Detention Center, often shortened to ADC, is operated by the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office at 101 4th Street SE, Rochester, MN 55904-3719. For Dodge County users, the important point is that the current Dodge County in-custody roster is hosted under Olmsted County's public web applications, and the Minnesota Judicial Branch Dodge County contact page lists a jail channel for Olmsted County. That is why a Dodge County detainee search may lead to a Rochester detention facility even when the arrest happened in Mantorville, Kasson, Dodge Center, Hayfield, Claremont, West Concord, or a Dodge County township.

The ADC is a maximum-security, direct-supervision adult detention center. It houses males and females and can hold pre-sentenced detainees, sentenced detainees, boarders, work-release detainees, and detainees for federal, state, and county agencies when room is available. A related Olmsted County Work Release Facility at 140 4th Street SE, Rochester, serves minimum-security and work-release functions and is also used for on-site video visitation arrival and inmate-fund kiosk access.

The official Olmsted ADC overview identifies the facility's address, capacity, direct-supervision model, work-release facility, and programming role.

Olmsted County Adult Detention Center Capacity and Population

Olmsted County's official ADC materials list 202 rated beds. The facility opened in 1993 with 100 beds and later expanded to 202. The Work Release Facility opened in 2003. The research snapshot observed 12 named entries on the Dodge County current in-custody roster during inspection on June 18, 2026, but that is a Dodge-only roster snapshot and should not be treated as the full ADC population or compared to the 202-bed facility capacity as an occupancy rate.

Dodge-specific jail demographic breakdowns, such as current pretrial/sentenced split, race and ethnicity, age bands, average length of stay, or annual bookings, were not published in the official Dodge or Olmsted public sources reviewed. Use the roster as a custody list, not as a demographic report.

How to Look Up a Dodge County Inmate at the ADC

For a Dodge County arrest, start with the Current Dodge County In Custodies list hosted by Olmsted County. The general Olmsted ADC list can help when the question is broader facility custody, but the Dodge-specific list is the better first stop for Dodge County detainees. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public locator instead of the jail roster. Federal and immigration custody use separate BOP and ICE channels.

1. Open the Dodge County current in-custody list hosted by Olmsted County.
2. Search by first or last name, or use the alphabet filters if the list is easier to browse that way.
3. Read the booking date, incarceration reason, custody status, and listed charges carefully.
4. Confirm whether the person is connected to the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center and whether any line shows a lodger or other-agency context.
5. For formal charges and hearings, search MCRO and select Dodge County; for state-prison sentences, search MNDOC.

The jail roster and court record answer different questions. The roster shows current custody information while it is publicly listed. MCRO shows many court records after charges are filed. BCA CHS is the public conviction-history channel. MNDOC covers adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections, including some people released from prison but still under supervision.

Olmsted County Adult Detention Center Address and Contact

Use the ADC phone for detention operations and facility questions. Use Dodge County Sheriff's Office Records for Dodge sheriff records and local public-data requests. The Minnesota court contact page also lists "Jail (Olmsted County)" at 507-285-8320, but the ADC's own official pages publish 507-328-6790 as the main ADC phone.

Visiting Someone at Olmsted County Adult Detention Center

Social visits use video visitation through ICSolutions. All video visits are recorded and may be monitored. Visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Detainees may have one 20-minute free on-site visit per day, while off-site video visits are not limited in the same way by the research source. On-site visitors arrive at the Work Release Facility, 140 4th Street SE, at least 10 minutes before the appointment with a valid picture ID and the ICSolutions confirmation code.

The Olmsted County visitation instructions explain ICSolutions scheduling, device options, visit limits, and the Work Release Facility arrival point.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Olmsted County Adult Detention Center

Friends and family cannot call detainees directly. Detainees call out through ICSolutions prepaid phone service. Personal mail is searched and digitally delivered. Mail must be addressed to the Olmsted County Jail scanning address in Jonesboro, Arkansas, with the inmate's name and inmate number. Email and photos use JailATM.com. Deposits use Inmate Canteen online or kiosks at the Work Release Facility and ADC.

The official contact page for ADC detainees provides the mail format, phone vendor, JailATM message process, and support numbers.

The Olmsted County deposit page identifies Inmate Canteen, kiosk locations, accepted payment types, and the $500 account cap.

Bail for Dodge County Detainees Held at the ADC

Bail posting depends on timing. During business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. excluding holidays, a person posting bail for a detainee held at the ADC goes to Court Administration at the Olmsted County Government Center, 5th Floor, 151 Fourth Street SE, Rochester, MN 55904. The court accepts cash, money order, or credit card during that process. The payer must bring the bail receipt to the ADC because the receipt is required before release.

After hours, the payer brings exact cash, money order, or a bond from a bail bondsman to the ADC door in the circle drive of the Government Center, enters the lobby, and picks up the telephone receiver on the wall. A deputy answers questions and collects the amount needed for release. Personal checks and credit cards are not accepted after hours. The ADC cannot make change. If a person claims responsibility for someone's care by driving the released detainee home, the driver must pass a breath test to prove sobriety.

The official Olmsted County bail page gives the business-hours route, after-hours door instructions, payment limits, and receipt requirement.

Booking and Intake at Olmsted County Adult Detention Center

A Dodge County arrest can involve local law enforcement first and the Olmsted-hosted custody system second. The roster may show the person's name, booking date, incarceration reason, detainee description, charge descriptions, charge level, and in many cases a booking photo with a photo date. Those are custody records, not final court outcomes. If the Dodge County Attorney files charges, the court case appears through Dodge County District Court and many public entries are searchable in MCRO.

Holds, warrants, and boarder or lodger status can complicate release. A person may be physically held at the ADC while the underlying case, warrant, or agency responsibility belongs to Dodge County or another authority. When release timing matters, verify with the ADC, the Dodge County Sheriff's Office, and Dodge County District Court rather than relying on a single online line item.

Programs, Direct Supervision, and Facility Operations

Olmsted County describes direct supervision as a behavior-management model supported by the physical setting. A detention deputy continually supervises detainees in the housing unit and uses rewards and consequences to manage conduct. The county says this approach reduces assaults, extortion, lawsuits, vandalism, noise, stress, and behavior problems while making staff more responsive and confident.

The ADC offers educational, recreational, and religious programming. Community volunteers provide education, counseling, library, and religious services. Rochester Public Schools provides Adult Basic Education and GED teachers. Food service, vending, detainee phones, and health care are contracted services, and a mental-health team manages detainees who present challenges due to illness. The Work Release Facility is available only when a person is sentenced and court-ordered by a judge for work release, and it houses work-release, sentenced-to-service, and minimum-security detainees.

Minnesota Rules chapter 2911 governs local adult detention facility standards, including classification, staffing, supervision, admissions, security, inmate rights, health services, logs, and population practices. For people sentenced to state prison after a Dodge County felony case, the ADC is not the final prison locator. Search the MNDOC public locator and use Minnesota Haven or VINELink-style custody notifications where supported.
