Use the path that matches the record or custody question.
- For someone held at Rice County Jail, start with jail inmate records or call the jail line.
- For booking photographs on the public roster, use jail roster mugshots and the Sheriff's Office records process if the photo is not online.
- For charges, hearings, or case events after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest. Rice County District Court is the local court contact for criminal and traffic case records.
- For facility-specific location, visiting, and custody context, use the Rice County Jail and Minnesota Correctional Facility - Faribault pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Minnesota state prisoner, search the Minnesota Department of Corrections public viewer rather than the county roster.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE's Online Detainee Locator System.
