How do I search for someone in Wadena County custody?

To locate an inmate detained in Wadena County, use the custody roster directory above or check the primary detention facility portal. You will generally need the individual's full legal name and date of birth or booking number to verify current housing status.

What information is needed to locate an inmate?

At minimum, the individual's legal first and last name is required. Having additional identifiers such as their date of birth, booking number, or arrest date ensures faster and more accurate verification.

How do I deposit money into an inmate's commissary account?

Funds can generally be added to an inmate's commissary account online via approved electronic payment providers, through electronic kiosks in the facility lobby, or by mailing a postal money order clearly marked with the inmate's full name and booking ID.

What are the rules for sending mail to an inmate?

Incoming mail must be addressed with the inmate's full legal name and booking ID, accompanied by a complete return address. Letters must be on plain paper; contraband, polaroids, stickers, cash, and scented items are strictly prohibited by facility security.
