This site is a private guide, not a Swift County office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, approve a release, post bond, retrieve an official booking record, or change a government record. Use the official offices and public systems below for those tasks.

Match the question to the system that holds that kind of record:
- For someone held in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the Swift County LETG roster at mail.co.swift.mn.us/jail/custody.html.
- For booking-photo context, use jail roster mugshots and the Minnesota law-enforcement data rules for public booking photographs.
- For charges and hearing records after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, MCRO, or Swift County Court Administration.
- For Minnesota public conviction history, use the BCA Public Criminal History Search. It is not a jail roster and does not replace MCRO or the Swift County booking list.
- For facility-specific details, use the Swift County Jail and Prairie Correctional Facility pages linked in the footer.
- For someone sentenced to state prison or supervised by Minnesota corrections, use the MNDOC Public Viewer at coms.doc.state.mn.us/publicviewer.
- For federal prison custody, use the BOP locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For custody-status notifications, use Minnesota VINELink.
