Questions About This Resource
Messages about a technical issue, an incorrect link, or the private resource may be sent through the site’s available contact channel. Do not send sensitive personal information, court documents, or urgent law-enforcement information through a general website contact form. A response from this private resource is not an official record response.
Current County Custody
For immediate custody, booking timing, or release-status questions, contact the Steele County Detention Center. The county identifies the detention center at 2500 Alexander St., Owatonna, MN 55060, with a 507-446-7000 phone number. The official current inmate roster is a county-hosted PDF and may not reflect a change immediately. The detention center is better placed to address a present-status question.
