Fillmore County VINELink Coverage
Minnesota VINE, short for Victim Information and Notification Everyday, receives custody data from Minnesota county jails and detention facilities. That makes it the right notification layer for a person held by the Fillmore County Jail or Fillmore County Adult Detention Center. The service is free on the web and by telephone at 1-877-664-8463. It can report a jail custody status, the housing facility, booking details, and a scheduled release when the jail supplies that field.
Its scope stops at the county-jail boundary. Minnesota VINE does not connect to Minnesota Department of Corrections prisons. A person transferred from Fillmore County to state prison should be checked through the MN DOC Offender Search, while custody and release notices for a DOC prisoner or person under DOC supervision come through Minnesota Haven. A federal prisoner belongs in the BOP system. Choosing the wrong tool can make a valid record look absent.

Search Fillmore County VINELink Records
Start with the official Minnesota VINELink portal. A name can be entered in full or in part. A facility or offender identification number is a stronger search key when it is known. Search results must still be matched to the right person and the right jail. Similar names, aliases, suffixes, and spelling differences can produce uncertainty, so compare each identifier that the result supplies.
- Open the Minnesota portal and select the search function.
- Enter the person’s name or facility/offender identification number. Try a permitted partial name if the full form fails.
- Review all matches, then compare the facility and available identifiers. Do not use a photo as the only identity check.
- Open the matching record and read the exact custody status, housing facility, booking or facility ID, and scheduled release field if present.
- If the record reports release, transfer, or another change, save the event label and time. Confirm the legal date and basis with Fillmore County.
A blank result proves little. The person may be outside the service’s scope, the spelling may differ, an event may not have reached the feed, or an older entry may no longer be returned. For a full county search path and the formal release-record request, use the Fillmore County released inmate search. That path starts with the custody system instead of treating one missing result as a conclusion.
Note: Search by a booking or facility identifier when possible, because a shared name is not enough to establish a reliable match.
Fillmore County VINE Release Fields
Each field answers a limited question. Custody status describes what VINE last received. Facility identifies the reporting jail or detention site. A facility ID ties the notice to the booking record. Scheduled release is shown only when the supplying jail provides it, and it remains a future field rather than proof that the person left. A released label is a custody-change report, not the county’s legal release entry.
| VINE field or event | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Current custody status | The latest status received from the supplying county facility. |
| Housing facility | The jail or detention site linked to that VINE record. |
| Booking or facility ID | An identifier that helps separate people with similar names. |
| Scheduled release | A planned date if Fillmore County supplies one; it is not a completed event. |
| Release or bond release | A reported end to that jail custody event, subject to agency confirmation. |
| Transfer | Movement to another custodian, not release to the community. |
| Unsupervised custody | A label that can include work release or electronic home monitoring, not final discharge. |
The service can also report court-ordered release, escape, death, record purging, outage, and other custody changes. Transfer notices may be delayed while records move. None of these fields proves that a second hold does not exist. The Fillmore County Sheriff’s release or transfer data remain the source for the date, time, legal basis, and receiving agency.

Register Fillmore County Release Alerts
Registration begins on the matching person record. Available choices may include phone, email, text, an app, or an in-app method. An account is optional, and the state material says a name is not required to create one. A phone registration uses a personal identification number, or PIN, to confirm receipt and manage the alert. Keep it in a safe place.
- Open the verified record and select the registration or notification option.
- Choose the phone, email, text, app, or in-app route offered for that record.
- Enter the destination and review it for errors before saving.
- Create and retain the PIN when registering for telephone calls.
- Enter the PIN when a call arrives. This tells the system that the notice was received.
- Use the PIN to change or cancel a phone alert. For a lost PIN, call 1-866-277-7477.
Published release calls normally repeat every 30 minutes for as long as 24 hours until the PIN confirms receipt. If a call is answered without confirmation, later attempts may shift to every two hours. Voicemail does not stop the calls. Nonemergency calls occur between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. These are notification patterns, not a promise that every local update will arrive at a fixed minute.
Note: Retain the event wording from an alert, since “transfer,” “release,” and “unsupervised custody” describe different outcomes.
Fillmore County VINE Phone Alerts
Fillmore County’s own jail FAQ gives the local VINE number and describes automated telephone notice for release, transfer, or escape. This local layer matters because it confirms that Minnesota VINE is part of the county-jail path, not just a general state resource. The same FAQ also warns users not to depend on VINE alone.
The state split is equally important. County jails send events to VINE. MN DOC uses Haven for state prison and DOC-supervision notice. If a Fillmore County name disappears from the jail roster because the person was committed to the Commissioner of Corrections, a county VINE transfer event and a later DOC result can both be correct. The first marks movement out of local custody; the second identifies the state system that followed.
Fillmore County VINE Timing Limits
County updates typically reach Minnesota VINE every 15 or 30 minutes, but outages and source conditions can add delay. The Fillmore County roster operates on a separate daily update and can move at a different pace. If VINE says “in custody” while the roster no longer lists the person, compare timestamps first. A call to the jail and the underlying event record resolve the conflict better than choosing the faster-looking screen.
A court record runs on another clock. A judge may authorize release, set bond, or impose a sentence before the Fillmore County Jail completes its own checks and paperwork. MCRO can explain the order, while Minnesota VINE can report a later custody change and the jail can document the completed event. Keep all three labels intact. A bond order is not the same as a VINE bond-release notice, and neither should be changed into a precise door-release time without the jail record. This distinction also helps when a second agency has placed a hold.
Federal custody requires a different route. VINELink does not track BOP inmates. The BOP locator can show a past release date with “Released” or “Not in BOP Custody,” yet that does not rule out state, local, immigration, or supervision authority. A person transferred to ICE also falls outside the county VINE archive question. The ICE locator is mainly for current custody and a missing record does not establish release.
Finally, Minnesota’s predatory offender registry is not a general release search. Its data are largely nonpublic, with narrow exceptions. Use VINE for a known Fillmore County jail event, Haven for DOC notice, and the correct agency record for confirmation.

Confirm Fillmore County VINE Results
Call the Fillmore County Jail at 507-765-3874 with the full name, date of birth, and booking number or MNI if known. Ask whether that booking ended, when it ended, the legal basis, and whether another agency received custody. Minnesota law treats core release and transfer fields as public arrest data. If the phone response cannot provide the detail, use the county data request for the existing entry.
For a state prison case, read the MN DOC status literally. “Incarcerated” means the person is in state custody. “Under Supervision” means prison release occurred while DOC jurisdiction continues. Full discharge can remove a person from the public locator, so DOC Central Records and the court record become the fallback. The exact custody whose end is being checked should always be named.
A good record trail keeps the VINE alert time and label, the jail response or release entry, and any court or DOC record that explains the next stage. That method preserves the difference between a jail release, a transfer, prison release to supervision, and final sentence discharge.
