This is not a government office. Murray County Released Inmates is a private reference site. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody or released, release anyone, post bond, or pull an official booking or discharge record. Contact the government office responsible for the record or custody event.
Official Murray Record Contacts
Choose the office by the last known custody system. Murray County Jail is the local source for its own admission, release, discharge, property, good-time, and transfer records. A person boarded in Lyon County creates a second physical-custody record in Marshall. An executed state-prison sentence belongs to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, while the Murray court file explains bond, sentence, probation, dismissal, warrants, and other legal events.

The research does not establish a stable current public phone number or office schedule. Verify both through the live Murray County directory before calling or visiting. Ask for the existing admission, release, discharge, or transfer record tied to the booking.
Murray County uses Lyon County Jail to board some prisoners. When Murray names Lyon as the destination, contact Lyon about the physical booking and exit, and contact Murray about the originating arrest, transport, and court link.
Lyon County Jail
611 West Main Street
Marshall, MN 56258
Confirm the current telephone number and records hours through Lyon County. Ask whether the final event was release to the community, return to Murray, transfer to DOC, or movement to another agency.
A state-prison record is handled through the statewide DOC system, not either county jail. Public Viewer is the first check for a person still under DOC jurisdiction. Central Records can explain sentence, release, and discharge information that a live result does not make clear.

The official DOC county table assigns Murray County to the Marshall office for community-supervision routing. The office location does not identify a released person's residence, and staff may be unable to disclose private supervision details.
Use the Murray County District Court for the criminal case record. The court can address access to its public Register of Actions and documents, but the holding jail or DOC remains the source for the completed physical release.

These routes cover the most common release and records questions:
- For a Murray County release record, start with the full released-inmate search and records path, then contact the jail that physically held the person.
- For county-jail status or an alert, use Minnesota VINE or call 877-664-8463. VINE is not a permanent archive.
- For DOC custody or supervised-release notifications, use Minnesota Haven through DOC notification guidance. Victim Assistance can be reached at 1-800-657-3830 or victimassistance.doc@state.mn.us.
- For probation or supervised-release routing, use the Marshall field office and the Murray post-release supervision reference.
- For a federal prison record, use the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. A federal pretrial or USMS record may require the federal case and the responsible Marshals district.
- For current civil immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. A county release to ICE is a transfer, not a community release.
- For a problem with private-site wording or a broken navigation link, a message addressed to Murray County Released Inmates may report that site issue only. It cannot serve as a records request or government contact.
Keep an OID, booking number, court file number, approximate custody date, and full identity details available when appropriate. Do not send protected medical, financial, victim, security, or unrelated personal data merely to make a request seem complete. Each agency can respond only for the records it maintains and the information Minnesota law permits it to disclose.
