Search Rock County Inmates
Since Rock County inmates are held at the Nobles County Jail, there are two main ways to search. First, check the Nobles County inmate listing online.

On VINELink, try searching under both Rock County and Nobles County. Sometimes the system lists the inmate under the county where the arrest happened. Other times it shows the county where they are held. Search by name or offender ID. VINELink also lets you register for alerts when someone's custody status changes. Call 1-877-MN-4-VINE (1-877-664-8463) for the phone version.
You can also call the Rock County Sheriff's Office at (507) 283-5000. They can check whether someone was arrested by their deputies and where that person is being held.
Note: Because Rock County inmates are housed at the Nobles County Jail, their records may appear under Nobles County on some search tools.
