Murray County Jail Inmate Bail & Bonds

Search Murray County Inmate Search first, then call the Sheriff at 507-836-6168. Murray County has no full jail of its own. Its small holding facility in Slayton can keep people for up to 72 hours. A longer stay usually means a bed in Lyon County. The Sheriff's staff can tell you which building holds him on the day you call.

The Sheriff's Office says the county partners with Lyon County to house inmates. Murray County's own holding facility in Slayton is only for stays of up to 72 hours. For you, the practical effect is a trip to Marshall.

No list was found. Minnesota has no statewide schedule, and Policy 524 tells judges not to rely on preset amounts. A judge weighs the offense, evidence, ties to the area, work, money, record and safety. Ask the court at 507-873-7001 what was set in your case rather than relying on rumor.

Yes, if the agent is licensed by the Department of Commerce and approved by the State Court Administrator. Under chapter 60M, the agent must charge the company's filed rate with a $100 minimum, and cannot discount it. A written receipt is required for collateral.

Minnesota has no death penalty, so all defendants can have bail set. A judge can still impose conditions or money bail if release would endanger others or the person might not return. In domestic abuse cases the court can order no contact and a gun surrender. A hold from probation or another county also blocks release.

Cash bail is the defendant's property, even if you paid it. The court administrator holds it until the case is finished, and a judge may use it for a fine or restitution. The balance goes to the defendant or a person named in writing. Keep the receipt from whoever took the money.

Because the person may be in Marshall and you are in Slayton, a caller may say the jail needs money wired today. Real instructions come from the Sheriff at 507-836-6168 or from a licensed agent.
