Why This Reference Exists
Public-record rules can be hard to use when the arresting agency, the jail, and the court are different offices. Murray County's regional arrangement makes that especially clear: a Murray arrest can lead to custody at Lyon County Jail in Marshall. We collect official links and explain which custodian addresses each stage without presenting a roster or a booking image ourselves.
State law may classify some arrest and booking data as public, but a classification does not promise an online result or an unredacted record. The responsible office decides what it maintains and what it can release. Court records answer different questions from a current jail roster.
What Is Available Here
Our content is organized around the actual Murray access routes and their limits.
- The county record route, including the Lyon current-custody path and public-data requests.
- City-specific pages for Slayton, Fulda, and Chandler that identify their local agency routing.
- Official court, Minnesota Department of Corrections, federal, and immigration custody boundaries.
- Local-news context that is clearly separated from official booking and court sources.
What We Cannot Do
We are not part of the Murray County Sheriff, Lyon County Jail, Minnesota Department of Corrections, court system, or another government office. We cannot release or transfer a person in custody, post bond, schedule a visit, obtain an official record on someone else's behalf, or provide legal advice. We also cannot promise that an office's phone number, form, fee, or online tool has not changed.
Only the responsible agency, jail, or court can confirm current custody, a releasable booking record, or a case status. Use the official source for a current answer.
