The Goodhue County Adult Detention Center in Red Wing, Minnesota, is responsible for housing all persons charged with and/or convicted of crimes of all levels in Goodhue County, as well as boarding detainees for other jurisdictions for various reasons. It is a both a pre-trial and a post-conviction facility. Pre-trial detainees include those who have been accused of a crime and are incarcerated pending trial, either because they are unable to pay bail or because they have not been granted bail for their charges. Post-conviction inmates fall into several categories. The first category of post-conviction inmate is the inmate who has been convicted of a crime, but is awaiting sentencing. The second category of post-conviction inmate is sentenced and awaiting transfer to another facility. The third category of post-conviction inmate is the inmate who has been sentenced to a term of less than a year and is serving that term in the local jail facility. Finally, the jail may hold inmates who are serving their sentences at other facilities, but have been transferred to the county jail for various reasons, such as a court appearance.
The Goodhue County Adult Detention Center is a smaller local jail facility, with capacity to hold up to 170 inmates. It holds both male and female adult inmates; juveniles are transported to specialized facilities and are not detained in the Adult Detention Center, even if they are initially presented to the center for processing and transport.
The Goodhue County Adult Detention Center was built to be a state-of-the-art direct supervision facility. It has six housing units. Each housing unit is composed of a number of cells, divided into two levels. The units have common dayrooms for meals and socializing, as well as outdoor day areas so that inmates can get outside exercise and fresh air. The facility is computerized and has a modern surveillance system, which means that there are no bars in the facility. The doors operated electronically and have an emergency key override system.
The detention center is 121,000 square feet. Normal cells are 70 square feet and have two beds; handicap accessible cells are 110 square feet and have one bed. While the total capacity of the facility is 170 inmates, the operating capacity is capped at 153 inmates to allow for movement. There are 26 high security cells in the facility, as well as 6 handicap accessible cells. Any unused cells can be used for boarding detainees from other jurisdictions, though the Goodhue County Adult Detention Facility strives to stay at or below the 153 inmate official operating capacity. Between ½ and ¾ of the inmates at any single time are boarding inmates. These inmates can come from anywhere, but are most frequently from Dakota, Winona, Wabasha, Houston, Dodge, Mower, Fillmore, Freeborn, Rice, and Waseca counties. The jail will accept boards from any in-state facility, as long as they have capacity. The default rate for boarding inmates is $60 per day, though different agencies may negotiate different amounts.

Visitation is a privilege, not a right. An inmate’s ability to get visitors may be impacted by the inmate’s behavior. Inmates in administrative segregation may not be able to receive visitors.
Visitor behavior can also impact the right to visit. Visitors who are disruptive to the facility will not be permitted to visit. Disruptive visitors include those who use profanity, are loud, are threatening, are abusive, or are otherwise putting inmates, the staff, or other visitors in danger.
Visitors should not bring any unnecessary items into the jail for visitation. Handbags, electronics, including cellphones, food, and beverages should be left in the car.

In addition, visitors should wear appropriate undergarments.

Instead, detainees have access to a phone system and are permitted to make outgoing phone calls to family and friends. Family and friends must agree to accept charges for these calls. You may need to arrange to allow your phone to receive collect phone calls, because some phone systems prohibit collect calls.
While inmates are not permitted to receive incoming phone calls, the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center may allow jail staff to inform inmates if they have received information about a genuine emergency. Therefore, if you have a genuine emergency, you can call the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center, explain the emergency to the duty officer, and request that they inform the inmate about the emergency.

You can also purchase phone time for inmates by using the Express Account system. Express Account is the service provider for the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center. You can make deposits into an inmate’s Express Account system in three ways: by phone at 1-866-422-6833; online at www.expressAccount.com; or at the customer service kiosk in the lobby of the Adult Detention Center.
The Goodhue County Adult Detention Center uses the commissary or canteen service to allow inmates to purchase those items that are not provided by the jail. These items include snack foods, personal hygiene items, recreational items, and clothing. Inmates can make these purchased by using money in their inmate trust accounts.
You can deposit money into inmate trust accounts through the Express Account system. Express Account is the service provider for the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center. It operates in the jail, but there are actually three ways to make deposits into the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center inmate trust accounts: by phone at 1-866-422-6833; online at www.expressAccount.com; or at the customer service kiosk in the lobby of the Adult Detention Center.
Purchases through the commissary system also help improve living conditions for all inmates. While some programs are staffed by Goodhue County employees, most of the programs and services offered through the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center are self-supporting and funded through revenues collected from commissary vending services, phone call commissions, and pre-paid phone calls.
You can find out the amount of bail by looking at the inmate roster to see if bail has been set for an inmate’s charges, and the amount of that bail. Bail must be paid for all charges in order to secure an inmate’s release.
There are two ways to pay bail in Goodhue County. The main way is to pay the full amount of a cash bond. If you do this, then the full amount of the bond is refundable as long as a defendant appears at trial and otherwise complies with the conditions of release. If you are unable or unwilling to pay the entire amount of cash bond, then you can use the services of a surety to pay the bond. A surety, otherwise known as a bail bondsman, is a professional that promises the court the full amount of the bond if the defendant fails to appear, but does not actually put up money to the court. In exchange for this promise, the surety charges a non-refundable fee, which is usually around 10% of the bond amount. The Goodhue County Adult Detention Center cannot recommend the services of a particular bail bondsman, but you can find them online or in the Yellow Pages.
Although it is a local jail facility, the Goodhue County Adult Detention Center in Red Wing, Minnesota, strives to provide a significant amount of programming and services to inmates. The goal is to help encourage lifestyle changes that will reduce recidivism and encourage inmates to behave in a pro-social manner. These programs are largely staffed by inmates and are completely funded by revenues from programs like the jail commissary and jail phone call programs.
Before becoming eligible for jail programming, inmates first need to be classified and then assessed. Once an inmate has been assessed, he or she will receive information about the various types of programs and services that are available to help meet his or her needs. Not all inmates will be deemed eligible for all available programs. However, programs include: GED preparation, GED testing, basic computer skills, creative writing, adult basic education, pre-release programming, library services, exercise/fitness programs and education, board games, card games, religious services, anger management, conflict resolution, domestic violence programming, life skills education, cognitive skills, Alcoholics Anonymous, chemical dependency counseling, parenting classes, and job skills training.
