About the Scott County Jail

The 90,000 square foot, 264-bed Scott County Jail was built in 2005 under Sheriff Dave Menden, replacing the fifty year old, 45 bed jail that preceded it. Both of these facilities in Scott County were built by detention center contractor Pauly Jail Building Company. The current facility, the county's Law Enforcement Center, contains a total of 160 different cells, and houses both sentenced and pre-trial adult male and female offenders. It also detains juvenile offenders for less than a day while transport is arranged to the Scott County Juvenile Alternative Center, certified for juveniles, ages 11-17. The jail also has a full service laundry, kitchen, medical clinic and a courtroom for arraignments to serve the needs of the inmates.

Scott County's population is growing fast; it has gone from under 90,000 people when the jail was built to close to 160,000 in 2023. So while it would appear that they will soon need a new jail to keep up with the growth, the current facility is more than enough space. And even if they did run out of space, which they won't, there is another county jail across the river in Carver County, less than five miles away, that has enough extra beds to handle the overflow. 

The Scott County Jail and Law Enforcement Center is located at 301 Fuller Street South, in Shakopee, MN 55379. You can call the jail 24 hours a day at 952-496-8314 to find out information about an inmate, or the ways to communicate with an inmate while they are there. The Scott County Jail also has an online Inmate Jail Roster that is updated in real time. It provides the county with the offender's mugshot, criminal charges, inmate booking number, MNI, age, and exact date and time of arrest. With this information you can also look up the offender's criminal court case online to keep track of it while it works its way through the courts.

If you wish to collect property from an inmate house at the Scott County Jail, you can pick it up Monday thru Friday during the hours of 8:00AM to 4:30PM. You musty have a valid, government issued photo ID and be the person designated by the inmate to do so. There is a form they need to fill out and sign. One set of clothing must remain at the jail however.

There are also certain items you can drop off for an inmate:

  • Certain medical items and devices that a jail nurse or shift supervisor has authorized.
  • A set of clothing suitable for court or a jury trial once a trial date has been set.
  • Items need for Community Release. These items must be authorized by a jail supervisor.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly. Friends and family of inmates in the Scott County Jail can arrange to visit inmates by video, both at the jail and remotely from home. Friends and family can also communicate using an online text/email system, send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.

All the information on these inmate services can be found in the sections below.  If you still have questions, you can phone the jail 24 hours a day by calling 952-496-8314.
