Notes on the record
- DEAD SITE: the Sheriff's Office domain mcsheriffoffice.org (used in every published Marshall County Sheriff email address, e.g. dispatch.mcso@mcsheriffoffice.org and jail.admin@mcsheriffoffice.org) resolves to a parked-domain lander page with no content.
- NO JAIL NAME PUBLISHED BY THE COUNTY: the county's sheriff page refers only to 'the County Jail'. The state calls it the 'MARSHALL COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY' (DET-077).
- NO COUNTY-PUBLISHED ROSTER: the county page's 'Inmate Custody Status' link points to the third-party VINELink service (www.vinelink.com), not a county-published roster, so the roster check is recorded as false.
- No public trust or jail authority found for Marshall County.
- The county does NOT publish inspection reports itself. No capacity, no PREA policy, no death reporting, no bond schedule (its /fees page has no bond section), and no jail contracts (its /bids page shows no active bids).
- The /fees page does publish a County Sheriff fee section (fingerprints $5, civil service fee $50, handgun licence fingerprints $25, incident report fee $2).
- One of the few counties in this group with a dedicated 'Office of the Commissioners' page in addition to the three district pages.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Marshall County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
