Rice County Jail and Annex

The Rice County Jail is led by the jail administrator, assistant jail administrator, jail program assistant, three sergeants and 21 correctional officers spread out over two facilities with a potential 71-bed capacity.

Correctional officers also assist with transportation of prisoners and courthouse security.

Construction of a Rice County Public Safety Center, which will include a 76-bed jail, is underway. The facility, on Hwy 3 on Faribault's northern edge, is expected to open in fall 2024. Learn more about the project here.
