Frontier County Jail Overview

Frontier County Jail is the only local detention facility identified in the Frontier County facility map from official sources. It is a county-jail type facility, not a state prison, federal prison, immigration detention center, regional jail, or city lockup. The Frontier County Sheriff's Office page says the office manages the county jail and lists Sheriff Michael Jordan as the sheriff. The same page gives the public sheriff phone number as 308-367-4411, fax 308-367-4268, and mailing address PO Box 320, Curtis, NE 69025.

The jail holds local adult detainees and prisoners when accepted by the sheriff. That can include pretrial detainees after arrest, people held for a court appearance, people held on warrants, short-sentence county jail prisoners, and people awaiting transfer. No official Frontier County page reviewed published a separate jail administrator, jail division page, booking desk number, public lobby hours, or street-address block for the jail.

The official distinction is important. The PO Box is a mailing address, not a verified visitor entrance. A person planning to visit, post bond, serve papers, deliver records, or ask about release should call 308-367-4411 before traveling to confirm where the public transaction is handled.

The manifest includes the official sheriff page screenshot documenting the sheriff contact and jail-management statement.

That sheriff page is the best local starting point because no separate official Frontier County Jail web page was located.

Frontier County Jail Custody Lookup

No official Frontier County Jail roster, current-inmate search, booking report, public mugshot gallery, or jail profile page was located on the county website. The sheriff page links to an "Inmate Population Search - State of Nebraska," but that link points to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration record search. NDCS is useful for sentenced state prisoners. It is not a live Frontier County Jail roster for recent arrests or pretrial custody.

1. Call the Frontier County Sheriff's Office at 308-367-4411 and ask whether the person is currently held, released, transferred, or held for another agency.
2. If the person has been sentenced to Nebraska state prison, search NDCS incarceration records by last name or DCS ID.
3. Check NEVCAP for Nebraska victim notification or offender custody information when a notification search is needed.
4. Use Nebraska JUSTICE or the Nebraska court calendar once the arrest has become a filed case.
5. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS instead of the county jail path.

This fallback chain prevents a common error. A person not found in NDCS may still be in local Frontier County Jail custody, while a person not held by the sheriff may have moved to NDCS, another county jail for safekeeping, federal custody, immigration detention, or release.

Frontier County Jail Contact

The sheriff phone is the first official contact for Frontier County Jail custody, booking, release, bond, visitation, and record-location questions. The official county pages reviewed did not publish a jail street address or a direct jail information line apart from the sheriff's main number. The county seat is Stockville, while the sheriff mailing address is Curtis, so do not assume court and jail tasks occur at the same building.

The Frontier County FOI page says records requests should go to the department in charge of the record. If the requester does not know which department has the record, the request may be sent through the County Clerk for routing. The county says the receiving department will provide an approximate fee and the requester can decide whether to proceed.

Frontier County Jail Capacity

Official Frontier County pages and Nebraska Jail Standards pages reviewed did not publish a rated capacity, current population, average daily population, housing layout, booking-desk volume, or construction history for Frontier County Jail. Unofficial jail directory pages often repeat small bed-count figures, but those are not used here because the verified research source set did not confirm them. For a current population or capacity number, the correct route is the sheriff or an official state jail data source.

Frontier County Jail Standards

Frontier County Jail is within Nebraska's statewide jail standards system. The Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Standards page explains that the Jail Standards Board enforces minimum standards for adult and juvenile detention facilities and that staff conduct annual inspections. Title 81 adult jail standards cover areas such as records and statistics, admission and release, classification, mail, visiting, telephone, health services, inmate rights, discipline, and grievances.

A Jail Standards Board agenda dated April 18, 2025 listed Frontier County Jail in the group of facilities found in full compliance during annual inspection review. That is a dated compliance item, not a permanent guarantee. It should be read as a verified status from that agenda date while current operations remain subject to the sheriff and Jail Standards Board oversight.

The Nebraska Jail Standards screenshot from the manifest shows the state oversight page for county detention facilities.

That statewide oversight is the source for compliance context because Frontier County did not publish a detailed jail operations manual online.

Frontier County Jail Visits

No official Frontier County Jail visitation schedule, lobby hours, video-visit vendor, visitor approval rule, dress code, or public entrance instruction was located in the county source set. The safest local rule is to call the sheriff before scheduling travel or telling a family member to appear at a jail entrance. A visit may be affected by classification, housing, court transport, medical status, attorney access, or whether the person has already been released or transferred.

Frontier County Jail Mail Money

Official Frontier County pages reviewed did not publish an inmate mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit method, phone provider, tablet vendor, e-message service, or deposit fee schedule for Frontier County Jail. The sheriff mailing address is PO Box 320, Curtis, NE 69025, but that does not prove it is the correct inmate-mail format. Sending money or mail without confirming the format can cause delay, return, or rejection.

NDCS has separate statewide visitation, mail, and money rules for sentenced state prisoners. Those rules do not apply to Frontier County Jail detainees unless the person has transferred to NDCS custody.

Frontier County Jail Records

Booking records, jail logs, incident reports, and booking photos should start with the Sheriff's Office because the sheriff operates the jail. Nebraska public-records law generally supports inspection and copying of public records unless an exception applies. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-3521 specifically includes arrest-identification photographs, court records, offense reports, incident reports, and other listed criminal justice records as public for dissemination. Limits can still apply under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-712.05 and after certain outcomes under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-3523.

A focused request should identify the person, approximate arrest or booking date, the record sought, and the preferred form if known. For custody facts that must be known right away, call first. For records that must be copied or reviewed, send the request to the sheriff or use the County Clerk route when the holding department is uncertain.

The Frontier County FOI screenshot from the manifest shows the county request-routing page.

That page is the fallback when an online jail roster does not exist and a written record request is needed.

Frontier County Jail Transfers

Frontier County Jail custody is local custody. A person arrested in the county can later move into a different system, and each system has its own locator. Court filings and hearing dates are checked in Nebraska JUSTICE or the court calendar. Sentenced state prisoners are checked in NDCS. Federal sentenced prisoners are checked in BOP. Immigration detainees are checked in ICE ODLS. Federal pretrial custody may involve U.S. Marshals channels or federal court records rather than a public county roster.

Note: If a person was arrested locally but cannot be found through one system, check whether release, transfer, sentencing, federal custody, or immigration detention changed the lookup route.
