Frontier County Jail Roster Overview
No official Frontier County jail roster, booking report, current-inmate search page, or sheriff-hosted inmate profile system was located on the official county website. The Frontier County Sheriff's Office page says Sheriff Michael Jordan's office manages the county jail and gives the public sheriff number as 308-367-4411. That number is the practical starting point for immediate custody questions because the county does not publish a separate booking desk number, jail records unit, or online inmate list.
The official Frontier County Sheriff's Office page is the county source that ties the sheriff's office to jail management and publishes the main contact number.
Because that page does not expose a roster module or booking list, the sheriff contact remains a phone and records-request route rather than an online inmate-search portal.
The sheriff page links to an "Inmate Population Search - State of Nebraska," but that link points to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration records search. NDCS is useful after a person has been sentenced to state prison. It is not a live Frontier County Jail roster, and it should not be used as proof that a person is or is not currently held in the county jail.
The county site also did not publish a sheriff app, active-warrant list, jail visitation schedule, inmate mail format, money-deposit vendor, or commissary instructions. Those gaps matter because many jail-search sites imply that every county has the same roster tools. Frontier County does not. A reliable search has to follow the agency path: sheriff for local custody and booking records, County Clerk routing for public-records questions, NEVCAP for victim/offender notification, JUSTICE and the court calendar for filed cases, NDCS for sentenced state prisoners, and BOP or ICE for federal custody categories.
How to Find Someone in the Frontier County Jail
Because there is no official public roster form to open, the search is a fallback chain rather than a single name-search screen. Start with the person's full legal name, approximate arrest or booking date, date of birth if known, and any case number, citation number, or court date. Keep the custody question separate from the court-record question: the sheriff confirms jail status, while the court tools show filed cases and hearings after the arrest reaches court.
- Call the Frontier County Sheriff's Office at 308-367-4411 and ask whether the person is currently held at Frontier County Jail, released, transferred to another county jail, or transferred to NDCS.
- If the person may have been sentenced to state prison, search the NDCS incarceration records by last name or DCS ID. First name can narrow results.
- Check NEVCAP, Nebraska's victim/offender notification portal, for custody-notification information that may be available statewide.
- For filed criminal cases, search Nebraska JUSTICE or the Nebraska court calendar. JUSTICE has a 24-hour lag after a new case is entered and charges a fee to view returned case details.
- If the person is not in the local or NDCS channels, use the BOP inmate locator for federal sentenced prisoners and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
- When the answer depends on a booking sheet, jail log, release record, or other document, send a public-records request to the Sheriff's Office or route it through the Frontier County Clerk FOI page if the correct department is unclear.
Frontier County Roster Search Fields
Frontier County does not provide a county-hosted search box for current jail inmates. That means there are no verified local fields for last name, first name, booking number, date range, charge, or facility filter. The table below separates the unavailable local roster from the state and court systems that may help after a local arrest.
| Channel | Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontier County local roster | Not available | n/a | No official county-hosted roster form or searchable current-inmate page was located. |
| NDCS incarceration records | Last Name or DCS ID | Yes | Used for sentenced Nebraska state prisoners, not the county jail roster. |
| NDCS incarceration records | First Name | No | Narrows name-search results after a last name is entered. |
| Nebraska JUSTICE | Party name, court type, case type, county, year | Depends on search | Searches court cases, not live jail custody. General case details cost $2. |
| Nebraska court calendar | Court type, county or district, search type, search value | Yes | Searches current and future calendar entries by date or last name. |
| BOP locator | Register number or name fields | Depends on search | Federal prison locator for people in BOP custody from 1982 to present. |
| ICE ODLS | A-number and country, or biographical fields | Depends on search | Immigration detention locator; it is not a county jail roster. |
What a Frontier County Inmate Record May Show
No official Frontier County public inmate profile was found, so the county should not be described as publishing mugshots, booking numbers, charges, bond amounts, housing units, or release dates online. Those details may exist in the jail's internal records or in court records, but access depends on the record type, the holding agency, and Nebraska public-records limits. Nebraska jail data specifications show what categories local jail systems report to state systems; they do not prove that every field is posted for public viewing.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number | A unique jail booking identifier if provided by the sheriff or state jail data system; no public Frontier County format was located. |
| Booking date/time | The date and time of admission to jail, a core booking data element in Nebraska jail reporting. |
| Name and identifiers | Subject first, middle, and last name; date of birth, age, sex, race, height, and weight may be held in jail data, but public release varies. |
| Custody status | Whether a person is held, released, transferred, or otherwise no longer in local custody; confirm directly with the sheriff for immediate status. |
| Charges and statute code | Booking or arrest allegations may differ from charges later filed by the County Attorney and displayed in court records. |
| Bond | Bond is defined locally as money or property promised or given to secure return to court; verify exact amount and posting method with the sheriff and court. |
| Court case | Filed cases, hearing dates, register of actions, and dispositions are court records searched through JUSTICE, the calendar, or court offices. |
Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates
Frontier County Jail is a local adult detention facility operated by the sheriff. It is the place to ask about local pretrial detainees, short county commitments, recent bookings, bond, release, and local transfers. NDCS is a different system for sentenced state prisoners. Federal and immigration custody are separate again, and neither BOP nor ICE serves as a Frontier County roster.
| Custody | Where to Look | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short county sentence | Frontier County Sheriff's Office, 308-367-4411 | The county has no public roster, so current custody starts with the sheriff. |
| Sentenced Nebraska state prisoner | NDCS incarceration records | NDCS covers state prison custody, classification, prison facility assignment, and prison records. |
| Victim/offender notification | NEVCAP | NEVCAP is Nebraska's victim/custody notification portal, not a county mugshot gallery. |
| Filed court case | JUSTICE and court calendar | These tools show case and hearing information after filing, not real-time jail housing. |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | BOP inmate locator | BOP results use federal identifiers and federal facility locations. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS | ICE ODLS is for immigration detention searches in a browser. |
Frontier County Jail Facility
The facility map for this project contains one local detention facility: Frontier County Jail. Official sources did not identify a state prison, BOP institution, ICE detention center, regional jail, separate city jail, work-release annex, or municipal lockup in Frontier County. The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services facilities list places state prisons elsewhere in Nebraska, including cities such as Lincoln, Omaha, York, and Tecumseh.
Frontier County Jail

No official physical jail entrance, public lobby schedule, rated capacity, visitation schedule, inmate-mail format, or deposit vendor was published in the sources reviewed.
Booking Process in Frontier County
Local booking-process instructions were not published by the sheriff, so the accurate description must stay cautious. A Frontier County arrest may be made by the sheriff, Nebraska State Patrol, or another agency and may lead to transport to Frontier County Jail or another accepted holding facility. Booking commonly involves identity verification, property handling, fingerprints and a booking photograph when required, warrant and case checks, medical and security screening, entry of booking and custody data, housing or transfer decisions, phone and bond processing, and release, transfer, or court appearance.
The court path is separate from the jail intake record. The Frontier County Attorney page identifies Whitney Schroeder as County Attorney and describes the office's prosecution duties. The local Attorney FAQ says charges are filed by the County Attorney and can be dropped only by that office, not by a victim. The same local materials define arraignment, bond, preliminary hearing, disposition, no-contact conditions, pretrial conference, and subpoena. For immediate custody status, call the sheriff; for filed charges and court dates, use the court tools or court contacts.
No official Frontier County source gave a time window for when a booking would appear online because no local roster exists. Nebraska JUSTICE states there is a 24-hour lag between entry of a new case and appearance in search, so a court search can miss very recent arrests even after a booking has occurred. The sheriff line remains the faster route for same-day custody, bond, release, and transfer questions.
Visitation Hours and Rules
Frontier County did not publish official visitation, video visitation, attorney-visit, inmate-mail, phone-call, tablet, commissary, or money-deposit instructions on the county pages reviewed. No official vendor such as Securus, GTL/ViaPath, HomeWAV, CIDNET, Access Corrections, JPay, JailATM, or another deposit platform was located. Do not rely on third-party jail directories for schedules or vendor links when the official county sources are silent.
| Topic | Published Frontier County Information | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Not published in official sources reviewed | Current availability, appointment rules, public entrance, ID requirements, visitor limits, minor-child rules, and dress code. |
| Video visits | Not published in official sources reviewed | Whether video visits exist, the vendor, scheduling steps, fees, and device rules. |
| Attorney visits | Not published in official sources reviewed | Professional visitation process, hours, entrance, and proof of representation. |
| Inmate mail | No inmate-specific format found; sheriff mailing address is PO Box 320, Curtis, NE 69025 | Exact name format, booking number use, allowed items, rejected mail, and whether the PO Box is accepted for inmate mail. |
| Money and commissary | No official deposit vendor or money schedule found | Whether cash, money order, kiosk, online deposit, or commissary account is accepted. |
Requesting Frontier County Jail Records
For booking records, jail logs, incident reports, mugshots, custody dates, release details, or related jail records, the most direct request route is the Frontier County Sheriff's Office because the sheriff operates the jail. The Frontier County FOI page says requests should go to the department that holds the records. If the requester does not know which department holds the record, the request may be sent to the County Clerk for routing.
The County Clerk page identifies Darla M. Walther as clerk, lists 308-367-8641 as the clerk phone number, and gives PO Box 40, Stockville, NE 69042 as the clerk mailing address. The FOI page says the receiving department will estimate any fee after the request is routed, and the requester may decide whether to proceed. It also says Nebraska law does not require a requester to state a purpose and does not restrict use of public records. For NDCS records, the state public-records page uses a separate NDCS route and says the agency responds within four business days.
The county's FOI request page is the best official screenshot for the fallback route when a jail record is not available through a public roster.
That routing language is why jail-record requests should start with the sheriff when the record is clearly a booking or custody record, but can go through the Clerk when the holding department is uncertain.
Useful request details include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest or booking date, arresting agency, court case number if known, and the exact record requested. Ask for the record as maintained when possible. If the question is only whether someone is in custody right now, call before sending a written request because written records processing is not the fastest way to confirm a current hold.
How to Contact a Frontier County Inmate
No public inmate phone account instructions, calling vendor, mail vendor, tablet platform, or video messaging system was published for Frontier County Jail. Nebraska Jail Standards materials show that statewide jail standards cover mail, visiting, telephone services, health services, inmate rights, discipline, classification, and admission/release. Those standards provide regulatory context, but they do not create a Frontier County schedule or vendor rule for the public.
Call 308-367-4411 before mailing anything, traveling to the jail, or trying to deposit money. Ask whether the person is still held locally, whether the jail accepts personal mail, whether a booking number must appear on the envelope, what items are prohibited, how legal mail is handled, and whether the sheriff mailing address is the correct inmate-mail address. Also ask whether the person has been transferred, because a transfer changes the mail, phone, money, and visitation rules.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
No official Frontier County page published commissary availability, deposit hours, accepted payment methods, online deposit links, kiosk information, money-order instructions, deposit limits, or fees. State prison money procedures through NDCS apply only after a person enters NDCS custody, not while the person is held as a Frontier County Jail detainee. BOP and ICE have their own federal custody rules and should not be mixed into a local jail money question.
Note: Confirm custody status and the current deposit method with the sheriff before sending money or scheduling a visit.
