Keith County Jail Inmate Roster Lookup

Keith County Jail Overview

Keith County Jail is operated by the Keith County Jail and Keith County Sheriff's Office at 103 East 5th St in Ogallala, Nebraska. The official Keith County Jail page says the facility serves Keith, Perkins, and Arthur counties, which makes it the first regional jail to check for many Perkins County Sheriff arrests. Perkins County Board minutes from January 2026 also support the regional custody pattern by reporting Perkins inmates held outside the county.

The jail houses adult offenders age 18 and over. Keith County describes the current jail as a 1978 facility with single-cell capacity for 14 inmates plus two holding cells, compliance with Nebraska Jail Standards and PREA, and a staff structure that includes a chief jailer or lieutenant, a sergeant, and full-time or part-time jailers. The jail environment material gives more detail: the living areas are Orange, Blue, Yellow, and Green pods, with shared day rooms, communal showers, and individual cell spaces that include two holding cells.

The official Keith jail page with address, service area, and capacity details is shown in the captured source image below: Keith County Jail facility page.

Those details matter for Perkins County because a person arrested locally may be booked, visited, bonded, and contacted through the Ogallala jail rather than through a public Perkins-only roster.

Keith County Jail Capacity and Population

Keith County's official jail page lists 14 single-cell spaces plus two holding cells. The jail environment page describes 16 individual-cell spaces including the two holding cells. The JDS current roster snapshot inspected for the research file on June 20, 2026 showed 5 total inmates: 4 male, 1 female, and 0 other. One visible current entry used the arresting agency label "01 Perkins Co So Grant," confirming that a Perkins County Sheriff arrest can appear on the Keith roster.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Keith County Jail

Use the free Keith County current inmate roster for people held at Keith County Jail. It is a current-list roster, not a name-search form, so the practical method is to open the page, check the run date and time, then use browser find for the person's last name. The roster can show JailId, photo column, name, charges, current disposition, total bail, SID number, book date, attorney, next court date, arresting agency, and release date.

1. Open the Keith County current inmate roster and confirm that it is the Keith County list.
2. Use browser find for the last name because the inspected roster did not provide a separate search box.
3. Read the arresting agency line. "Perkins Co SO Grant" points the arrest back to Perkins County.
4. Call Keith County Jail at (308) 284-4772 if the person is not listed, may have been released, or may have been moved to Lincoln County Detention Center.

Custody, bond, visitation, phone, mail, and commissary questions belong with the holding jail. Arrest-report questions can still belong with the Perkins County Sheriff at 200 Lincoln Ave in Grant, and formal charge or court-date questions belong with the Nebraska court system or Perkins County Court.

Keith County Jail Address and Contact

Call the jail before driving from Perkins County because the roster is only a public snapshot. A person may have been released, transported, held on a nonbondable charge, or moved under a court or agency hold. Perkins County Sheriff Jeffrey Miller's office remains the local arresting agency contact for Perkins arrest records, but live custody confirmation for a Keith-held inmate comes from the Ogallala jail.

Visiting Someone at Keith County Jail

Keith County's visiting inmates page sets a first-come, first-served schedule with no appointments. Visitors must bring photo ID and sign in with name, address, and phone number. The jail screens visitors for warrants and conditional-release status. One visitor is allowed in the booth at a time, each individual visit is limited to one hour, and the inmate may receive no more than two total hours per week.

The captured visitation source shows the schedule and screening rules: Keith County visitation schedule.

Visitors should leave cell phones, purses, briefcases, backpacks, and unnecessary items outside the visiting booth and should confirm any exceptional visit request with the jail before traveling.

Mail, Phone, Bond, and Money at Keith County Jail

Keith County mail is limited to personal correspondence. The official mail rules page says periodicals and products are not accepted through mail, while personal non-pornographic photos and stamps may be included. Mail from another detention or correctional facility can be edited or denied. Indigent inmates receive three free stamps weekly.

Phone access begins after booking. The official telephone page says each inmate receives one outbound call after booking and another when bond is established or changed. Calls may be collect, calling-card direct dial, or prepaid through CIDNET. The phone source image below shows the phone-access rules and CIDNET reference: Keith County inmate telephone rules.

For bond, the jail instructs callers to verify the person's bond at (308) 284-4772 before paying. Cash bonds must be exact cash, paid in person, and made in the arrested person's name. Credit-card bond is handled through ALLPAID and is subject to an ALLPAID fee. Personal checks and extra amounts are not accepted.

Booking and Intake at Keith County Jail

A Perkins County arrest can move from the arresting deputy in Grant or elsewhere in the county to Keith County Jail for regional housing. After arrival, booking normally covers identity confirmation, property inventory, search, fingerprints, booking photo, charge entry, warrant and hold checks, medical or mental-health screening, and classification. Keith County's classification process considers safety and security factors and is reviewed periodically.

Housing is not shown on the public JDS roster, so a family member should not assume pod placement from the online listing. The facility has four pods and holding cells, but the public record usually focuses on charges, bail, book date, arresting agency, and next court date rather than daily housing details. Court filings can change after booking because the Perkins County Attorney decides formal prosecution for crimes occurring in Perkins County.

Programs, Conditions, and Statewide Alternatives

The Keith County jail environment page describes a small adult jail without inmate television or internet access. Inmates may use a limited recreation room Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., but there is no external recreation. Religious instruction and AA are provided by local volunteers, and medical and counseling services are handled through local contracts. Meals include cold breakfast, hot lunch, and cold dinner. Reading material includes local newspapers, soft-cover novels, bibles, and approved magazines.

If the person has been sentenced to a Nebraska state prison, use the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services inmate search instead of the Keith roster. For notification searches, use NEVCAP. For federal sentenced custody, use the BOP inmate locator. Keith County Jail is a county jail lookup, not a state prison or federal locator.
