Lincoln County Detention Center Inmate Search

Lincoln County Detention Center Overview

Lincoln County Detention Center is operated by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office at 302 North Jeffers Street in North Platte, Nebraska. Perkins County Board minutes from January 5 and January 20, 2026 reported one Perkins inmate at Lincoln County Jail on each date, making Lincoln County a documented secondary or overflow holding site for Perkins County custody. The facility is also listed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, so it can matter for immigration custody as well as county detention.

The official Lincoln County detention center page provides the address, phone number, roster link, and service links for visitation, commissary, telephone, email, PREA, and bond-related payments. The research did not locate an official capacity number for this facility, so capacity should not be guessed. The correct approach is to use the Lincoln roster and then call the detention center for live confirmation if the person may be a Perkins County inmate, a Lincoln County detainee, or an ICE detainee assigned there.

The captured source page below shows the official detention center contact and service links: Lincoln County Detention Center page.

For Perkins County readers, the key distinction is agency responsibility: custody questions go to Lincoln County if the person is held there, while arrest-report questions may still route to the Perkins County Sheriff and prosecution questions to Perkins County Attorney or the Nebraska courts.

Lincoln County Detention Center Custody Statistics

No official Lincoln County Detention Center capacity figure was found in the reviewed sources. Sourced Perkins-specific figures come from Perkins County Board minutes: Sheriff Jeffrey Miller reported one Perkins inmate at Lincoln County Jail on January 5, 2026, and again one Perkins inmate there on January 20, 2026. Those are dated custody snapshots, not average daily population numbers.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Lincoln County Detention Center

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office links to the public roster at inmateroster.lincolncountysheriff.us. The fields referenced in the research include JailId, Photo, Name, Charges, Current Disposition, and Total Bail. Because the roster may be dynamic, call Lincoln County Detention Center at (308) 535-9599 when a person is not visible, recently arrested, recently released, or possibly held under another agency.

1. Open the Lincoln County inmate roster from the sheriff detention center page.
2. Search or scan for the person's name and compare charges, bail, and disposition fields.
3. Confirm whether the person is held at Lincoln County Detention Center rather than Keith County Jail.
4. For an ICE detainee, also use the ICE Online Detainee Locator by A-number or by name, country of birth, and birth date.

Sentenced Nebraska prisoners are not located through the Lincoln roster after transfer to state prison. Use the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration record search for state prison custody, and use the BOP inmate locator for federal sentenced custody.

Lincoln County Detention Center Address and Contact

The detention center phone number is the live confirmation line for people who may be housed in North Platte. ICE's facility listing also gives detainee information through the same detention center number. For a Perkins County arrest, keep the agency chain separate: Lincoln County can confirm housing and facility rules, while the Perkins County Sheriff may be the local arresting agency and the Perkins County court record may show formal filings.

Visiting Someone at Lincoln County Detention Center

The official Lincoln County visitation page describes onsite and remote visitation. Onsite visits are non-contact and occur Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Remote visits are available from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Visitors should arrive 10 minutes early. Adults need federal or state photo ID. Minors under 18 must be accompanied by a biological parent and must have a birth certificate, while a minor spouse must show proof of marriage and proper ID.

The source image below shows the Lincoln onsite and remote visitation rules: Lincoln County visitation rules.

Visits may be monitored or recorded, and visitors are subject to search. The dress code bars gang, obscene, drug, or alcohol messages, exposed shoulders or midriff, sheer or mesh materials, tight clothing, visible undergarments, short skirts or shorts above six inches from the kneecap, and most hats or outerwear in the visiting area.

Commissary, Phone, Email, and Bond Payments at Lincoln County Detention Center

Lincoln County publishes separate service pages for money, telephone, email, and remote payment. The official inmate commissary accounts page says deposits may be made by cash or money order at the detention center, through JailATM online, or through the lobby kiosk. The page does not recommend sending cash by mail. The captured source below shows the JailATM and lobby deposit instructions: Lincoln commissary accounts.

Telephone service uses Prodigy prepaid collect and PIN debit options. The research source lists a live operator deposit line at 866-700-4545 with a $5.95 deposit fee, and an IVR line at 866-797-5578 with a $3.00 deposit fee. Lincoln's email page describes JailATM secure email, electronic law library access, commissary ordering, and staff communication, with facility staff approval required. For online bond payment, the remote payments page tells users to call the sheriff first because amounts and interest can change before using the GovPayNow bond link.

ICE Listing and Immigration Detainee Search

Lincoln County Detention Center has an official ICE detention facility listing. That listing matters because an immigration detainee may not be found through the same path a family uses for a Perkins County criminal booking. ICE's online detainee locator searches by A-number or by biographical information such as name, country of birth, and birth date. ICE detainee information may also be requested from the facility at (308) 535-9599.

The ICE facility source image below confirms Lincoln County Detention Center as an ICE-listed location: ICE listing for Lincoln County Detention Center.

The ICE locator is for detainee location and identity confirmation, not a county-style mugshot gallery. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through BOP, and U.S. Marshals pretrial custody may involve contract housing or federal court contacts rather than a county roster profile.

Booking and Intake at Lincoln County Detention Center

A Perkins County arrest can reach Lincoln County Detention Center when the sheriff uses overflow or regional housing. At intake, the detention center may process identity, property, search, medical screening, booking photo, charge entry, bail information, and classification. Lincoln County's roster fields focus on JailId, photo, name, charges, current disposition, and total bail, so it should be read as a custody snapshot rather than the final court case record.

Formal prosecution for crimes occurring in Perkins County remains with the Perkins County Attorney, and Nebraska court records should be searched separately through the JUSTICE case search or court calendar. If the person has moved from county detention to a state prison sentence, search NDCS instead of the Lincoln roster. If immigration custody is involved, check ICE and call the detention center before making visitation or payment plans.

Programs, Facility Rules, and Lookup Alternatives

Lincoln County's detention materials describe a facility that provides inmate programs and uses kiosks for secure email, electronic law library access, commissary ordering, and staff coordination. The visitation rules are more detailed than many rural jail pages, especially around minor visitors, no-contact orders, monitoring, and dress code. These rules apply to the detention center visit, even when the arrest started in Perkins County.

For victim notification and offender search, Nebraska offers NEVCAP. For state prison custody, use the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services locator. For federal Bureau of Prisons custody, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE locator and the Lincoln County ICE facility channel. The Perkins County Sheriff page and additional sheriff links remain useful for local arresting-agency context, but the holding facility controls the daily jail rules.
