This is a private reference site, not a Box Butte County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the official office that keeps the record or controls the custody decision.
Where to Start for an Inmate or Record

Records can split between agencies in Box Butte County. Match the question to the office before you request a copy or travel to an office.
- For someone who may be in Box Butte County Jail, use the jail inmate records guide and call the Sheriff's Office for real-time custody information.
- For a booking photo or mugshot request, review the jail roster mugshots page and route jail-photo requests to the Sheriff's Office.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Box Butte County Court, Box Butte District Court, or Nebraska JUSTICE.
- For a facility-specific lookup, use the Box Butte County Jail page.
- For public-records routing when the custodian is unclear, use the Box Butte County Clerk Freedom of Information Request process. The county states that the Clerk can forward requests to the department in charge and that the department provides approximate fee information.
- For Alliance Police incident reports, use the Alliance Police Department records request path. Police reports are separate from the county jail booking record.
- For sentenced Nebraska state prisoners, search the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services locator, not the county jail.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
