Box Butte County Jail Records
No official Box Butte County online jail roster, inmate lookup, booking report, or mugshot gallery was located on the county website, sheriff page, county public-records page, or county phone directory. That finding changes the search order. Current custody questions should go first to the Box Butte County Sheriff's Office, because the sheriff operates Box Butte County Jail. Public copies of booking records, jail records, or booking photos use the records-request route, not a self-service roster profile.
The Box Butte County Sheriff's Office page gives the jail operator and public contact point. The sheriff/jail phone is (308) 762-6464. The address is 512 Niobrara Avenue, Alliance, NE 69301. Posted office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, closed weekends and holidays. Those are office and counter hours. The county did not publish separate booking desk hours or a 24-hour public jail records counter.
The sheriff page is the official local source for the jail contact block.
Its contact block supports the phone-first custody route, but it does not provide a searchable roster link.
Search Box Butte County Inmates
The practical Box Butte County inmate records workflow starts with a custody check. Have the person's full name, date of birth or age, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and known charge ready. Ask staff whether the person is currently held at Box Butte County Jail, whether a bond has been set, and which court or case number is connected with the booking. If the person is not in local custody, ask whether there was a release, transfer, or other agency hold.
- Call the Box Butte County Sheriff's Office at (308) 762-6464 for current custody information.
- Ask whether the person is in Box Butte County Jail, released, transferred, or held on another agency matter.
- Use the person's full name, age or date of birth, arrest date, and arresting agency to reduce name-match errors.
- For a copy of a booking record, file a records request with the Sheriff's Office as the jail operator.
- Check NDCS, BOP, ICE, or NEVCAP when the custody question is no longer a local county jail question.
Roster status: The Nebraska Jail Data Query is not a named Box Butte County jail roster. It is a statistical release-count tool.
Box Butte County Search Fields
Because no official county roster form was found, there is no local roster search-field table for named Box Butte County inmate profiles. The available official search-field table for local jail data comes from the Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Data Query. It can filter release data for Box Butte County SO Alliance, but it does not return an inmate profile, mugshot, housing unit, or live custody status.
The Nebraska Jail Data Query shows the official fields available for statistical release searches.
Use it to study releases, not to verify that a named person is currently booked in Box Butte County Jail.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Column | Dropdown | Yes | Age, ethnicity, charge, race, gender, days held, severity, or release code |
| Row | Dropdown | Yes | Agency, age, charge, race, ethnicity, gender, days held, severity, or release code |
| Select Release Year | Multi-select dropdown | Optional | 2016 through 2025 are available |
| Select Release Month | Multi-select dropdown | Optional | January through December |
| Select Agency | Multi-select dropdown | Optional | Includes BOX BUTTE CO SO ALLIANCE |
Box Butte County Booking Records
A public sample inmate profile from a Box Butte County roster could not be inspected because no official online roster was found. Do not assume that mugshots, charges, bond amounts, housing assignments, or release dates are published online. Those details may exist inside the jail's internal booking record and may be released, redacted, or withheld depending on Nebraska public-records law, court status, privacy rules, juvenile or sealed record limits, and safety concerns.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person booked or held by the jail. |
| Booking date and time | When the jail accepted the person, if released by the record custodian. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff's Office, Alliance Police, Nebraska State Patrol, warrant agency, or another agency. |
| Charge or arrest reason | The initial allegation or warrant reason. It may differ from later court charges. |
| Bond or bail | The amount and type if a judge or court order has set release terms. |
| Court case number | The link between jail custody and county or district court records when available. |
| Mugshot or booking photo | Not found in an official online roster. Request through sheriff records if needed. |
| Release or transfer | Whether the person bonded out, was released, transferred, or held for another agency. |
Booking means jail intake. A court charge is different. Prosecutors can file, amend, reduce, or dismiss charges after the first jail record is created.
Request Box Butte County Records
For a jail booking record, send the request to the Sheriff's Office because it manages Box Butte County Jail. The county's Freedom of Information Request page says records requests should go to the department in charge of the desired records. If the department is unclear, the request may be sent to the County Clerk, who forwards it. The page says the department will provide approximate fee information before proceeding and that fees are limited to actual material duplication costs.
That county public-records page is the official routing fallback when a phone custody check is not enough.
Use the records path for copies, older booking files, or booking photos, not for urgent release or bond timing questions.
County State Federal Inmates
Box Butte County inmate records should be searched by custody type. County jail records cover local detention, short stays, pretrial custody, local jail sentences, and temporary holds. NDCS records cover Nebraska state prisoners after sentencing and transfer. BOP records cover federal prisoners. ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees. These systems can overlap when a person has a hold or detainer, but they are not the same database.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local jail custody | Box Butte County Sheriff's Office | Current custody, bond status, booking record request path |
| Sentenced state prisoner | NDCS incarceration record search | DCS ID, last-name search, state custody, release dates, and offense information |
| Victim notification | NEVCAP offender search | Notification and status searches by supported offender or booking ID |
| Federal prisoner | BOP inmate locator | Sentenced federal inmates, not county jail detainees |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE custody and facility routing |
The NDCS locator is the official search form for sentenced Nebraska prisoners.
Do not use the NDCS form for a new Box Butte County arrest unless the person has already moved into state custody.
Box Butte County Jail Facility
The facility map identifies one detention facility in Box Butte County: Box Butte County Jail. The City of Alliance Police Department is at the same public-safety address area and runs law-enforcement services, but official research did not locate a separate Alliance municipal jail roster or a second detention facility page. For custody, the county jail is the local detention point. For Alliance Police incident reports, use the city police records route rather than the county jail record route.
Box Butte County Jail
512 Niobrara Avenue
Alliance, NE 69301
(308) 762-6464
Office hours: 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, closed weekends and holidays
The jail is linked in the facility list as Box Butte County Jail, but custody checks still route through the Sheriff's Office phone line because no official roster was found.
Box Butte County Booking Process
Official county pages did not publish a detailed booking manual, so the local process should be described cautiously. A booking may begin after an arrest or warrant service by the Sheriff's Office, Alliance Police, Nebraska State Patrol, or another agency. If local detention is needed, the person is transported to Box Butte County Jail. Staff confirm identifying information, arresting agency, warrant or probable-cause paperwork, and any court order. Personal property is typically inventoried under jail policy, but Box Butte County did not post property-release rules.
Local booking records normally can include identification photos and fingerprints, but Box Butte County did not publish a public booking-photo roster. If release is not immediate, bond and first court contact move through the court process. Nebraska JUSTICE court records have a separate lag from jail booking, so a person may be in custody before a new case is searchable online.
Box Butte County Visitation Records
Official Box Butte County jail visitation, mail, money, and commissary rules were not located. A cautious jail records page should not invent a visit schedule, video vendor, deposit kiosk, mail-scanning rule, tablet service, or commissary limits. Prison Policy Initiative listed Encartele for Box Butte County Jail in a 2022 phone-rate appendix, but the county did not publish current phone vendor details on its own site. Verify all visitor and money rules with the jail before taking action.
| Topic | Official Finding | Reader Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | No county schedule posted | Call the Sheriff's Office before traveling |
| Video visitation | No vendor or schedule posted | Ask whether on-site or remote video is available |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not posted | Bring government ID and confirm minor-child and dress rules |
| No public mail policy posted | Ask for exact inmate-name and booking-number format | |
| Money deposits | No official deposit page found | Ask whether deposits are in person, by mail, kiosk, phone, or online |
| Phone calls | County not posted; PPI listed Encartele in 2022 | Verify current provider and rates with the jail |
Box Butte County NEVCAP Search
NEVCAP is the Nebraska Victims of Crime Alert Portal. It can support notification and offender searches by offender ID, DOC ID, or booking ID depending on the agency and custody stage. NEVCAP is not a complete Box Butte County jail roster and should not be used as the only source for a live jail hold, bond, or release question. It is most useful when a victim or concerned person needs status alerts from a supported system.
The NEVCAP offender search provides the state notification search path.
Use sheriff contact for same-day jail status and NEVCAP for notification coverage where the record is supported.
Box Butte County Record Terms
Jail and court terms can sound alike, but they answer different questions. A booking charge is the basis for intake. A filed court charge is what the prosecutor brings in court. A bond is money or conditions for release. A detainer is a hold or notice request from another agency. A mittimus or commitment order can send a person to serve jail or prison time. A transfer means the person moved to another jail, prison, federal, or immigration custody.
- Booking
- The jail intake record created when a person is accepted into custody.
- First appearance
- An early court hearing after arrest, often tied to bond and next court dates.
- Detainer
- A request from another agency asking the jail to hold or notify before release.
- Classification
- The jail's custody-level and housing assessment.
- Disposition
- The final court outcome, such as conviction, dismissal, or amended charge.
For filed charges and court events after booking, use the court-record path rather than the jail custody channel.
