Blaine County Jail Records Overview
The official Blaine County sheriff page names Sheriff Tim Sierks and gives the sheriff's office as the county custody contact, but it does not publish a current-inmate list, booking report, public mugshot feed, released-inmate index, or roster vendor. That missing roster is the key fact for Blaine County inmate records. A reader should not wait for a web list to refresh, because the county site does not show one.
For a new arrest, start with the Blaine County Sheriff's Office / Jail Contact Point at 145 Lincoln Ave, Brewster, NE 68821-9700. The published phone is (308) 547-2222 Ext 203, and the published fax numbers are (308) 547-2226 and (308) 547-2228. Ask whether the person is in sheriff custody, has bonded out, was transferred, or must be located through court records. Have the full legal name, date of birth or approximate age, date of arrest, arresting agency, and town or area of the incident.
The sheriff page states that the sheriff has charge and custody of the jail and prisoners unless a county board of corrections has those duties. It does not confirm bed count, long-term housing, visitation rooms, or a separate booking desk. That means Blaine County inmate records should be treated as a contact-and-records-request process, not as a click-through jail database.
Use Blaine County Inmate Channels
Because no official Blaine County online jail roster was located, the search path is a sequence of official channels. The same person may appear first in sheriff intake notes, then in court case records after charges are filed, then in NEVCAP or NDCS if custody moves. Each channel answers a different question, so use the narrowest source that matches the custody stage.
- Call the Blaine County Sheriff's Office at (308) 547-2222 Ext 203 and ask for current custody, release, transfer, or bond status.
- If a written record is needed, mail or fax a public-records request to the sheriff and ask for the booking sheet, jail admission and release record, bond entry, arrest report, and booking photo if maintained.
- Check NEVCAP, Nebraska's victim notification portal, for custody alerts or offender search entries where supported.
- Search NDCS incarceration records if the person may have been sentenced to Nebraska state prison.
- Use Nebraska court search and calendar tools to find filed charges, hearings, bond orders, and case numbers after the first appearance.
- For federal custody, check the BOP inmate locator and contact the U.S. Marshals District of Nebraska when the case is federal pretrial custody.
- For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator instead of a county jail roster.
The successful screenshot from the official Blaine County sheriff page shows why the sheriff is the first local contact for jail and prisoner questions.
The screenshot supports the local access path: it gives the sheriff contact, not a live inmate roster. Use it to confirm the official office before mailing, faxing, or calling about Blaine County inmate records.
Blaine County Roster Search Fields
A normal jail roster page would list search fields such as last name, booking number, custody status, or date booked. Blaine County does not publish those fields on the official county site. The roster field table therefore has to show the absence of an official local portal and then point readers to the systems that do have search inputs.
| Portal | Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blaine County online jail roster | No official roster fields located | n/a | The county site does not expose filters, buttons, tabs, results, or inmate profile pages. |
| NEVCAP offender search | First name / last name | Unspecified | Free victim-notification search for supported custody records. |
| NEVCAP offender search | Offender ID / booking ID | Unspecified | Use exact ID numbers when known. |
| NDCS locator | Last name | Yes if searching by name | For sentenced Nebraska prison inmates, not county jail detainees. |
| NDCS locator | DCS Id Number | Yes if searching by ID | Exact state prison identifier. |
| BOP locator | Name or federal number | Varies by search type | For federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| ICE locator | A-number or name with country and birth date | Yes | For immigration detention, not Blaine County charges. |
The NEVCAP offender search screenshot is relevant because it is the Nebraska custody-notification channel named in the research.
NEVCAP does not replace the sheriff, but it can help when a custody-notification record exists and a public county roster is not available.
Blaine County Inmate Record Fields
There is no official Blaine County sample inmate profile to copy. Instead, a public-records request should identify the specific jail or booking fields being sought. Nebraska public records law begins with broad access, but law-enforcement and criminal-history limits can affect what the sheriff releases.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name of the arrested or detained person if released as part of a booking or admission record. |
| Booking or admission date | Date and time the person entered custody, if maintained and releasable. |
| Release date or status | Whether the person remains in custody, bonded out, was released, or was transferred. |
| Arresting agency | Blaine County sheriff, Nebraska State Patrol, or another agency if shown in the record. |
| Charges or arrest reason | Booking allegations, which may differ from charges later filed in court. |
| Bond | Bond amount or bond type if set and recorded. |
| Court case number | May appear after charges are filed; otherwise search the court system separately. |
| Booking photo | Not posted online by Blaine County; request through the sheriff and public-records process. |
| Holds or detainers | Other agency holds when public and not restricted. |
| Redactions | Investigatory details, juveniles, sealed records, protected victims, and restricted criminal-history data may be withheld. |
Blaine County and State Inmates
A Blaine County jail record is a local custody record. It covers arrest, booking, release, transfer, bond, and jail admission details held by the sheriff or holding facility. A Nebraska prison record is different. Once a person is sentenced to state prison and admitted to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, the statewide locator becomes the better search tool.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Can Show |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Blaine County arrest | Blaine County Sheriff's Office | Custody, release, transfer, bond, and booking-record request options. |
| Nearby county holding question | Custer County Jail / Sheriff's Office | Possible nearby fallback to check, with no confirmed Blaine-Custer contract. |
| Sentenced Nebraska prison inmate | Nebraska Department of Correctional Services locator | State prison facility, offense details, DCS ID, and release information. |
| Federal inmate | Federal Bureau of Prisons locator | Federal custody records from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Current ICE custody or recent CBP custody covered by ICE rules. |
The NDCS locator screenshot shows the state prison fields used after county custody ends.
Use NDCS only when the person is in the state prison system. It is not a Blaine County booking log or county jail roster.
Blaine County Jail Facilities
The facility map for Blaine County has two practical entries. The first is the local sheriff and jail contact point in Brewster. The second is the Custer County Jail / Sheriff's Office in Broken Bow, which should be described cautiously as a nearby fallback, not as a confirmed contract jail for Blaine County.
Blaine County Sheriff's Office / Jail Contact Point
145 Lincoln Ave
Brewster, NE 68821-9700
(308) 547-2222 Ext 203

Custer County Jail / Sheriff's Office

Blaine County Booking Process
Blaine County does not publish a local booking-process page, so the best description comes from the sheriff contact and Nebraska jail standards framework. A typical local custody flow is arrest or warrant service, transport to the sheriff's office or holding location, identification, property inventory, search, booking photo if taken, fingerprints or other identification, medical or mental-health screening, classification if the person remains confined, phone or video access under jail communication rules, and a first appearance or bond review.
Filed charges are not the same as booking charges. The arresting agency may list an arrest reason at intake, while the county attorney decides what charges to file in court. For the court side of the process, use Nebraska court case tools and the clerk contacts rather than treating the booking record as the formal charge record.
Note: Same-day Blaine County inmate records may exist with the sheriff before any court case or notification entry appears online.
Blaine County Visitation Records
Blaine County publishes no official jail visitation, mail, commissary, phone, or money-deposit rules. Confirm the person's actual holding location before trying to visit, mail funds, send property, or use a video visit system. If the person is not held in Brewster, the holding jail's rules control.
| Facility | Schedule Found? | Published Schedule | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blaine County Sheriff's Office / Jail Contact Point | No | Not published | Call before travel; no official roster or visitor rule page was found. |
| Custer County Jail / Sheriff's Office | No jail schedule found | Not published in located official jail sources | Official office hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday, closed weekends and holidays. |
| NDCS prisons | Yes, statewide visitation page | Facility-specific | Use NDCS rules after locating the sentenced inmate. |
Nebraska law also matters here. Neb. Rev. Stat. Section 47-101.02 requires county-jail communication access through telephone or videoconferencing standards, but it does not give a Blaine County vendor name or schedule.
Blaine County Public Records Requests
Nebraska public-records law is the fallback when Blaine County inmate records are not online. Neb. Rev. Stat. Section 84-712 allows interested persons to examine and obtain copies of public records unless another law applies. Section 84-712.03 covers response procedure, and Section 84-712.05 lists records that can be withheld, including some law-enforcement investigatory records.
A written request should name the person, date of arrest or incident, arresting agency if known, record type sought, and return contact. Ask for the booking sheet, jail admission and release record, arrest report, bond information, booking photo, and any denial or redaction basis. Court filings should be requested from the court, not the sheriff.
Blaine County Custody Terms
Custody records use short labels that can be easy to confuse. These terms keep the Blaine County inmate records search focused on the right agency.
- Booking
- Administrative jail intake after arrest, including identification and record creation.
- Admission and release record
- A jail record showing when a person entered and left custody.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another county, state, federal, parole, probation, or immigration agency.
- Personal recognizance
- Release based on a promise to appear and follow court conditions.
- NDCS
- Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, the state prison system.
