Check Current Custody, New Bookings or Recent Release
Jamestown inmate searches are handled through the Stutsman County Correctional Center, which publishes separate official pages for current inmates, recent bookings and recent releases.
Use this guide to select the right page, understand what the record can prove and verify bail, court, visitation, mail, communication and transfer information before taking action.
This Roster Covers Jamestown, North Dakota
The phrase “Jamestown jail roster” can lead to New York, Virginia, historic Jamestown, state-prison and fake county pages. This article covers local custody at Stutsman County Correctional Center in Jamestown, North Dakota.
Local Arrest or County Custody
Use the Stutsman County inmate roster, recent-booking list or recent-release list.
North Dakota State Prison
Use ND DOCR Resident Lookup when the person may be at James River Correctional Center or another state facility.
Another Jamestown
Confirm the state and county before using any roster, court page or payment provider.
Fraud warning: avoid websites that invent a “Jamestown County,” promise instant nationwide custody data or redirect users to paid background-check forms before identifying the real government facility.
Choose the Source That Matches Your Question
The current roster, booking list, release list, court search and state-prison locator answer different questions. Select the exact task instead of searching random inmate websites.
Jamestown Custody Source Finder
Use the Correct Jamestown Roster Page
| Roster page | Time coverage | Use this page when | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| In Custody | Current live roster | You need to know whether someone is presently displayed in local custody. | It does not provide a final criminal-case outcome. |
| Recently Booked | Previous 72 hours | The arrest was recent or you need the county’s high-resolution booking photograph. | A listed person may later be released or transferred. |
| Recently Released | Previous 72 hours | The current roster no longer shows someone who may have recently left custody. | It is not a permanent release archive. |
Current In-Custody Roster
The county describes this page as live data for all individuals currently in custody, sorted alphabetically by last name. Green rows identify people booked during the previous 24 hours.
After confirming that you need current local custody, open the official Stutsman County In-Custody Roster.
Recently Booked Roster
This page covers the previous 72 hours and provides high-resolution photographs for media purposes.
Use the official Recently Booked page when the arrest was recent.
Recently Released Roster
This page covers people released during the previous 72 hours. It can explain why a name has disappeared from the current roster.
Open the official Recently Released page for a recent release check.
How to Search the Jamestown Jail Roster
Confirm Jamestown and Stutsman County
Check that the arrest, address, police agency or court information points to Jamestown, North Dakota—not another city with the same name.
Select Current, Booked or Released
Use the full live roster for current custody. Use the 72-hour pages for a very recent booking or release.
Start With the Legal Last Name
The current roster is alphabetical by surname. Try the legal last name before adding the first or middle name.
Try Useful Name Variations
- Full legal first and last name
- Middle name or initial
- Former or maiden surname
- Hyphenated-name variation
- Name suffix such as Jr. or III
- Common spelling variation
Compare the Complete Entry
Use every displayed identifying, booking, arrest and charge detail. The county warns that individuals may use false or incorrect identifying information.
Verify Court, Bail and Release Separately
The roster is informational. Use the court for the legal case and jail staff for same-day custody, bail, hold and release questions.
What the Roster Can and Cannot Tell You
Stutsman County states that its roster shows arrest information only, is not a criminal-background check and does not show the final disposition of charges.
| Information shown | What it may help confirm | What it cannot establish |
|---|---|---|
| Name | A possible custody entry under that recorded identity. | A certified identity match when names or identification data are inaccurate. |
| Booking or arrest details | Why and when the local custody record was created. | The final charge, plea, conviction or sentence. |
| Green-highlighted row | The county identifies it as a booking within the previous 24 hours. | How long custody will continue. |
| Booking photograph | An additional visual identity clue. | Guilt or current custody after release. |
| Charge or hold wording | A possible reason for detention or route to the related court case. | Final disposition or whether every allegation remains pending. |
Booking is not conviction: do not present a name, arrest, charge or mugshot as proof that someone committed a crime.
Why Someone May Be Missing From the Jamestown Roster
No-Result Troubleshooter
Urgent confirmation: call Stutsman County Correctional Center at 701-252-7436 when custody affects safety, medication, bail, court transport or release pickup.
Find the Correct Jamestown Court Record
Stutsman County’s regional court system includes District Court, Juvenile Court and Jamestown Municipal Court. The jail roster does not replace these court records.
| Court | General role | Address and telephone |
|---|---|---|
| District Court | State criminal and other district-court matters | 511 2nd Ave SE, Suite 202; 701-253-6243 |
| Juvenile Court | Juvenile matters not handled as an ordinary adult jail roster entry | 511 2nd Ave SE, Suite 1; 701-253-6253 |
| Jamestown Municipal Court | Class B misdemeanors, infractions, noncriminal traffic and other noncriminal offenses | 205 6th St SE, Suite 104; 701-251-2143 |
How to Search the Public Court System
- Search by defendant name when the case number is unknown.
- Use the legal surname and first name.
- Compare the county and filing date.
- Check whether the case is open, closed or transferred.
- Verify the next hearing directly when attendance matters.
After collecting the correct name and jurisdiction, use the North Dakota Court System Public Search.
For local addresses, entry details and court contacts, open the official Stutsman County Court System page.
Courthouse-entry rules: county guidance says electronic devices must be turned off and that purses, backpacks, hats, food and drinks are not allowed while attending court.
Post Bail Only After Confirming Every Case and Hold
Stutsman County provides separate cash, card and bail-bond procedures. These payment routes are for bail—not commissary, communication or general inmate funds.
| Payment method | Official procedure | Important check |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | First-floor lobby kiosk, 24 hours a day | After depositing, use the second-floor call button or contact extension 6106. |
| Credit or debit card | Lobby kiosk, District Court during business hours or Team3 | Review provider terms, fees and refund rules. |
| Private bail-bond company | Only when the court permits a bonding agency for that offense | SCCC does not advertise or recommend a particular company. |
Who Receives a Bail Refund?
The county states that courts treat posted bail as the defendant’s property. Any refund is returned to the defendant rather than automatically going to the person who supplied the money.
Questions to Ask Before Paying
- Is the person still in custody?
- What is the current bail for every case?
- Does another warrant or hold prevent release?
- Is a bail-bond company permitted?
- Which court set the bail?
- Which payment method is accepted?
- Will payment make the person release-eligible?
- What receipt or confirmation will be issued?
Review the official Stutsman County Bail Information page before paying.
Bail Verification Call Script
“I am checking bail for [full legal name]. Can you confirm every active case and hold, the current bail for each matter, whether a bond company is permitted and whether payment would make the person eligible for release?”

How to Report an Urgent Family or Safety Message

North Dakota VINE
Use VINE when custody-status notifications or victim-information services are needed and available.
