Garfield County Jail Roster Route
Garfield County does not have a stand-alone official roster page under the county domain. The Garfield County Sheriff's Office publishes contact information, while the Nebraska Auditor's FY 2024-2025 audit confirms a payment to Valley County Sheriff for housing Garfield County inmates. That makes Valley County Jail the practical custody lookup channel for Garfield County arrests that require jail housing.
The local online record is not a search form. The Valley County inmate listing is a chronological public page with booking posts. The Valley County call log adds book-ins, book-outs, bond-outs, releases, inmate transports, and transfer notes. Together they help show whether a person was booked, still appears as current or recent, or may have left the jail stream.
The screenshot below comes from the public Valley County inmate listing documented in the manifest. It is the closest online Garfield County inmate records source because it shows people held for several counties and can include held-for county language.
Use the listing as a starting point, then call the jail before making a bond, visit, mail, or money decision.
Search Garfield County Inmate Records
A Garfield County inmate records search works best as a chain. The Valley listing can show a visible booking entry, but a phone call confirms whether the person is still held. The call log can show a release that the main inmate page does not make clear. The Garfield County Sheriff is still the right office for Garfield arrest reports, transport questions, and local holds.
- Open the Valley inmate listing and review the newest entries first.
- Use the browser find command for a last name, Burwell, Garfield County, or a known charge phrase.
- Open the call log and search for book in, book out, bonded out, transfer, or the person's name.
- Call Valley County Jail at (308) 728-3906 for current custody, bond, visit, mail, and money questions.
- Call Garfield County Sheriff at (308) 346-5150 for Garfield arrest records, incident reports, or transport details.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search NDCS instead of the jail page.

Garfield County Roster Fields
The Valley County inmate page has no last-name box, booking-number box, date range, sort control, export feature, or public login. It is a browse page. That changes how Garfield County inmate records are searched: the reader scans entries and uses browser search instead of submitting a database query.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmates page | Browse/list | None | Chronological current and recent booking entries; no form fields. |
| Booking date | Text in entry | Not applicable | Displayed as a booking date header or note. |
| Name / age / residence | Text in entry | Not applicable | Full name, age, and city/state when posted. |
| Held-for county | Text in entry | Not applicable | May identify Garfield County or another county. |
| Charges / reason | Text in entry | Not applicable | Warrant, court commitment, offense name, or short charge wording. |
| Bond | Text in entry | Not applicable | Can show a 10% bond, no bond, bond not set, or hold. |
Garfield County Inmate Profile Fields
A public Valley booking entry is shorter than a full jail-management record. It may be enough to identify the person and the custody reason, but it leaves out sensitive and operational details. Do not expect a booking number, date of birth, housing unit, court date, warrant number, officer name, medical data, or full charge-code table from the public listing.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Mugshot | A single front-facing booking image for many entries. |
| Booking Date | Date tied to the intake or public booking post. |
| Name | Full name, sometimes with middle name or initial. |
| Age and Residence | Age in years and a town/state or residence note. |
| Held-for County | The county responsible for the case or hold. |
| Charges | Short reason, warrant, commitment, or offense name. |
| Bond and Status | Bond amount/type wording, no bond, hold, bonded out, released, time served, or transferred when shown in logs. |
Terms such as hold, detainer, and transfer should be read carefully. A hold can mean another warrant, agency, court order, probation matter, or sentence issue blocks release even after one bond is addressed.
Garfield County Jail vs NDCS
Garfield County jail records and NDCS records cover different legal stages. Valley County Jail records cover arrest, booking, pretrial custody, warrant holds, court commitments, and short local custody. NDCS records cover sentenced Nebraska prisoners after state transfer. Federal and ICE records are separate again.
A person may move from one system to another without a clear public handoff. Valley logs can use transfer language, including movement to D&E in Lincoln, while a later NDCS record may use a DCS ID and state custody location. If the jail says the person was transferred after sentencing, the local roster is no longer the main source. If the jail says the person bonded out or served time, court records are the better place to confirm what happened to the case.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or short local custody | Valley inmate page, call log, Valley County Jail phone | Booking, bond, holds, releases, and transfers for local jail matters. |
| Sentenced Nebraska prisoner | NDCS locator | DCS ID, state custody status, location, and sentence/offense data when available. |
| Federal prisoner | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE detainees by A-number or biographical search. |
| Victim notification | NEVCAP offender search | Notification and alert route, separate from the roster. |

Booking Process in Garfield County
For a Garfield County arrest that requires confinement, the practical route is arrest or court order in Garfield County, transport or transfer to Valley County Jail, booking in Ord, and court processing through Garfield County Court when the case is a Garfield matter. Public sources did not locate a Garfield-specific booking desk schedule, fingerprint vendor, medical screening form, property receipt process, phone policy, or classification policy.
Observable Valley entries show the public side of intake. A new post can include a mugshot, booking date, name, age, residence, held-for county, charge reason, bond note, or hold. The call log separately records book-ins and book-outs. Roster charge text may be preliminary, so formal charges should be checked through Garfield County Court or the Nebraska JUSTICE search.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest or court commitment.
- Book out
- Release, transfer, bond-out, or another exit from jail custody.
- Court pending
- Status while a case still has future court action.
- DCS ID
- Nebraska state correctional identifier used by NDCS.
Garfield County Inmate Visits
Garfield County's site does not publish jail visitation rules because the local custody path runs through Valley County Jail. The Valley jail pages did not expose a full in-person or video visitation schedule in the research. That makes phone confirmation essential before any travel to Ord.
| Facility | Schedule Located? | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Valley County Jail | No official schedule located | Call (308) 728-3906 before travel. |
| Garfield County Sheriff | No jail visitation page | Call (308) 346-5150 for Garfield arrest or transport questions. |
| NDCS state prisons | Statewide process located | Use NDCS visitation after state transfer. |
NDCS visitation is different from jail visiting. State prison visitors must be approved, scheduling rules apply, and processing can take several weeks.
Garfield County Inmate Mail
The Valley jail information page gives a concrete mail format and money route. Mail should be addressed to Valley County Jail, c/o Inmate Name, 125 S 15th St., Ord, NE 68862. The page also names JailATM.com for inmate account deposits. No official phone vendor, video vendor, tablet program, commissary price list, deposit fee table, or mail contraband policy was located.
Use the same caution for mail that applies to roster searches. A person listed in a recent booking post may have already bonded out, been released for time served, transferred, or moved to another county or state process. Include the inmate name exactly as the jail gives it, and do not send cash, personal checks, property, medication, or documents unless the jail confirms those items are allowed. Garfield County arrest paperwork and Valley County jail housing can be linked to the same person, but the mail address follows the facility that physically holds the person.
