Washington County Corrections Facility Inmate Lookup

Washington County Corrections Facility Overview

The Washington County Corrections Facility / Washington County Justice Center is operated by the Washington County Sheriff's Office. It is a county jail and local adult detention facility at 444 South 16th St, Blair, NE 68008. Sheriff Mike Robinson is listed by the county as the elected sheriff, and the county government sheriff page places the office at the same Justice Center address.

The jail holds local pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, and people held for other agencies when the roster shows a contract or hold entry. Research from the sheriff's pages identifies arrests by the Blair Police Department, Nebraska State Patrol, Washington County Sheriff's Department, Burt County, and other jurisdictions. The June 19, 2026 roster also showed outside-hold labels such as Dodge County, Burt County, Sarpy County, Lancaster County, OPD, Douglas County, sentenced entries, and ICE HOLD annotations.

The official Justice Center page is the best source for the jail phone lines, inmate life information, booking process, commissary links, and visitation direction.

The Justice Center source matters because Washington County uses this single sheriff-operated building for the county jail, sheriff administration, and related justice-center functions rather than listing multiple local detention facilities.

Washington County Corrections Facility Capacity and Population

The strongest official capacity source is the sheriff's archive on the justice-center project. It reported that Washington County voters approved a May 2018 bond issue for a criminal-justice center that included a 120-bed jail, sheriff's office, courtroom, and expanded county attorney space. The current roster snapshot inspected for this build was the official June 19, 2026 PDF roster. Its facility count line showed WCSO 88, D&E 1, Other 0, for a total of 89 people held that day.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Washington County Corrections Facility

Washington County does not publish an interactive jail search box. The official county path is the Sheriff's Office Current Jail List page, which links to a dated daily PDF. The roster is free, does not require a login, and is the source for current county jail custody. It is not a complete historical booking archive and it is not the right system for sentenced Nebraska prison inmates.

The sheriff's Jail List page is the roster landing page captured for the facility lookup workflow.

Because the roster is a PDF, the most useful search tool is the browser or PDF viewer find command, not a county search form.

1. Open the Washington County Sheriff's Office Current Jail List page.
2. Click the dated View Current Jail List PDF, such as the 06-19-26 roster inspected in the research.
3. Use the PDF find command for the person's last name, first name, agency label, charge term, ICE HOLD, NO BOND, or a release date.
4. Read across the row for name, agency or hold, charge text, received date and time, housed or court-date field, date of birth, and bond or release information.
5. Call Jail Information at 402-426-6861 if the PDF is stale, a same-day arrest is missing, or a bond or hold entry could block release.

For a person sentenced to Nebraska state prison after a Washington County case, use the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services inmate search instead of the county PDF. For victim notification, use NEVCAP. For sentenced federal custody, use the Federal BOP locator. If a local roster entry shows ICE HOLD, the county jail entry only identifies a local detainer condition. Immigration detention searches use ICE ODLS.

Washington County Corrections Facility Address and Contact

Use the jail-specific line for custody, roster, visitation, and same-day booking questions. Use the sheriff main line for broader sheriff's office business. The official sheriff and county pages list several direct numbers at the Justice Center, including General Information, Civil Process, and Accident Reports.

Visiting Someone at Washington County Corrections Facility

Washington County uses scheduled video visitation through Combined Public Communications and InmateSales. The official jail visitation guidelines say appointments may be scheduled, changed, or canceled no less than one day and no more than seven days in advance. A one-time registration is required before on-site or remote scheduled visits, and accounts may take up to 48 hours for approval. Visitors must check in 15 minutes early for on-site video visits.

The sheriff's visitation guidelines page is the source for scheduling, ID, visitor limits, recording bans, and the CPC help line.

The rules are specific: visits are recorded and monitored, screenshots or recordings are prohibited, and violations can permanently suspend visitation privileges.

Accepted ID includes a valid Nebraska or other state driver's license, valid state ID, passport, or military ID. No more than two approved visitors may visit at one time, and minors count as visitors. Phones and electronic devices are not allowed in the video visitation area and must be turned off and secured in a locker.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Washington County Corrections Facility

The Justice Center page links to InmateSales for virtual visits, inmate email, and phone account funds. It also links JailATM for commissary deposits. The local pages reviewed did not publish a full physical-mail rule sheet, scan-mail policy, envelope format, or mail rejection list, so the most accurate approach is to call Jail Information at 402-426-6861 before sending physical mail or packages.

Commissary is important at this facility because hygiene items, clothing undergarments, and other permitted items are offered through inmate commissary services when funds are available. Meals are prepared on site according to the Justice Center page.

Booking, Medical, and Intake at Washington County Corrections Facility

Booking is handled at the Justice Center. Washington County states that all inmates must be processed through booking, including fingerprinting, photographs, and other booking procedures. The facility enters the person into a computer-operated records management system with charges, medical condition, bond amount, and other information. A booking photograph may be taken during intake, but the public daily roster inspected for June 19, 2026 did not publish mugshots.

The Corrections Division page documents staffing, 24-hour operation, medical and mental-health staffing, and links back to the current inmate list.

The staffing source identifies 20 civilian corrections officers, two sergeants, four jail deputies, one part-time court deputy, a captain, and a lieutenant. It also says a registered nurse is on staff 40 hours per week and a mental-health professional 7 hours per week.

Bonds, Holds, and Public Records

The Washington County roster's bond and release column can show a dollar bond, a 10 percent bond amount, cash-only language, NO BOND, an outside county hold, ICE HOLD, or a sentenced release date. These labels need careful reading. A payable bond on one charge may not release the person if another county, a warrant, a probation hold, or an ICE hold remains active.

Before posting bond, verify the current amount and payment instructions with Jail Information at 402-426-6861 or the relevant Washington County court. Official pages reviewed did not publish a detailed online bond payment schedule for this jail, so no online bond-payment option should be assumed from the roster alone.

For jail records that are not online, make a Nebraska public-records request to the Washington County Sheriff's Office. The local research did not locate a county-specific online records portal, so practical request routes are in person or by mail at 444 South 16th St, Blair, NE 68008, by phone to the relevant sheriff line before submitting, or by email to the sheriff contact address when appropriate. Nebraska public-records law broadly covers county records, but records may be withheld or redacted for investigative, medical, security, victim-identifying, or other legally protected reasons.

Jail Standards and Facility Rules

Washington County states that inmate rules are issued during booking or made available in housing units. The sheriff's materials also say jail rules and practices are governed by the Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Standards Division. Nebraska law and the Crime Commission program set minimum standards for detention-facility construction, maintenance, and operations, and the state program performs annual inspection and enforcement work for active Nebraska jail facilities.

The Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Standards page provides the statewide oversight context for Washington County's local jail rules.

That statewide source does not replace local custody confirmation, but it explains why the jail's booking rules, housing-unit rules, visitation limits, and medical or security restrictions may be enforced beyond what appears in the public roster.
