Chase County Jail Overview
Chase County Jail is operated by the Chase County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's site describes the office and jail as located on the lower floor of the courthouse in Imperial. No separate annex, work-release building, juvenile unit, medical unit, or regional detention campus was found in official sources. The jail is the only detention facility found as physically located in Chase County.
The facility holds local pretrial detainees and people serving local county sentences. ICE also publishes a detention-facility listing for Chase County Jail, so immigration detainee questions should be checked through ICE ODLS and direct facility confirmation. A person sentenced to Nebraska state prison moves out of the county-jail lookup path and into the NDCS incarceration-record search.
Chase County Jail Population
Official public sources did not publish a rated capacity, average daily population, annual booking count, housing-unit list, or demographic table for Chase County Jail. The public roster showed three listed names when inspected on June 21, 2026, and a 2013 facility table listed a local jail count of three. Those are snapshots, not a capacity or average daily population.
Search Chase County Jail Inmates
The official jail page posts a roster list, but it is not a searchable database. It lists names only in the public text inspected. There are no visible profile links, mugshots, booking numbers, charge fields, bond fields, or search filters. For full custody status, call the jail or use the court and state/federal locators when the person does not fit current county custody.
- Open the Chase County Jail page and scroll to the Inmate Roster section.
- Review the listed names because no search box or filter is visible.
- Call 308-882-4748 for recent booking, release, bond, transfer, or hold questions.
- Use NDCS after a state-prison sentence or transfer.
- Use ICE ODLS, BOP, or the U.S. Marshals District of Nebraska for immigration or federal custody.
Chase County Jail Address
The sheriff's office, jail, and courthouse-centered records access all point to the Imperial courthouse address. Because the public site does not separate the jail from the sheriff's office location, visitors should treat the trip as a courthouse arrival and call first if they need records staff, accessibility details, or a visit appointment.
The official sources did not publish a named visitor lot, parking fee, public-transit route, visitor entrance diagram, or ADA entrance detail. Drivers coming from U.S. Highway 6 or Nebraska Highway 61 should navigate to downtown Imperial and confirm the final route in a live mapping app. Anyone who needs an elevator, accessible parking, or help reaching the lower-floor jail area should call before leaving.

Mail, Phone, and Money
The sheriff page directs communications through CIDNET or Visitel for telephone, remote video, email, and text. It also says users can create an account and deposit funds through the communication vendor path. A full local mail policy, banned-item list, book rule, photo limit, property rule, or commissary fee table was not found in the official sheriff page text.
| Service | Provider or Detail | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Phone, video, email, text | CIDNET / Visitel | Account setup, fees, and current inmate availability |
| Courthouse video terminal | Chase County Courthouse lower floor | Appointment at least 24 hours in advance |

Booking at Chase County Jail
Chase County does not publish a step-by-step booking manual. A typical local arrest can involve the sheriff, Imperial Police, Nebraska State Patrol, or another law-enforcement agency. Intake normally includes identity confirmation, warrant and hold checks, property inventory, search, fingerprinting, booking photo, screening, classification, and jail-register entry.
Nebraska law requires a jail register with the prisoner's name, commitment cause and date, discharge information, sickness, labor, jail rules operations, and other required matters. If the public roster is too thin, request the jail register entry, booking sheet, booking photo, incident report, or release record from the sheriff's office under Nebraska public-records law. The Chase County inmate records page explains the full access chain.
ICE and State Prison Transfers
ICE's facility listing for Chase County Jail means immigration custody questions should not be answered only from the county roster. Use ICE ODLS by A-number and country of birth, or by name, country of birth, and date of birth. ICE detainee mail, visitation, and commissary instructions may differ from standard county inmate rules, so verify through ICE and the jail before sending money or mail.
State-prison custody is also separate. No NDCS state prison is physically located in Chase County. Once a person is sentenced to state prison, NDCS controls classification, facility assignment, prison records, and public locator entries. The county jail may no longer have current housing details after transfer.
Chase County Jail Oversight
The Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Standards page says the Jail Standards program is tied to minimum standards for adult and juvenile criminal detention facilities. Staff conduct annual inspections and submit written reports to the Jail Standards Board. No Chase-specific inspection report was captured in the accessible research, and no official consent decree, DOJ investigation, jail construction bond, major conditions lawsuit, or death-in-custody release was located.
Note: Confirm custody, visit times, and mailing rules with Chase County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
