Fillmore County Inmate Population Overview
The local Fillmore County inmate population centers on the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office Jail in Geneva. Official county sources identify the sheriff's office at 900 G Street as the custody contact point, name Sheriff Mark McFarland, and list Mel Coetzee as Correction Supervisor. The county site does not publish a separate jail handbook, public current-custody roster, rated capacity, or live population dashboard. That limits what can be stated from official sources, but it does not mean the jail function is inactive. County board material references Guardian RFID for jail security and cell checks, and later board minutes reference Central Square software for sheriff, dispatch, and jail operations.
The Fillmore County inmate population includes local arrestees, pretrial detainees, and short-term county jail prisoners when they are in sheriff custody. A person sentenced to the Nebraska prison system leaves the county jail count and is searched through the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration records search. Federal prisoners use the Bureau of Prisons locator, and immigration detainees use ICE ODLS. Those systems do not show a state, federal, or ICE detention facility physically located in Fillmore County.
Fillmore County Inmate Population Statistics
Official Fillmore County pages reviewed for this build did not publish a local jail bed count, average daily population, annual admissions total, or demographic table. The Nebraska Crime Commission jail demographic data dashboard is the strongest official statewide source identified for jail admissions and demographic research, and the research notes identify Fillmore County SO as a facility or agency reference point. Exact Fillmore County figures were not extracted from a static public table, so the local rows below preserve the limits of the source record.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Fillmore County jail rated capacity | Not published in official sources reviewed | County sheriff, jail standards, and research review, 2026 |
| Fillmore County current jail population | Not published on an official county roster | No county roster or dashboard located, 2026 |
| Fillmore County annual bookings or admissions | Not extracted from a static public table | Nebraska Crime Commission dashboard identified, 2026 |
| Nebraska active adult detention facilities | 72 active jail facilities and 4 juvenile detention facilities | Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Standards |
| Nebraska statewide incarceration rate | 591 per 100,000 residents | Prison Policy Initiative Nebraska profile |
| Nebraska jail pretrial share | 73 percent pretrial | Vera Institute Nebraska trends |
The statewide figures give context, not a substitute for a Fillmore County jail count. Nebraska jail trends matter because small counties can have sharp swings when a few arrests, holds, or transfers happen in a short period. For a same-day count, the sheriff's office remains the local source.
Fillmore County Inmate Population Trends
No official Fillmore County multi-year jail population report was located. The available trend record is more operational than statistical: public county material confirms jail-related technology and sheriff software, while the county site does not post annual bookings, average daily population, or occupancy by year. That makes a trend table useful only if it marks the missing data clearly.
| Year | Fillmore County ADP / Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Not located | No official county-published jail trend report found. |
| 2023 | Not located | Research notes found board material but no population table. |
| 2024 | Not located | Crime Commission dashboard may support interactive admissions review. |
| 2025 | Not located | Board minutes reference Guardian RFID and Central Square jail operations. |
| 2026 | Not located | No official current roster or live dashboard located. |
The absence of a public trend report affects search strategy. A reader trying to estimate how many people are in custody should not infer a count from the county website. Direct confirmation through the sheriff's office is more reliable for current jail status, while statewide dashboards help with broader Nebraska jail analysis.
Who Makes Up the Fillmore County Jail Population
Fillmore County does not publish a demographic breakdown for the local jail on the official pages reviewed. The likely public categories are instead defined by custody stage. Local arrestees and pretrial detainees begin with sheriff custody. Some people may serve short county jail terms. Others move to state prison after sentencing, and their public locator record then belongs to NDCS. A federal hold, U.S. Marshals matter, or immigration detainer can add another layer, but no federal or ICE facility was found in the county.
- Pretrial vs. sentenced: Not published for Fillmore County in the local sources reviewed.
- Sex and age: No county jail demographic table was located.
- Charge level: Felony and misdemeanor mix was not posted by the county.
- Agency holds: Holds are possible, but no county hold report was published.
Statewide Nebraska data can explain the setting. Vera's Nebraska summary reports a large pretrial share in jails, and the Nebraska Crime Commission describes state oversight of active jail facilities. Those sources do not prove the makeup of the Fillmore County inmate population on a given day, so local custody questions still return to the sheriff.
Laws Behind Fillmore County Jail Records
Nebraska law starts from public access, but jail and law-enforcement records are not all released in the same way. A booking record, release record, charge entry, bond notation, or mugshot request should be described with enough detail for the sheriff's office to identify the record. Agencies may still withhold or redact records when a statute allows it, especially for active investigations, privacy interests, or security concerns.
Key Nebraska statutes:
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-712 states that public records are open for examination and copying unless another statute says otherwise.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-712.01 defines public records broadly for counties and political subdivisions.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-3521 treats arrest-identification photos, police blotters, and court records as public-record information for dissemination purposes.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 83-4,124 creates the Jail Standards Board policy for minimum detention-facility standards.
Nebraska Chapter 47 jail provisions place county jail custody duties with the sheriff and require conformity with Jail Standards Board rules.
Fillmore County and State Prison Search
The sheriff page links to the Nebraska state inmate population search, which is helpful but easy to misunderstand. That link points to NDCS incarceration records for sentenced state prisoners. It is not a live Fillmore County jail roster for new arrests, first appearances, or recent bookings. If a person was arrested in Fillmore County and later sentenced to state prison, the public trail may begin with the sheriff and court offices in Geneva and later continue through NDCS.
The NDCS facilities list shows no state correctional facility in Fillmore County. State prisoners from Fillmore County may be received, classified, and housed elsewhere in Nebraska. NDCS public fields can include DCS ID number, legal name, date of birth, facility, sentence begin date, parole eligibility date, earliest possible release date, current status, and release details.
How to Search Fillmore County Inmates
An official Fillmore County current jail roster was not located on the county or sheriff website. The county's own sheriff page instead lists the local sheriff contact and links to the state inmate population search. For current county jail custody, the search path begins with direct sheriff confirmation, then moves through court, victim-notification, state, federal, or immigration systems as facts change.
- Call the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office at 402-759-4441 for current local custody or recent booking status.
- Ask whether the person is held at the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office Jail, has been released, or was transferred.
- Search the Nebraska court calendar for upcoming Fillmore County Court or District Court appearances.
- Use the NDCS locator if the person has been sentenced to state prison.
- Search NEVCAP for victim notification or offender status when that system supports the custody event.
- Use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System only for federal or immigration custody.
The same path helps with released inmates. If the person is no longer in local custody, ask the sheriff for releasable booking and release records. For filed charges and outcomes, use court records rather than a jail roster.
Current Fillmore County Inmate Lookup
The local search-field table is short because the official county roster was not found. That absence matters. A reader should not expect to enter a name on the county site and see booking photos, bond, housing, or release dates. The sheriff's phone line is the local information channel for recent bookings and current custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fillmore County jail roster | Not available | Not applicable | No official county current-custody roster was located. |
| Last name for NDCS | Text | Yes unless DCS ID is used | State-prison search only, not county jail custody. |
| DCS ID number | Text or numeric | Yes for ID search | Useful after a person enters NDCS custody. |
| NEVCAP name, offender ID, or booking ID | Text | Varies by path | Victim notification and offender search channel. |
The county phone directory is useful because the justice offices are clustered. It lists the sheriff, county court, district court, county attorney, probation, and 911 communications. That makes Geneva the practical hub for custody, first appearance, and court-record questions.
What Fillmore County Inmate Records Show
Because no official county roster was located, county profile fields cannot be described as visible online. A records request should ask for the exact booking or jail record instead. Use the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, booking date, case number, and arresting agency. Ask for admission and release dates, charge or intake entries, bond type and amount if set, and whether a booking photograph is releasable.
| Requested Field | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Full name and aliases | Helps separate people with similar names. |
| Booking and release dates | Shows when county jail custody began and ended. |
| Arresting agency | Identifies whether the sheriff, local police, or another agency made the arrest. |
| Charges or arrest allegations | Shows intake allegations, which may differ from filed court charges. |
| Bond and hold status | Explains whether release is possible or blocked by another authority. |
| Booking photograph | May be public-record information under Nebraska law, subject to processing and exceptions. |
Fillmore County Jail vs State Prison
A jail record and a prison record answer different questions. County jail records are local and time-sensitive. They relate to arrest, booking, bond, holds, first appearance, and short local custody. State prison records follow a person after sentence and transfer to NDCS. Federal and immigration systems are separate again.
| Custody Type | Who It Covers | Where to Look |
|---|---|---|
| Fillmore County jail | Local arrestees, pretrial detainees, and short-term jail prisoners | Fillmore County Sheriff's Office, 402-759-4441 |
| Nebraska state prison | Sentenced prisoners in NDCS custody | NDCS incarceration records search |
| Federal prison | Federal prisoners from 1982 to present | BOP inmate locator |
| Immigration detention | People in ICE custody | ICE ODLS by A-number or biographical search |
Two court tools sit between jail and prison. Nebraska JUSTICE shows filed trial court cases for a fee, while the public court calendar can show current and future court dates. Those tools do not prove a person is still in custody, but they can confirm that a criminal case has opened after an arrest.
Fillmore County Detention Facility
Official-source research found one local detention facility for the Fillmore County inmate population. No separate municipal jail, work-release center, regional jail, state prison, BOP facility, or ICE detention facility was located in the county. Geneva contracts with the county sheriff for law-enforcement service, and Fairmont dispatch routes through the sheriff, so local custody questions point back to county channels.
- Fillmore County Sheriff's Office Jail - the sheriff-operated local custody point for Fillmore County arrestees, pretrial detainees, and short-term jail matters.
For statewide prison custody, use NDCS. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE. The facility name should not be stretched into a separate state or federal jail because official sources did not support that.
Official Fillmore County Source Pages
The official Fillmore County Sheriff's Office page is the key local source for sheriff staff, office address, hours, and the state inmate-search link.
This source is important because it confirms the local contact point while also showing why the state inmate search can be mistaken for a county roster.
The Nebraska jail demographic data dashboard is the official statewide source identified for jail admissions and demographics research.
Use that dashboard for statewide and county jail data checks when available, but confirm same-day Fillmore County custody with the sheriff.
Fillmore County Inmate Population FAQ
How big is the Fillmore County inmate population?
The exact current count was not published in the official county sources reviewed. No live roster or county dashboard was located. The sheriff's office is the local source for same-day custody confirmation, and the Nebraska Crime Commission dashboard is the identified official source for broader jail demographic research.
Can I search Fillmore County inmates online?
No official Fillmore County current jail roster was located. Start with the sheriff's office for local custody. Use NDCS only for sentenced state prisoners, NEVCAP for notification-related status, BOP for federal prisoners, and ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
Does the state inmate search show county jail inmates?
The state search is an NDCS prison locator. It may not show a person newly arrested in Fillmore County, waiting for first appearance, or held briefly in county custody. That is why the sheriff's office remains the first local access channel.
Where are court records after a Fillmore County arrest?
Filed charges and case events are court records, not jail roster entries. Fillmore County Court handles many county-court criminal matters, District Court handles felony and general-jurisdiction records, and Nebraska JUSTICE or the court calendar can help locate public case activity.
