What are Nebraska Jail Records?

Nebraska Jail records are paper documents and forms that are filled out and filed into a computerized system for each inmate in the state. These records are kept updated frequently and cover everything from inmate visitors, court dates, and appearances, rulings, charges, sentencing, medical screenings or other things that take place in the life of an inmate. An inmate’s jail record follows them through their entire stay in state prison. Prison administrators keep the files updated and share them with all other law enforcement agencies. The sharing of information keeps everyone on the same page and helps eliminate errors. All jail records can be accessed via add NE prison locator tool.
