Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Grant County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. New bookings do not always appear right away because staff must complete intake, identification, and data entry first. Processing can take several hours, so a person arrested recently may not be searchable immediately. If the roster does not show the person after a reasonable time, contact the facility directly for current custody information.
