Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Stillwater County MT Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate by 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, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. New bookings are not always searchable right away because intake, identification, and record entry can take several hours. If a person does not appear immediately after an arrest, check again later or contact the facility for current custody information. Records can change as charges are updated, bond is posted, or a court orders release or transfer.
