How to Find an Inmate at Heart River Correctional Center

Jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status.

If a person was recently arrested and is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the Morton County Sheriff’s Office for guidance. Roster information can change as court orders, releases, transfers, or bond postings are processed.
