How to Find an Inmate at Winner City Jail
To find someone held at the facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because booking, identification, and data entry can take several hours. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate local law enforcement agency for current custody information. In South Dakota, people arrested locally may also be transferred to a county jail or regional detention facility, so checking related Bennett County records may also be necessary.
