Find Butler County Detention Center Inmates

Butler County Jail Overview

Butler County Sheriff's Office is the official local source for the detention center contact path. Its sheriff page lists the office at 451 N 5th Street in David City and says the sheriff's office manages the county jail along with patrol, emergency response, investigations, communications, community outreach, and sex-offender registration. For Colfax County readers, the important role is contract housing after a Colfax arrest.

The research did not locate an official Butler County Nebraska online inmate roster, mugshot gallery, public booking search, or detailed inmate-services page. That absence matters. A person arrested in Colfax County should not be assumed to be in Butler custody merely because Butler is one contract option. The first call should be to Colfax County Sheriff's Office, followed by Butler only when Colfax staff or another official source identifies Butler as the receiving jail.

The matching manifest image comes from the official Butler sheriff page, which confirms the sheriff office and jail-management context: Butler County Sheriff's Office source page.

The source supports Butler as a real county jail contact route, while the Colfax housing link comes from the interlocal agreement material in the research file.

Butler Detention Capacity Notes

Official web text inspected for Butler County did not provide a jail rated capacity, average daily population, pod count, or demographic table. The research did locate a Butler County Board of Supervisors minutes PDF dated February 17, 2026. In that official minutes source, Jail Administrator Angie Siebken presented an interlocal agreement signed by Colfax County for housing inmates, and the minutes discussed Butler County's current rate as $50 per day.

That record is important, but it should not be stretched. It confirms active Colfax contract housing and gives a rate discussed in county minutes. It does not identify a specific Butler bed count or a current number of Colfax inmates housed there. The most accurate population statement is that Butler may hold Butler County detainees and contracted Colfax County inmates when assigned there.

Search Butler County Custody

No official Butler County Nebraska roster was located in the inspected sources. Because several states have counties named Butler, the safe search path is to stay with official Nebraska sources. Colfax-origin cases should begin with the Colfax County Jail page and sheriff phone line. If Colfax confirms Butler housing, call Butler directly for custody, visit, mail, property, and money rules.

1. Start with Colfax County Sheriff's Office if the arrest occurred in Colfax County or the person was last known to be in Colfax holding.
2. Ask whether the person was transferred to Butler County Detention Center, released, moved to court, or sent to another contract facility.
3. Use Butler County Sheriff's Office contact information only after Butler housing is confirmed or strongly indicated by an official record.
4. Search the NDCS incarceration record search only after the person has been sentenced to state prison.
5. Use BOP or ICE locators for federal or immigration custody, since those systems are separate from Nebraska county detention.

Butler County Contact

The official Butler sheriff page supplies the facility address and phone number. It also identifies Sheriff Tom Dion and lists a fax number. When calling about a Colfax County inmate, use the person's full name, approximate arrest date, and Colfax connection. Butler staff may need to confirm whether they hold the person, whether information must come from Colfax, or whether the person is in another facility.

Butler County Visiting

The inspected Butler County source did not publish a visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, dress code, visitor approval form, or mail policy. For Colfax County families, that means visitation planning should wait until Butler housing is confirmed. If another contract jail holds the person, Butler's rules will not apply. If Butler does hold the person, the facility can tell callers whether visits are in person, video-based, by appointment, or restricted by classification.

Butler Inmate Services

The research did not find Butler County Nebraska pages for commissary, deposits, phone accounts, remote bond payment, care packages, or inmate property release. Those gaps should be preserved rather than filled with vendor assumptions. Nebraska county jails can use different providers, and a vendor used by Platte or Antelope should not be copied to Butler without an official Butler source.

Butler County Intake

Butler-specific intake steps were not published in the inspected source set. For a Colfax County arrest, the intake sequence begins with the arresting or holding agency, then moves to a contract facility if custody continues. Once Butler accepts a transferred person, Butler becomes the source for housing status, local jail rules, account services, and release logistics. Colfax may still hold the arrest or transport record, while Butler may hold facility intake records.

Do not use generic jail language that promises a public booking profile, instant mugshot, or searchable charge page. The research found no official Butler roster or booking photo gallery. If a booking sheet, arrest photo, or property record is needed, ask which agency created and keeps that record, then use the public-records process for that custodian.

Butler Records and Colfax Cases

A Colfax-origin inmate housed in Butler can generate more than one record trail. Colfax Sheriff may have the arrest, holding, and transport record. Butler may have the jail intake and housing record. Colfax County Court or District Court may have the formal charge record after filing. NDCS, BOP, and ICE remain separate systems if the person moves out of local jail custody.

For broad Colfax lookup steps, the Colfax County jail inmate records page explains why there is no single county roster and how the contract jail chain works. For Butler-specific questions, the official sheriff phone line is the practical point of contact.
