This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release status, post a bond, release anyone, or obtain an official booking record. For any of those actions, use the appropriate Phelps County office below.
Official Phelps County Record Routes
Custody, booking, bond, police-report, and court questions do not all go to the same office. Use the details below to reach the office that is most likely to control the record, and include a full name, relevant date range, JailId, or case number when known.
Sheriff and booking-record requests
Phelps County Sheriff, Sheriff Gene Samuelson715 5th Ave Ste 20
Holdrege, NE 68949
Phone: 308-995-5692
Office hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Primary fax: 308-995-3101
The dedicated sheriff page lists 308-995-3101 as its fax number. A general county contacts page shows a different number, so confirm the fax by phone before sending a time-sensitive document. For a booking sheet or photograph, make a written request and ask the receiving office to identify the correct custodian if necessary. No local published booking-photo fee schedule was located. Nebraska's public-record process allows permitted copy charges and a fee estimate before work begins.
Current custody, bond, and facility questions
Phelps County Corrections715 5th Avenue, Suite 20
Holdrege, NE 68949
Phone: 308-995-3129
Written-request starting points: penny@phelpscountyso.com and gene@phelpscountyso.com
Corrections handles facility questions and is the official path behind the current roster. Warrant-arrest bond information generally requires a call. For a fresh arrest, bond may be set by schedule or by a judge within 48 hours. The facility says charges are not provided until arraignment, so a call about a bond is not a substitute for a court record or booking-record request.
County and district court follow-up
Use the court channel for arraignment, case status, disposition, and the record of what occurred after a booking. Do not assume the jail, sheriff, county court, and district court hold the same file.

Where to begin
The right starting point depends on the person’s custody status and the record sought.
- For a person currently held, review the official Phelps County Corrections roster, then call Corrections if the entry is missing or unclear.
- For a booking record or a non-displayed official photograph, send a narrow written request to the sheriff or Corrections and ask for a fee estimate under Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-712.
- For a court case, arraignment, or disposition, contact the appropriate county or district court, or use Nebraska JUSTICE eServices.
- For a person sentenced to state custody, use the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services search, not the county roster.
- For federal custody or an immigration hold, use the official BOP inmate locator or ICE locator, as appropriate.
- For a Phelps County warrant question, see the official-routing guidance on Most Wanted Fugitives; do not rely on a stale roster entry as warrant confirmation.
