Grand Forks Co. Juvenile Detention Inmate Search
Grand Forks County Inmate Search and Booking Information
Check the Grand Forks County booking report if you are trying to find someone at the county correctional center. The PDF includes a report time so you can tell how recent the information is.
Grand Forks County Correctional Center is at 1701 North Washington Street, Grand Forks, ND 58203. For current custody and booking questions call 701-780-8224.
Have the full name and date of birth ready. If the arrest was recent, ask whether booking is complete and whether the person is being held somewhere else. Confirm custody before paying a bond, depositing money or driving to the jail.
1. How do I find the person on the official roster?
Open the official custody search. Search the report by last name. Use the date of birth and other details to confirm a match. Read all entries under the person before calling about bond or release. A single booking can include multiple charges.
↑ Back to the question list2. What if the name does not come up?
Check the spelling and confirm which agency made the arrest. Call 701-780-8224 and ask whether the booking is complete, the person was released or another facility took custody. Give the full legal name and date of birth privately.
↑ Back to the question list3. Where can I see a booking photo and charges?
The county report can show booking photos alongside charges, bonds and release information. A date or amount in the report may change. Confirm release directly with the center before making pickup plans.
↑ Back to the question list4. Who do I call if city police made the arrest?
Grand Forks Police Department is at 122 South Fifth Street, Grand Forks, ND 58201. Its main number is 701-787-8000. If another agency made the arrest, ask that agency for the booking destination. Police contact information
↑ Back to the question list5. How do I check for a warrant?
Contact the issuing agency or court to confirm warrant status. A booking report is a snapshot of people in custody. It cannot tell you whether a warrant exists for someone who has not been booked.
↑ Back to the question list6. Which other facility should I check?
East Grand Forks is in Minnesota. If the arrest was across the Red River, ask the arresting agency which Minnesota facility took custody. A name missing from the Grand Forks County report cannot settle that question.
↑ Back to the question list7. Can I get a custody change alert?
Look for the person through North Dakota SAVIN / VINELink and follow the registration steps for the available notification options. Call the jail if you need to confirm an immediate change.
↑ Back to the question list8. How do I visit or speak to someone?
The county offers video visits through HomeWav. Visitors register for approval, and the county requires on-site visits to be scheduled in advance. Check the posted lobby hours and wait for confirmation. Official visit instructions
↑ Back to the question list9. Can I leave a message or send money?
Use the adult corrections page for the county’s current contact instructions. If you are arranging a visit, verify the name of the person and allow time for the facility’s approval process. County facility information
↑ Back to the question list10. Where do I ask about bail and pickup?
Call 701-780-8224 with the booking details and ask about current holds and the authorized payment location. Check the Grand Forks County bail guide for the local release process. Wait for confirmation before arranging pickup.
↑ Back to the question list11. How can I check the court date?
Search the North Dakota court records by the available case information. Confirm any near-term appearance with the clerk or lawyer. The Grand Forks County court guide explains the local court process.
↑ Back to the question list12. What if the person moved to state or federal custody?
Check the North Dakota DOCR lookup for state residents. For federal prison custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For a recent federal arrest, ask counsel which agency arranged pretrial custody.
