How to look up someone at Broadwater County Detention Center (Current inmates & 48‑hour releases)
Trying to confirm whether someone is currently in custody or was recently released? Broadwater County posts an online inmate roster with two separate lists: current inmates and 48-hour releases. Here's how to find each one, and what to do if something looks off.
Head to the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office page titled
- Open the inmate roster page - Look for the page titled “Broadwater County Detention Center Inmate Roster.”
- Click “Current Inmates” - This link takes you to the list of people currently at the Broadwater County Detention Center.
- Open the inmate roster page - This is the same roster hub used for the current list.
- Click “48 Hour Release” - Use this when you are trying to confirm a recent release, since it shows people released from the Broadwater County Detention Center within the last 48 hours.
The roster is a public convenience tool, not an official record. The site itself notes that Broadwater County Detention Center cannot certify the accuracy or authenticity of the information posted. Treat the online roster as a starting point. For time-sensitive decisions, verify custody status or release information directly with the Sheriff's Office.
