What You Can and Can't Bring to an Inmate at Burleigh County Detention Center
Dropping off items for someone at Burleigh County Detention Center isn't always straightforward—transfer rules can complicate things. Here's what the facility allows and when staff might refuse items, so you don't waste a trip.
Want to leave clothing for an inmate at Burleigh County Detention Center? Get approval from detention staff first. Just showing up with items doesn't guarantee they'll be accepted - staff need to sign off before anything reaches the inmate.
Transfer status matters. If the inmate was brought in from DOCR for a court appearance, or if they've been ordered to serve their sentence at DOCR, you won't be able to leave items for them at the detention center.
U.S. Marshal inmates face tighter restrictions. They can't take personal items with them during transport, so the facility only accepts medically necessary items for these inmates.

Need to drop off prescription medication? The detention center accepts it 24 hours a day. I'd still recommend calling ahead to confirm any intake instructions - it'll save you time at the front desk.
- Call before you bring clothing - clothing left for inmates must be approved by detention staff.
- Ask whether transfer rules apply - DOCR transport/DOCR sentence status means no items can be left.
- Confirm whether the inmate is a U.S. Marshal inmate - if so, only medically necessary items will be accepted.
- Verify medication drop-off details - prescription medication may be brought in 24 hours a day, but it helps to confirm the process before you arrive.
- Use the main detention center line for answers - call (701) 255-3113.
