Hall County Department of Corrections Overview

The Hall County Department of Corrections is the primary and only distinct detention facility identified in official Hall County sources. It is operated under the Hall County Board of Corrections / Hall County Department of Corrections and is located at 110 Public Safety Drive in Grand Island. The Sheriff's Office and Grand Island Police Department sit nearby at 111 Public Safety Drive, creating a public-safety campus on the east edge of Grand Island.

The facility is a county jail and correctional facility, not a Nebraska state prison. The inmate/detainee handbook says the county-owned facility was constructed in 2008. The 2024 PREA audit lists minimum, medium, and maximum custody levels, both female and male populations, an age range of 16 to 85, and 11 inmate/resident/detainee housing units. It can hold local pretrial detainees, sentenced local inmates, youthful inmates when legally held, work release and house arrest participants, and possible federal or immigration detainees under contract.

The Corrections home page screenshot source shows the county facility page, prisoner information number, lobby hours, and inmate-list links.

That page is the official local hub for the facility, current inmates, released inmates, media reports, FAQ, handbook, PREA, work release, and house arrest links.

Hall County Corrections Capacity

The 2024 PREA final audit is the main sourced population record for this facility. It lists a designed capacity of 321, a current population of 235 on the facility information page, 267 average daily population for the prior 12 months, and 259 people on the first day of the onsite audit. The audit also says the facility was not over capacity at any point in the prior 12 months.

Look Up Hall County Corrections Inmates

Current local custody is searched through the Hall County current inmate list. The county roster is a full table, not a search form. It updates every two hours and shows name, booking number, time incarcerated, and booking-photo thumbnail. Released people can appear on the daily released inmate list, while the media report archive is the better route for date-based jail reports and bond information.

1. Open the current inmate list and check the update time.
2. Find the person's name on the full roster table.
3. Compare the booking number and time incarcerated to avoid confusing similar names.
4. Use the released list or media report archive if the person is no longer current.
5. Use NDCS, BOP, ICE, or NEVCAP if custody has moved out of the county jail system.

Sentenced Nebraska state prisoners are searched through NDCS Incarceration Records, not this facility page. Federal sentenced custody is searched through BOP, and immigration custody is searched through ICE ODLS once the person is in ICE custody.

Hall County Corrections Address

The facility's public contact details come from county Corrections pages and the PREA audit. The prisoner information number and work release or house arrest number are both listed as (308) 385-5206. The 2024 PREA audit lists the administration number as (308) 385-5211 and names Todd Bahensky as Warden/Jail Administrator/Sheriff/Director, with Jason Conley as a primary contact and PREA coordinator.

Lobby hours on the county Corrections page are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.

Visiting Hall County Corrections

Hall County uses CIDNET for on-site and at-home video visits. Visits must be scheduled in advance, and the visitor must be on the inmate contact list. Friends and family need an email address, valid U.S. photo ID, date of birth, and home address to link with inmates. All video sessions are monitored and recorded.

The Corrections FAQ screenshot source shows Hall County's CIDNET, visitation, money, bond, and property guidance.

The FAQ is the best official source for visit setup and practical jail lobby rules.

Note: On-site visitors must secure personal items outside the visit area or in lockers and may bring only ID, vehicle keys, and cash.

Mail Money and Property

The inmate handbook says court filings must be done through legal mail or an attorney. Legal mail for courts is delivered Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except court holidays. Inmates may request unmonitored calls to courts or legal counsel by written inmate request with contact information. Housing units include telephones, inmate communication devices, and visitation stations.

No official sick-call fee, commissary price list, or detailed mail-size rule was extracted from the inspected snippets. Those details should be confirmed with the facility rather than guessed.

Hall County Booking and Intake

After arrest by the Sheriff's Office, Grand Island Police, Nebraska State Patrol, or another agency, the person is transported to Hall County Department of Corrections for intake. Booking creates the local booking number, photo, and time-incarcerated entry that appears on the current inmate list. The roster updates every two hours, so very new bookings may not appear immediately.

Intake includes property handling and classification. The PREA audit and handbook show that the facility screens and houses different custody levels, including minimum, medium, and maximum. The handbook says housing units have dayrooms, showers, telephones, inmate communication devices, visitation stations, and recreation areas nearby except in work-release dorm areas.

Hall County Programs and PREA

Hall County Corrections' mission includes identifying and accommodating treatment and needs of incarcerated people and preparing them for reintegration. The Corrections page links work release, house arrest, fingerprints, PREA, FAQ, the inmate handbook, and job openings. The handbook includes topics such as inmate workers, searches, hygiene, grievances, discipline, medical education, telephones, and inmate communication devices.

The PREA page explains that PREA applies to jails and correctional settings to protect inmates from sexual assault, sexual harassment, staff sexual misconduct, and inmate-on-inmate sexual assault. The 2024 final audit found 45 standards met and 0 standards not met.

The PREA material provides facility conditions context without relying on unsourced claims.

Hall County Corrections Records

The current corrections facility should not be confused with the historic 1904 courthouse jail. Hall County's historical page describes the older courthouse and jail, while official corrections material identifies the current Department of Corrections facility as the 2008 Public Safety Drive jail. The media report archive is unusually useful because Hall County says it reaches back to 11/15/2005 and includes bond information.

For missing records, Hall County's written public-records process applies. Send jail booking requests to the record custodian when known. If the custodian is unclear, the County Attorney at 231 South Locust St., Grand Island, NE 68801, phone (308) 385-5150, can accept and forward the written request. For state prison custody, use NDCS public records and the NDCS locator instead of this facility.
