Fremont County Jail Records
The source set reviewed for Fremont County did not locate an official online current-inmate roster on the county or sheriff website. For live custody, call Fremont County Jail at 712-374-2115 first. The sheriff's administrative line, 712-374-2424, is the next local route for records questions. Written or in-person requests use the Fremont County Sheriff's Office at 2814 200th St., PO Box 359, Sidney, IA 51652-0359. Sheriff Kevin Aistrope is listed on the official sheriff pages, and the contact card also lists Chief Deputy Tim Bothwell.
Fremont County inmate records are split by custody stage. A person arrested and still held locally is a county jail matter. A person with filed criminal charges may have a case in Iowa Courts Online. A person sentenced to prison from Fremont County moves into the Iowa Department of Corrections search system. Federal custody uses the Bureau of Prisons locator, and immigration detention uses ICE's detainee locator or the responsible field office. Old sheriff press releases can help confirm an arrest, but they should not be treated as proof of current custody.
The official sheriff contact page shows the jail line, office line, fax, address, sheriff, and chief deputy in one local card.
That contact source is the practical starting point because Fremont County has no verified public roster form in the reviewed official materials.
Use Fremont County Jail Search
The most accurate answer to "how do I find someone in the Fremont County jail" is a fallback chain, not a web form. Use the direct jail number for current custody. Use sheriff press releases and arrest logs for recent public arrest information. Use VINE for release and transfer notice. Use Iowa Courts Online for filed charges after booking. If the person cannot be found locally after sentencing, search Iowa DOC by name, offender number, or county of commitment.
- Call Fremont County Jail at 712-374-2115 with the person's full name, date of birth if known, and arrest date or incident number if available.
- Check the Fremont County Sheriff's press-release page for recent adult arrests, charge text, bond status, and sheriff-published images.
- If the arrest appears in a log, record the name, arrest date, charge code, incident number, warrant number, and release reason before calling the sheriff's office.
- Register with Fremont County Victim Witness VINE guidance or Iowa VINE when release, transfer, or escape notification is needed.
- Search Iowa Courts Online for filed charges, hearing dates, case numbers, and court status after the clerk enters the case.
- Use Iowa DOC Offender Search after a prison sentence or DOC transfer, and select Fremont as the county of commitment when useful.
No Fremont County sheriff-specific mobile app was confirmed as an official roster channel. MobilePatrol was not documented in the research as a Fremont County jail roster source, so it should not replace a jail call or sheriff records request.
Fremont County Roster Fields
Because no official Fremont County online roster was found, the county roster search-field table has only one verified entry. The field limits are still useful: they prevent a reader from wasting time hunting for a form the official source set did not document. The local public record trail is the sheriff phone, sheriff press releases, arrest-log PDFs, VINE, Iowa Courts Online, and Iowa DOC.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official Fremont County online jail roster located | N/A | N/A | No county roster form was found on official Fremont County pages. Use the jail phone, sheriff office, press releases, arrest logs, VINE, Iowa Courts Online, and Iowa DOC. |
For sheriff-published arrest logs, the practical fields are name, age, address or hometown, arrest location, arresting agency, arrest date and time, Iowa Code section, charge description, incident number, warrant number, and release reason. Juvenile entries in the sample PDF are redacted as juvenile, not listed by name.
Fremont County Record Details
What does a roster record show in Fremont County? There is no inspected current-inmate profile, so the best local inventory comes from the Fremont County arrest press log PDF and the sheriff's press-release page. These are arrest and booking publications, not a live custody profile. They can show who was arrested and why, but custody may change after release, bond, transfer, court order, or sentencing.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Adult arrestee name; juvenile entries are redacted in the inspected sample. |
| Address or hometown | Locality, city, state, or address information as published by the sheriff. |
| Age and sex | Basic identifiers for adult entries when included in the arrest log. |
| Location | Arrest or incident location, such as a highway, mile marker, town, or business. |
| Arresting agency | The agency making the arrest, often the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. |
| Arrested | Date and time of arrest, sometimes written in log format. |
| Code and charge | Iowa Code section and charge description as initially recorded. |
| Incident or warrant number | Sheriff incident number or warrant/case reference when present. |
| Release or status | Release date, release reason, or bond/status wording such as cash bond or surety bond. |
Fremont County Custody Channels
Fremont County Jail is a local county jail. It holds pretrial detainees, locally sentenced jail inmates, and people arrested in Fremont County before release, transfer, or court action. It is not a state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. The Iowa DOC prison list places adult prisons in other Iowa cities, not in Fremont County. The BOP and ICE directories also did not show a Fremont County facility.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Fremont County Jail, 712-374-2115 | Live custody, bond, release, visitation, and booking questions. |
| Recent local arrest record | Sheriff press releases and arrest logs | Published arrest facts, charge text, incident numbers, and status notes. |
| Court charges | Iowa Courts Online | Filed charges, case number, hearings, bond entries, and case disposition. |
| State prison sentence | Iowa DOC Offender Search | Sentenced prisoners, offender number, prison location, and county of commitment. |
| Federal custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present, including location and release status. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE custody using A-number and country or name, country, and birth date. |
The Iowa VINE portal can help with custody and case notification, but it is not a full records request system. Fremont County's Victim Witness page specifically points victims to VINE for notice from Fremont County Jail.
Fremont County Jail Facility
Fremont County has one local detention facility in the facility map: Fremont County Jail. It is operated by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. Research did not locate a separate city jail, regional jail, work-release annex, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center in Fremont County. A 2013 county board record and Vera construction data tie the current law-enforcement center to a 20-bed jail project.

Fremont County Booking Process
Local booking steps are not posted as a jail handbook, but Iowa jail law and Fremont County publications show the main flow. An arrest may be made by a deputy, city officer, Iowa State Patrol, or another agency. If the person is not cited and released or taken elsewhere first, the person is brought to the Fremont County Jail in Sidney. Jail staff identify the person, record custody details, screen for medical and safety issues, inventory property under local rules, and classify housing under Iowa jail standards.
Iowa Code Chapter 356 requires jail calendar information, and Iowa Code 690.2 covers fingerprints and photographs in qualifying arrests. Fremont County arrest logs then show the public side of that process: arrest time, charge code, charge text, incident number, warrant number when applicable, and release reason. Bond may come from a warrant endorsement, the statewide bond schedule, or a magistrate's decision. Court charges can differ from booking charges after prosecutor review.
Custody flow: Arrest, booking, first appearance, bond or hold decision, court case entry, release, transfer, local sentence, or DOC commitment.
Fremont County Jail Visits
Fremont County official sources did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video visit vendor, visitor dress code, attorney visit schedule, or holiday rule. The safe route is to call the jail at 712-374-2115 before visiting. Bring government photo ID, ask about approved items before entering, and confirm whether the person is still in custody. Fremont County is rural, so weather and road conditions can matter for timed visits or bond errands.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Source Status |
|---|---|---|
| Public in-person visit | Not located in official Fremont County sources | Call 712-374-2115. |
| Video visit | Not located in official Fremont County sources | No official county video vendor was found. |
| Attorney visit | Not located in official Fremont County sources | Attorneys should call the jail directly. |
For sentenced Iowa prison inmates, do not use county jail visit rules. Iowa DOC requires visitor approval and uses Ameelio scheduling for approved state prison visits. Those DOC rules apply after transfer to state custody, not to Fremont County Jail unless the jail says otherwise.
Fremont County Inmate Contact
County jail mail and phone rules were not published in official Fremont County sources. Use the known jail address only after confirming the correct inmate name, custody status, booking identifier if needed, and allowed contents with jail staff. The sheriff and jail address is 2814 200th St., PO Box 359, Sidney, IA 51652-0359. The courthouse and county attorney address is different, so do not send jail mail to the courthouse unless an official instructs it.
The Reliance Telephone Fremont County Jail facility page was captured as a vendor source for phone and wallet service, but county-authored rate and deposit rules were not located. Verify current rules with the jail before adding funds. For victims or concerned parties, use VINE for notice, then contact the sheriff, court, or DOC for formal records depending on the record type.
Fremont County Jail Funds
Fremont County did not publish a county jail commissary fee table or deposit policy in the official source set. A Reliance facility page exists, but the research treats it as a vendor channel that must be verified. County resolutions do document one jail cost: the Fremont County Jail room-and-board rate increased from $50 per day to $80 per day effective January 1, 2025. That room-and-board figure is not the same as a public commissary deposit fee.
| Need | Local Channel | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm current custody | Fremont County Jail, 712-374-2115 | Use before sending mail, money, or planning a visit. |
| Commissary or deposit rules | Jail phone and Reliance vendor page | County-authored fee table not located. |
| Phone account | Jail phone and Reliance vendor page | Verify current service and rates before payment. |
| State prison money | Iowa DOC fiduciary account or approved DOC vendors | Only for sentenced prisoners in DOC custody. |
Note: Confirm custody with Fremont County Jail before sending funds, because release, bond, transfer, or sentencing can change the right payment channel.
Fremont County Prison Lookup
Sentenced prisoners from Fremont County are searched through Iowa DOC, not the county jail. The DOC search form accepts first, middle, and last name, offender number, sex, location, offense, county of commitment, and name-search type. County of commitment is useful when the person was sentenced from Fremont County but is housed at a state prison elsewhere in Iowa.
The Iowa DOC Offender Search is the correct state prison channel for sentenced custody and public offender fields.
DOC data is updated on a state schedule and can change after classification, transfer, board action, or sentence recalculation.
Federal and immigration custody require different tools. BOP searches federal inmates from 1982 to the present and may show released or not-in-BOP-custody status. ICE ODLS searches current ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours by A-number and country or by name, country, and date of birth. Neither tool replaces a local Fremont County jail call when the question is whether the person is held at the Sidney jail now.
