This is a private reference site, not a Cherry County government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a detainee, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. Use the government offices below for those actions.
Where to Start
For a current Cherry County custody question, start with the Justice Center or Sheriff's Office. The county has not posted an official public online jail roster, so phone, in-person contact, and written public-records requests are the main local channels.
