We’ve compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for everything you need to know about finding an inmate in the Cass County Jail, how the jail rosters work and what happens after an offender is arrested and booked. If you still have questions after reviewing these FAQs, call 701-271-2900 for further assistance.

The Cass County Jail maintains an average of 348 offenders in custody on any given day. The Cass County Jail has a monthly turnover of 40% of their inmate population, another 30% turnover every 90 days, another 20% every six months, and approximately 10% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Every year Cass County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 8,560 offenders.

The Cass County Sheriff also recommends that you consider using a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Cass County.

• You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Cass County, or in some cases the state of North Dakota, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Cass County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
• The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 701-271-2900 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Cass County inmate locator.
