About the Saunders County Correction Facility

Situated between the DMV and a bank, the 168-bed Saunders County Correction Facility is within the Law Enforcement and Judicial Center has a sally port located on the side of the hill, easy access and parking for visitors and staff, and stands two stories high with small, squared windows where the cells are located.

Within the Law Enforcement building is the courthouse, the jail, and offices for the sheriff.

Both misdemeanor and felony charged offenders from Saunders County are booked and held at the Saunders County Correction Facility, both as they wait for their trial or sentencing and also as they serve a short sentence, under a year in length.

Dodge County offenders are also housed here.

Access to the inmate roster is available online and staff are able to provide information about visits, bail, and procedures when you call them at 402-443-8146.

Mental and physical health care is provided as needed, with prescriptions being accepted at the jail in the original packaging with directions from the physician, BUT other personal items are NOT accepted.

Recreational opportunities are provided, and staff engage in and encourage positive interactions and a supportive environment. It is encouraged for family members and friends to remain in contact with a detainee through accepting phone calls, sending and receiving letters through the post office, and visiting when possible. This contact has been shown to encourage better mental health for their families as well as inmates, and that improves the safety of the building and everyone within.

Mail is checked for contraband and all pictures, and some mail will be scanned and delivered to the inmate via the tablet program, which also supports emessaging and other services. Softcover books and magazines are also permitted if they are sent directly from the publisher or retailer and may not be sent via individual mail.

Send all personal mail through the US Postal Service and use the inmate's legal name while also providing a return address to:
