Valley County Jail Overview
Valley County Jail is operated through the Valley County Sheriff's Office in Ord, Nebraska. The official Valley County Sheriff's Office page names Sheriff David Scheideler and gives the office address, phone, and fax. The page says the sheriff has charge and custody of the jail and its prisoners. For Greeley County inmate lookup, that official contact matters because Greeley County board minutes show inmate-housing payments to Valley County Sheriff in 2026.
The Greeley County evidence is specific. The March 10, 2026 county board minutes list "Valley County Sheriff inmate housing 1,240.00." The April 14, 2026 minutes list "Valley County Sheriff inmate housing 1,120.00." Those claims do not publish names or daily counts, but they are official local proof that Valley County Jail is part of the Greeley County custody path. A person arrested in Greeley County may therefore have a Greeley County case while being physically held in Ord.
For the Greeley side of that custody path, the Greeley County Sheriff's Office page names Sheriff Paul Deaver as the local sheriff, the Greeley County phone directory confirms the local office numbers, and the Greeley County Court Offices page gives the clerk contact for the case record that follows a jail booking.
The official Valley County sheriff source is shown in this capture from the Valley County Sheriff's Office page.
The official page is the contact anchor for custody verification because the separate booking feed is operational, not a county-domain government source.
Valley County Jail Capacity
A Prison Policy Initiative phone-rate appendix listed Valley County Jail with 6 jail beds and listed Encartele as phone vendor data at the time of that appendix. That capacity number should be treated as historical or appendix-based unless Valley County Sheriff confirms the current rated capacity. The official Valley County sheriff page reviewed for this build did not publish a jail bed count, a current daily population count, a housing-unit chart, or a public capacity certificate.
For Greeley County readers, the most reliable local population fact is not a current headcount. It is the 2026 payment trail showing Greeley County using Valley County Sheriff for inmate housing. That means a Greeley County inmate population check can require two calls: first to Greeley County Sheriff for the local case and transfer status, then to Valley County Sheriff for physical jail custody, visit rules, mail rules, and release procedures.
Look Up Valley County Inmates
Valley County Jail lookup should begin with the official sheriff phone number. The research also found an operational booking feed at vcsodispatchers.wixsite.com/jail that publishes recent bookings and photos, but it is not hosted on an official county government domain. It can be useful as a lead, especially because entries can name the county for which a person was booked, but custody, bond, hold, and release details should be verified with Valley County Sheriff before anyone relies on the feed.
- Call Valley County Sheriff at 308-728-3906 and ask whether the person is currently held at Valley County Jail.
- Give the full name, age or date of birth, arrest date, and whether the case belongs to Greeley County, Valley County, or another county.
- If using the operational feed, scan recent entries by date and name because no search box, filter, or export was observed.
- Confirm bond, hold, court commitment, and release status by phone because the feed is not an official county-domain roster.
- For a state prison sentence after the county case, switch to the NDCS incarcerated-individual search.
The operational booking feed appeared in the image capture from the Valley County booking feed source.
Use the feed as an operational clue, then call the sheriff for the official custody answer, especially when the booking text names Greeley County.
Valley County Jail Contact
The Valley County sheriff contact card is the main official source for a person housed at Valley County Jail. Call before travel, before mailing anything, and before using any deposit or phone service. If the inmate's case began in Greeley County, the Greeley County Sheriff's Office remains important for the local arrest, warrant, court commitment, and records request, but Valley County Jail controls many day-to-day jail instructions while the person is physically held in Ord.

Valley County Jail Visits
No official county-domain Valley County Jail visitation schedule was located. The official sheriff page gives the facility contact and address, but it does not publish visitor days, hours, video visit rules, ID rules, dress code, approval forms, or attorney-visit scheduling details. Because Greeley County prisoners may be housed there by contract, the safe procedure is to call the Valley County Sheriff's Office and ask for the current rule before a visit.
| Facility | Official Schedule Located? | Call First For |
|---|---|---|
| Valley County Jail | No official .gov schedule located | Visit days, times, ID, arrival time, and approval rules. |
| Greeley County Sheriff's Office / jail function | No schedule located | Whether the person is in Greeley custody or housed in Valley County. |
| NDCS prisons | State-level rules apply | Approved visitor lists and state prison scheduling after sentencing. |
Note: do not assume that a Greeley County case can be visited in Greeley if the sheriff confirms contract housing at Valley County Jail.
Valley County Mail Money
The official Valley County sheriff page did not publish a mail format, online commissary link, bond-payment rule, video vendor, tablet rule, or jail phone account page. The research did find the PPI appendix reference to Encartele as phone vendor data for Valley County Jail at the time of that appendix, but that should be verified because vendors and phone contracts can change. Current instructions should come from Valley County Sheriff.
| Service | Documented Detail | Verification Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mail | No official format located | Ask for the exact name, booking number, and address format before sending mail. |
| Phone calls | Encartele listed in PPI appendix | Confirm the current vendor and account setup with Valley County Sheriff. |
| Money deposit | No official vendor located | Do not use an online deposit provider unless the jail confirms it. |
| Bond payment | No official method located | Ask whether cash, card, check, or percentage bond is accepted. |
| Attorney visits | No schedule located | Attorney should arrange access directly with the jail. |
Valley County Booking Intake
The operational Valley booking feed showed a chronological list rather than a searchable database. Entries observed in the research included booking date, booking photo, name, age, residence or hometown, the county for which the person was booked, warrant or charge narrative, bond amount or percentage, and hold notation. The feed did not show a published refresh schedule, historical retention policy, release-removal rule, medical detail, fingerprint data, property inventory, or housing-unit location.
A Greeley County prisoner at Valley County Jail may have a booking entry that names the booking county or case source, but the court case still belongs to the court with jurisdiction over the charge. Bond can change after first appearance or a later bond-review hearing. A hold or detainer can block release even if local bond appears posted. Call the jail before paying bond or planning pickup.
| Booking Field | What It May Show |
|---|---|
| Booking date | Date the entry was posted or the person was booked. |
| Photo | A booking image on the operational feed, not confirmed as an official .gov roster photo. |
| Held for county | Text that may name Valley, Greeley, Howard, or another county. |
| Charge or warrant basis | Warrant, bench warrant, court commitment, hold, or charge narrative. |
| Bond or hold | Bond amount, percentage language, or a hold notation that affects release. |
Valley County Custody Types
Valley County Jail is a county jail, not an NDCS state prison, a BOP federal prison, or an ICE detention center. That distinction prevents lookup errors. Current county-jail custody concerns recent arrests, warrants, court commitments, short local sentences, and contract prisoners. State prison custody begins after a Nebraska prison sentence and transfer to NDCS. Federal and immigration custody have separate agencies and separate locators.
| Person's Status | Where to Search | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Held in Valley County Jail | Valley County Sheriff | The sheriff controls current jail custody and local release rules. |
| Greeley County case housed by contract | Greeley Sheriff plus Valley Sheriff | Greeley tracks the local case; Valley verifies the physical jail custody. |
| Sentenced to Nebraska prison | NDCS locator | State prison records move out of county jail systems. |
| Federal inmate | BOP inmate locator | BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE ODLS covers people in ICE custody and certain recent CBP custody cases. |
Valley County Jail Records
For a Greeley County inmate housed at Valley County Jail, records may exist in more than one place. Valley County Jail can confirm physical custody, booking, visit rules, mail rules, phone access, and release instructions. Greeley County Sheriff remains the source for the local arrest or jail commitment path. The Greeley County Court or District Court record shows filed charges, hearing dates, bond orders, and case outcomes. That split is normal when one county pays another for jail housing.
Nebraska public-records law may support written requests for booking records, jail register entries, arrest reports, booking photos, and commitment information, but exemptions and redactions can apply. Juvenile records, sealed cases, some investigative material, medical details, confidential data, and limited criminal-history information may not be released in full. For the wider county lookup chain, including Greeley records and state prison records, use the Greeley County jail inmate records lookup process.
About Valley County Jail
Valley County Jail matters to Greeley County because the county board's 2026 claims show Valley County Sheriff inmate-housing payments. The official Valley sheriff page confirms the sheriff contact and the sheriff's custody role, while the operational feed gives a public look at recent bookings but must be checked by phone. The record trail points to a small regional jail function where current facts can change quickly and where official confirmation is more reliable than a single web entry.
Note: Confirm current custody, capacity, phone vendor, and visit rules with Valley County Sheriff before relying on web entries.
