Flathead County Jail Roster: Current Inmates & Booking Records
To find someone held at the Flathead County Detention Center in Kalispell, Montana, use the Sheriff’s Office’s official jail roster. It offers current inmates, recent bookings and recent releases, along with available booking details, charges, bail information and court dates.
How to Search the Flathead County Jail Roster
Visit Flathead County Jail Roster. Look for the Current Inmates listing and its last-updated timestamp.
Review the alphabetical listing. If your browser supports Find in Page, search the last name to move quickly through the page.
Compare the full name, age and available PIN. Do not rely on a name alone when more than one person could match.
Review any displayed booking date, charges, bail amount and court date. A blank field does not necessarily mean the information does not exist.
For time-sensitive matters, call 406-758-5617 and provide the person’s full name and available identifying information.
Flathead County Recent Jail Bookings
The official roster includes a Recent Bookings view for people newly processed into the detention system. This can be more useful than the current-inmate listing when you are checking a recent arrest or admission.
After opening the page, check the booking date and the roster’s update time. A person may appear in recent bookings even if they have since been released or transferred. Use the current-inmate roster to check whether they are still listed.
Flathead County Recent Releases
The Sheriff’s Office also provides a Recent Releases view. It can help when someone no longer appears on the current-inmate roster.
What the Flathead County Jail Roster Shows
| Roster field | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Name | The person’s name as recorded in the jail-management system. |
| Age | Age displayed with the roster entry; useful as an additional identifier. |
| PIN | Inmate identification number used for certain facility services, including addressing personal mail. |
| Booked | Date of admission when shown in the selected roster report. |
| Released | Date shown on the release report; may reflect a transfer. |
| Total Bail | Amount displayed in the roster at the time of extraction, if available; not necessarily the amount needed for immediate release. |
| Court Date | Displayed upcoming or scheduled court date; confirm with the court because schedules may change. |
| Charges | Recorded allegations, offenses and related case information. The Sheriff’s Office warns that listed charges may change. |
| Charge Status | Short labels such as continued, initial appearance, sentenced or dismissed may describe particular charge or case stages. Confirm the precise legal meaning with the court. |
The Sheriff’s Office’s public information page also describes inmate photographs as part of the roster information. Photo visibility can vary by entry or display format. A booking photograph is not evidence of guilt.
Flathead County Jail Mugshots & Booking Photos
For a booking photograph, begin with the official jail roster rather than an unofficial mugshot-collection website. Confirm that the photograph, name and other identifiers refer to the same person.
Do not assume that an old booking photo represents current custody. If the official listing does not show the image you need, contact the Sheriff’s Office about whether the record is available and the proper request procedure.
What If an Inmate Is Not Listed?
Flathead County Jail Bail, Bond & Release
The roster may display a Total Bail amount. However, the figure can change after court action, and multiple charges, warrants or holds may affect release. Do not assume that paying the displayed amount will automatically result in release.
How to check a court date or case outcome
Use the court name and date shown in the roster as a starting point. For authoritative hearing dates, orders, charges and case outcomes, contact the court handling the matter. A jail booking record is not a substitute for the court docket.
Flathead County Jail Visitation Hours & Rules
The Sheriff’s Office publishes weekend in-person visiting hours. These are visiting hours, not the detention center’s 24-hour operating schedule.
| Day | Published visiting hours | Sign-in begins |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 12:00 PM–9:00 PM; break 1:00–2:00 PM | 11:45 AM |
| Sunday | 9:00 AM–9:00 PM; break 1:00–2:00 PM | 8:45 AM |
The official rules state that visitors must be over 18, no more than two people may visit an inmate at one time, and each inmate may receive one visit per day.
Inmate Phone Calls, Video Visits & Messages
Flathead County uses NCIC Inmate Communications for inmate phone calls, video visits and electronic messaging. The Sheriff’s Office states that inmates can use telephones after the booking process is complete.
Three-way calls are prohibited. Check current rates and account requirements with NCIC before adding funds.
Flathead County Jail Commissary & Inmate Money
The detention center says commissary is offered twice weekly. Items may include hygiene products and selected food items.
The Sheriff’s Office states that cash is the only accepted form of money for inmates. Because the facility may have specific rules about how and when funds can be delivered, call 406-758-5617 before bringing cash. Do not send cash to the personal-mail scanning address.
Flathead County Jail Inmate Mail Address & Rules
Personal mail must not be sent directly to the jail. Flathead County requires personal letters to go to a third-party scanning address. The Sheriff’s Office says this rule took effect June 1, 2024.
Flathead County Detention Center
P.O. Box 591
Long View, TX 75606
Use the inmate’s PIN from the official roster. Personal mail is scanned and delivered electronically. The county warns that original letters and contents are destroyed after processing and are not returned.
Personal mail requirements
Legal mail
Legal mail from an attorney or court must be labeled LEGAL MAIL and sent directly to the detention center:
Flathead County Detention Center
920 S. Main St., Suite 100
Kalispell, MT 59901
The sender must identify the attorney, law firm or court, include a return address and provide a phone number for verification. Personal or third-party mail merely marked as legal mail does not qualify.
Attorney Access, Court Information & Property Release
For attorney communication, use the facility’s legal-mail requirements and confirm any attorney visit or call procedures directly with detention staff. The facility does not publish a universal release time or property-pickup schedule in the referenced detention guidance.
If you need an inmate’s property returned, contact the detention center first. Ask who may collect it, what authorization and identification are required, and whether the property is held by the jail or the arresting agency.
For case filings, hearings, warrants or the final disposition, contact the relevant court or your attorney. Detention staff can explain jail procedures but cannot replace legal advice.
Flathead County Detention Center Address, Phone & Map
The detention center houses adult men and women. The county states that the facility opened in 1987 and expanded to 154 beds in 2018. Facility capacity is not a live inmate count; check the roster for current information.
