How to find an inmate
Foster County does not publish an online roster, so call the Foster County Sheriff's Office in Carrington with the person's full name and date of birth to learn whether they are in custody and which contracted facility is holding them. For people sentenced to state prison, use the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCR) offender locator.
Visitation
Visits follow the rules of the regional jail where the person is housed, not the sheriff's office in Carrington. Ask the sheriff's office which facility holds the inmate, then contact that facility for its visitor registration, ID, and scheduling rules.
Bail and bond
Bail is set by a judge or by a standard bond schedule after booking by the Foster County Sheriff's Office. Call the sheriff's office or the clerk of district court in Carrington to confirm the bond amount, accepted payment methods, and where to post it.
Mail and money
Mail and money must go to the facility that actually houses the inmate, using that facility's address format and deposit options. Confirm the facility with the Foster County Sheriff's Office before sending anything.
