How to find an inmate
Wells County has no county jail, so people arrested in the county are held at a contracted regional facility. Call the Wells County Sheriff's Office in Fessenden at (701) 547-3641 with the person's full name and date of birth to learn where they are held. For people sentenced to state prison, use the North Dakota DOCR inmate locator.
Visitation
Visitation rules are set by the facility actually holding the inmate, not by Wells County. Once the sheriff's office confirms the facility, call that facility for its visitation procedures and ID requirements. Confirm all details before traveling.
Bail and bond
Bail is set by the court for Wells County charges. Call the Wells County Sheriff's Office or the holding facility to confirm the bond amount, the accepted payment methods, and where bond can be posted. A licensed bail bond agent may also be an option.
Mail and money
Mail and money go to the facility holding the inmate, under that facility's rules. Confirm the holding facility with the Wells County Sheriff's Office first. Then ask that facility for the correct mailing format and approved deposit methods.
