About Kimball County Jail

The Kimball County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for the operation of the County Jail and for providing safe and secure housing to all persons remanded to the custody of the Kimball County Sheriff.

The Kimball County Sheriff’s Department services the secure detention needs of the criminal justice community, together with the public safety needs of the citizens of Kimball County.  All incarceration is managed by policies that hold inmates accountable for their behavior. 
 

The jail is governed by the rules set forth by the Nebraska Jail Standards Agency which inspects the jail annually.  This inspection includes review of the Kimball County Jail Policy, Inmate Complaints, a Physical Inspection, Review of the Menu to meet the dietary requirements, Review of Inmate Health and Medical Records and a Review of the Fire Marshall’s Annual Inspection. Over the years this inspection has held that Kimball County maintains the highest level of professionalism and inmate care in a most cost-effective manner possible.
