Madison County Jail Overview
Madison County Jail is operated by the Madison County Sheriff's Department and is attached to the courthouse in Madison, Nebraska. For Cuming County users, the facility matters because Cuming County's comprehensive plan says prisoners are transported to Thurston or Madison counties for boarding. Madison is the boarding option with the most complete official public jail information found in the research: a current roster, 120-bed capacity statement, direct jail phone, mail format, bond instructions, CIDNET link, JailATM link, and detailed visitation rules.
The jail holds pretrial and sentenced county inmates and may hold people boarded for nearby counties when accepted. The roster does not provide a Cuming-origin filter in the captured fields, so a person arrested in Cuming County may need phone confirmation even if the public list is available. If the person does not appear on Madison's current roster, call Madison County Jail and then check Thurston County or the Cuming County Sheriff's Office.
Madison County Jail Population
Madison County publishes the strongest sourced population data for a Cuming County boarding search. The official corrections page states the jail has 120 beds. The inspected official roster showed a run date and time of 06/20/2026 at 06:00, with 64 total people listed: 53 male, 11 female, and 0 other. That was a snapshot of the Madison roster, not a Cuming-specific population count.
| Measure | Figure | Source Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 120 beds | Madison County Sheriff's Department corrections page |
| Total roster count | 64 | Official roster run date/time 06/20/2026 - 06:00 |
| Male count | 53 | Roster sex grouping |
| Female count | 11 | Roster sex grouping |
| Other count | 0 | Roster sex grouping |
Madison County Jail Roster Search
The official Madison County Jail roster is a public HTML list, not a search form. The list is grouped by males and females and has a visible run date and time. To find a Cuming County boarded inmate, scan the current list for the person's name, then compare charges, disposition, book date, court date, and arresting agency. Because the roster is a current list, a release, transfer, or court change may remove or change the entry.
- Confirm through Cuming County Sheriff's Office that Madison County is a possible boarding jail.
- Open the Madison County roster and scan the current male and female sections by last name.
- Read the JailId, name, charges, current disposition, total bail, book date, next court date, and arresting agency fields.
- Call Madison County Jail at (402) 454-1333 if the entry is unclear, missing, or may have changed after the roster run time.
- Use Cuming County Court or Nebraska JUSTICE for formal filed charges if the arrest began in Cuming County.
The roster source is especially useful because Cuming County does not publish a local jail roster. Still, it is not a court judgment. It can show pretrial felony or misdemeanor status, jail sentence status, penitentiary sentence status, charges dismissed, charges not filed, time served, bond reinstated, and other current disposition labels.
The official roster table shows the fields used for current Madison County Jail records.
The screenshot reinforces that Madison uses a roster list with field columns instead of a search-box portal.

Those rules control only if the person is held at Madison County Jail. If Cuming County or Thurston County has custody, confirm the correct facility first.
Madison Jail Mail Money Bond
Madison County publishes a clear inmate mail format and official service links. Mail should use the inmate's name, Madison County Jail, PO Box 209, Madison, NE 68748. The Madison corrections page links CIDNET for communication or video services, JailATM for deposits, and NEVCAP for notification. Exact JailATM or CIDNET fees were not located in the research, so confirm fees in the vendor portal before payment.
| Service | Provider or Address | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate Name, Madison County Jail, PO Box 209, Madison, NE 68748 | Use the full inmate name and confirm current custody first. | |
| Phone/video | CIDNET | Linked by Madison County for inmate communication/video services. |
| Money deposit | JailATM | Official corrections page links JailATM; exact fees not found in research. |
| Bond | Madison County Sheriff's Office | All bonds posted at sheriff's office; lobby ATM available; correct change preferred. |
The Madison corrections information page identifies the 120-bed jail, mail address, JailATM link, bond posting process, and related services.
For a Cuming County arrestee, use these Madison rules only after confirming Madison is the actual holding jail.
Madison Jail Court Transfers
A Madison County Jail entry may show a Cuming County defendant's custody status while the filed case remains in Cuming County Court or district court. Jail staff can confirm custody and bond, but formal charges, registers of action, and court dates should be verified through Nebraska JUSTICE or Cuming County Court when the arrest began in Cuming County. Jail charges can lag behind prosecutor action.
If the roster status says Sentenced To Penitentiary or another prison-related term, the next lookup may be the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. NDCS is the state prison system for sentenced Nebraska prisoners. The county jail roster is not the correct long-term locator after transfer to state prison. NEVCAP may also help with custody notification when release alerts matter.
Note: Madison County Jail can confirm current custody, but Cuming County filed charges must be checked through the court record.
