Androscoggin County Jail Inmate Search. Confirm Someone Is in Custody

Not one published by the county. We checked the Sheriff's Office site and could not confirm an official roster or lookup tool there. To get custody confirmed by the county itself, call Jail Admission and Release at (207) 753-2500, ext. 1702.

Give staff the person's full first and last name. From that, they can confirm whether the person is currently held at the jail, what the charges are, and what the bail amount is. Try (207) 753-2500, ext. 1702 first, and the main line at ext. 1992 if that doesn't connect.

No. This jail is run by the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office, and the state's Adult Resident Search only reaches people serving a Maine Department of Corrections sentence or under state probation or parole supervision. Someone awaiting trial in Auburn falls outside of it.

Several sites advertise an Androscoggin County roster or lookup. None of them are confirmed county resources, and there's no way to tell how current their booking data is. Use them for a rough starting point at most, then call (207) 753-2500, ext. 1992 before you act on anything you read there.

Yes. The jail is rated for 160 beds but has held as many as 236 people at once, so the county pays to house some detainees at other Maine jails, including facilities as far away as Piscataquis County. If a call doesn't turn up your family member, ask staff whether they were boarded elsewhere.

Bail is accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but only in person and only in cash, with the amount verified by jail staff. The jail doesn't take or hold the money. The cash goes directly to a bail commissioner, who charges a processing fee on top of the bail amount. Call ext. 1702 to confirm a specific person's bail before you drive over.

Intake may still be in progress if the arrest was recent, the person may have posted bail and been released at any hour of the day, they may be boarded at another Maine jail because Androscoggin was over capacity, or they may have been moved to court or into state custody after sentencing.

Not immediately. You still need an approved visitation form before scheduling a visit, and you'll use Access Corrections or the lobby kiosk to send money. See the visitation and send-money guides for the full process.
