Aroostook County links an online Inmate Information Portal directly from its official government website, hosted at aroostook-doc-me.zuercherportal.com. That puts it ahead of Maine county jails that publish nothing official at all. Online rosters still lag behind same-day bookings, releases, and transfers, though, and we could not confirm how often this one refreshes. Since Aroostook is Maine’s largest county by land area and the jail sits in Houlton at its southern end, a call to (207) 532-7317 before you drive down is worth the few minutes it takes. The Sheriff’s Office main line is (207) 532-3471. The state’s MDOC search tool is a separate system that stops at the prison gate, so it won’t list anyone held here.

Yes. Aroostook County's official website links an Inmate Information Portal at aroostook-doc-me.zuercherportal.com under its Links menu. It's a good starting point, and a call to (207) 532-7317 confirms anything you're about to act on.
Inmate SearchWe could not confirm how often it refreshes. A booking from a few hours ago might not be posted yet, and someone released this morning can still show as in custody. Other sites advertising an Aroostook County roster aren't official either, and their data is no more reliable. Whichever search you start from, a call to the jail is what confirms someone's current status.
Inmate SearchCall the jail directly at (207) 532-7317 with the person's full first and last name. Staff can typically confirm whether they're in custody and share basic booking details. The Sheriff's Office main line, (207) 532-3471, is a second option.
Inmate SearchNo. Maine keeps county custody and state custody in separate systems. The MDOC Adult Resident Search covers state prisons and community supervision cases, while people held in Houlton on Aroostook County charges are tracked by the Sheriff's Office instead.
Inmate SearchIntake may not be finished if the arrest was recent, they may have already been released or posted bail, they may have been moved to another facility, or they may have gone into state custody after sentencing. Ask staff which of these applies rather than assuming.
Inmate SearchThe county's own June 2025 Needs Assessment Report recorded 102 people in custody as of April 2, 2025, and describes the current building as out of date for a facility its size. The county is studying whether to build a replacement.
Inmate SearchThe jail sits in Houlton, at the southern end of the largest county in Maine by land area. Families driving down from Fort Kent, Madawaska, Caribou, or Presque Isle are looking at a long trip, so confirm custody by phone before you leave.
