Piscataquis County Jail Inmate Search. Confirm Someone Is in Custody

No. The Sheriff's Office publishes neither a roster nor a search tool, so the county's own answer comes from calling (207) 564-3304. Bring the full legal name, since a partial or misspelled one can produce a not-found answer for a person who's sitting right there.

The county holds a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Sheriff's Office says that on most days roughly half the population is federal pretrial detainees awaiting trial under that contract rather than people facing Piscataquis County charges.

Often not, and this catches families off guard. The locator at bop.gov/inmateloc/ is built mainly around sentenced federal inmates, so someone awaiting trial while boarded at a county jail can be missing from it entirely. A call to (207) 564-3304 is what resolves it.

They're physically in Dover-Foxcroft, but their case, records, and scheduling can still run through the county they came from. Ask staff which applies when you call, since it decides who you deal with for visits and court dates.

Not for county charges. The MDOC search is built around state prisons and people on probation or parole, and a county jail falls outside it. A longer state sentence can move someone into MDOC custody, and that's the point where the statewide search becomes worth checking.

Yes, as far as we could confirm at this guide's last verification. A July 2025 state inspection found the jail out of compliance with several health and safety standards, and MDOC ordered a temporary halt to new intakes plus the return of boarded inmates to their original facilities. The county's corrective action plan was approved and intakes resumed in August 2025. If it's been a while since you were last in touch, ask whether boarding is fully back to normal.

They may have been released, sent to a state facility, moved to a different county jail, or never boarded here to begin with. Call (207) 564-3304 to ask, and if the arrest happened in another county, try that county's jail as a second call.

52 Court Street, Dover-Foxcroft, ME 04426. The main line is (207) 564-3304.

Not necessarily. Check the visitation guide for the visiting schedule and scheduling process, and the send-money guide for what to ask about funding an account, since neither the money nor phone vendor is published online for this facility.
