Somerset County Jail Inmate Search. Confirm Someone Is in Custody

Yes, at somerset-so-me.zuercherportal.com/#/inmates, linked from the Sheriff's Office Corrections and Public Resources pages. Many neighboring Maine jails publish nothing comparable and leave you with a phone call, so this one is a genuine advantage. Staff at (207) 474-7409 can fill in what it doesn't show.

Capacity math. The jail is rated for 234 but budgeted to run at 192, and the county sells that headroom to other counties per diem. Somerset signed a five-year boarding contract with Waldo County expected to bring in roughly $1.5 million over its term. Androscoggin County, whose own 160-bed jail held 168 people as of June 2026, has spent more than $300,000 in a year boarding here, and Franklin County uses Somerset for its overflow too.

Yes. Lewiston Sun Journal reporting from September 2025 put 11 Franklin County inmates at Somerset, at $90 a day each, roughly $6,930 a week, while Franklin's 39-bed jail ran over capacity. By June 2026 Franklin had 2 people boarded out, and the rate across Franklin, Androscoggin, and Oxford counties had climbed to $95 or more per day. Somerset's own published materials don't itemize these arrangements, so if you're looking for someone arrested in Franklin County, check the locator or call (207) 474-7409 to confirm where they are now.

Not for county charges. Somerset County runs this jail, while the MDOC search belongs to the state system of prisons and community supervision. Once a longer state sentence moves someone into MDOC custody, that search becomes the one worth checking.

The booking may be too recent to appear, or they may have been released, sent to a state facility, or never boarded here at all. If the arrest happened in another county and no boarding arrangement moved them, that county's jail is where to look. A call to (207) 474-7409 sorts out which it is.

Not necessarily. Check the visitation guide for the visiting schedule and how to be added to the approved visitor list, and the send-money guide for what to ask about funding an account, since the specific vendor isn't named online.
