Pend Oreille County Jail Roster
The Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail through Pend Oreille County Corrections. County navigation labels the roster path as "Jail Inmate Roster" or "Inmate Search," but the public tool is not a live search portal with form fields. The official destination is the county-linked Daily Press Box folder, where dated PDF files are posted for current custody and new bookings.
That detail changes how a Pend Oreille County inmate lookup works. The current inmate list PDF shows people housed locally at the time the report was generated. The jail booking PDF shows new booking events for a report window. A person not listed may have posted bail, been released on conditions, moved to court, been transferred to the Washington State Department of Corrections, or been held by a federal or immigration agency. The county roster is the first stop for local jail custody, but it is not the last possible source.
The Daily Press folder is the documented roster channel for Pend Oreille County inmate records. The folder and direct PDF downloads were available without login during research, though the Box browser view relies on JavaScript. The county does not publish an exact refresh time, so the safest wording is daily PDF reports rather than real-time inmate search.
The county roster source is the official Daily Press folder.
The folder format means the file name and date matter as much as a search box would on a larger county jail site.
Use the Pend Oreille County Roster
Start with the newest "Inmate List" PDF when the question is whether someone is now housed at Pend Oreille County Corrections. Start with the newest "Jail Booking" PDF when the question is about new arrests or the charges listed at intake. The July 2, 2026 current list was titled "Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Office Current Inmate List, by Name," while the booking report for that date covered a 3:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. reporting period.
- Open the Pend Oreille County Corrections page or sheriff page, then follow the "Inmate Search" or "Jail Inmate Roster" link to the Box Daily Press folder.
- Choose the newest "Inmate List" PDF for current housed inmates. Use the PDF viewer's find command for a last name, first name, or booking number.
- Open the newest "Jail Booking" PDF for new booking details. Check the report date range before assuming a booking is missing.
- Compare the inmate list and booking summary. The current list gives housing and custody status clues, while the booking report gives charge and statute details.
- If neither PDF answers the question, call the jail, use the sheriff records request path, or check DOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE based on the custody type.
Daily PDF reporting can create timing gaps. A late booking can appear in the next report window. A release or transfer can remove a name from the current list before a reader finds the older booking summary. For urgent custody or bail questions, the jail phone line is still the practical fallback.
Pend Oreille County Roster Fields
The Pend Oreille County jail roster does not accept typed web-form searches. The usable search fields are the PDF file names, the report columns, and the text search built into a browser or PDF reader. The current list is sorted by name, so a last-name search is usually the fastest path. Booking numbers also work when a court, bail company, or prior report has supplied that number.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Box folder file list | Folder/file list | n/a | Select dated PDFs such as "Inmate List" or "Jail Booking" for the needed date. |
| PDF viewer find | Browser or PDF text search | Optional | Search visible text such as name, booking number, location, statute, or city. |
| Name | PDF report column | n/a | The current list is by name and uses last, first, middle formatting. |
| Booking # | PDF report column | n/a | Five-digit booking numbers were observed in the inspected files. |
| Location | PDF report column | n/a | Examples include housing cell, booking holding cell, and court hall cell codes. |
| Time Incarcerated | PDF report column | n/a | Shown as time and date in HH:MM:SS MM/DD/YY format. |
| Scheduled Release | PDF report column | n/a | Often masked, though one inspected row showed a future scheduled release time and date. |
Pend Oreille County Inmate Record Fields
A Pend Oreille County inmate record is split between two PDF types. The current inmate list gives the basic jail roster facts. The booking summary gives intake details and the charge table. Neither inspected PDF displayed a mugshot, bond amount, court date, full date of birth, or full demographic profile. Court records and sheriff records requests fill some of those gaps when the information is public.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Report header | Identifies the current inmate list or booking summary and the report scope. |
| Name | Last, first, and middle name as printed in the jail report. |
| Booking number | The jail booking event identifier, observed as a five-digit number. |
| Location | Local custody code, such as POCJ housing, holding, or court hall cell notation. |
| Time incarcerated | The time and date tied to the person's local custody entry. |
| Scheduled release | A planned release field that may be masked on the public list. |
| Booking date and time | The event timestamp in the booking summary report. |
| Charge table | Class, statute, description, and related incident number for booking-level charges. |
| Mugshot and bond | Not shown in the inspected public PDFs; use court, jail, or records channels as appropriate. |
Booking charges are not always the final court charges. A booking report captures what was entered at intake. The prosecutor and court record can later show amended, reduced, added, or dismissed charges after review.
Pend Oreille County Custody Fallbacks
The county's access path is best read as a chain. Use the Daily Press PDFs first for current Pend Oreille County jail custody and new bookings. Use the jail phone line for urgent custody, release, bail, or visiting questions that the PDFs do not answer. Use the sheriff's public-records process when a report, older booking file, or booking-adjacent document is needed and not posted online.
The sheriff records page points requesters to the Pend Oreille County Public Record Request Portal. The same county page also allows records requests by mail, phone, or in person through the Sheriff's Office. Vehicle accident reports cost $5.00, while other reports are listed at $0.15 per page, and some records cannot be released because of privacy laws or active investigations.
Note: A missing name can mean release, transfer, delayed PDF posting, another agency hold, or a move to DOC, BOP, or ICE custody.
County Roster vs DOC and ICE
Pend Oreille County inmate records cover the local jail population. That includes people awaiting trial, people serving local sentences, and some people held under contract for other agencies. A person sentenced to state prison belongs in the Washington State Department of Corrections incarcerated search after transfer. A federal inmate belongs in the BOP inmate locator. An immigration detainee is searched through ICE ODLS, with USA.gov noting searches can use an A-number or biographical details.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Daily Press current inmate list and booking PDFs | Local custody at Pend Oreille County Corrections, including awaiting-trial and local sentence status. |
| Washington DOC | DOC incarcerated search and DOC warrant search | Sentenced state prisoners, DOC custody, supervision warrants, and VINE-linked profiles. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates in BOP records, including people outside Pend Oreille County facilities. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE detainees searched by A-number or biographical data; not a county jail roster. |
| Notification | Washington VINE | Custody and criminal-case notifications when supported by the state system. |
The Pend Oreille County Corrections page says the jail has contracts involving Washington DOC, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Border Patrol, immigration, and U.S. Customs Enforcement. That does not turn the county PDFs into a full federal or ICE database. It means a local hold can intersect with outside agencies, so the correct lookup depends on who has custody now.

Pend Oreille County Booking Records
The booking process begins when an arresting agency or transfer source brings a person to Pend Oreille County Corrections. The booking summary records the booking date and time, booking type, booking number, name number, age, city, staff member, and charge rows. The county property page adds a practical intake detail: only limited property is accepted for inmate storage, and property not accepted by the jail may be impounded by the arresting agency.
After booking, medical screening and medication review can affect intake. The county medical page says prescription medications must be in original containers with current labels and cannot be expired. The current inmate list then shows the housing or holding location once the person is placed in custody, using codes such as housing cell, booking holding cell, or court hall cell.
First appearances are scheduled each working business day and most Sundays, with times varying by District Court docket. District Court handles misdemeanor Wednesdays and felony first appearances, while Superior Court felony docket is Thursday. For filed charges after booking, use Washington Courts and the local court record channels rather than relying only on the booking report.
Pend Oreille County Visitation Rules
The county publishes a narrow in-person visiting schedule for Pend Oreille County Corrections. Visitors sign up in the Sheriff's Office lobby before visiting time, and all visitors in a party check in together. A valid government-issued picture ID is required, with full name, date of birth, picture, and current expiration date. Copies and expired IDs are not accepted.
The county visitation rules are posted on the official visiting times and rules page.
The limited schedule makes advance custody confirmation important before a family member travels to Newport.
| Day | Visiting Time | Sign-up and Money Window |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. | Sign up 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; money accepted 5:30-6:00 p.m. and 8:00-8:30 p.m. |
| Tuesday | 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. | Sign up 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; money accepted 5:30-6:00 p.m. and 8:00-8:30 p.m. |
Visitors may be denied for contraband history, intoxication, no-contact orders, outstanding warrants, refusal to cooperate, active probation for violent crime or drug offenses, or other security risks. Weapons, purses, backpacks, cell phones, cameras, lighters, heavy clothing, and items that could conceal contraband are not allowed in the visiting area.
Pend Oreille County Inmate Contact
Mail to a Pend Oreille County inmate uses the corrections mailing format published by the county. Legal mail may be opened in front of the inmate to check for contraband. Regular incoming mail is opened and inspected for money and contraband and may be scanned. Incoming mail is distributed within 24 hours of receipt, but the jail does not deliver mail on weekends or holidays.
| Service | Pend Oreille County Rule |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Pend Oreille County Corrections, Attn. Inmate Name, P.O. Box 5079, Newport, WA 99156. |
| Phone calls | Consolidated Telecom Inc. provides collect and account calling with assigned inmate PIN numbers. |
| Phone account | Family and friends may contact CTEL or call 1(702)829-3001 and identify the inmate in Pend Oreille County, Washington. |
| Text device | CTEL provides Chirping text devices; after a free start, funds are added through inmatesales.com. |
| Commissary money | Friends and family do not have online commissary account access; use visiting windows or money order. |
Money orders should be made payable to Pend Oreille Corrections, not to the inmate, with the envelope showing which inmate should receive the funds. The county says commissary items are held for a limited period if an inmate is released before delivery, then destroyed or distributed to indigent inmates according to the published rule.
Pend Oreille County Records Limits
Washington law treats jail records differently from a simple public web profile. RCW 70.48.100 identifies public jail-register fields such as name, confinement time, cause, and discharge information, while most other inmate records are confidential unless a listed release path applies. The statute is also the reason booking photos should not be promised as public roster content.
The Public Records Act still matters. RCW 42.56.030 says Washington's public records law is construed to promote open government, and RCW 42.56.520 generally requires an agency response within five business days. That response may produce records, acknowledge the request, ask for clarification, give a time estimate, or deny records with an explanation.
No current app-only jail roster was documented. The Sheriff's Office announced a mobile app in 2018 for alerts, news, tips, one-touch dispatch calls, suspicious activity reports, image submissions, and school safety reporting, but the research did not locate a current direct App Store or Google Play roster link.
