The Box Elder County Inmate Population
The Box Elder County inmate population begins with one confirmed public-facing detention facility: the Box Elder County Jail / Box Elder County Correctional Facility. The jail is run by the Box Elder County Sheriff's Office and holds recent arrests, pretrial detainees, people serving county-jail sentences, and people waiting on transfer or another agency's decision. No official source located a separate city jail, state prison, federal prison, ICE-owned detention center, or work-release annex in Box Elder County.
This matters because the public search path changes with custody status. A same-day arrest in Brigham City, Tremonton, Garland, Willard, Perry, Mantua, an unincorporated area, or on a state highway usually starts with the Box Elder County Jail. A person sentenced to Utah prison is searched through the Utah Department of Corrections. A federal sentence belongs in the BOP locator. Immigration detention is checked through ICE ODLS, with a careful note that EOIR lists Box Elder County Jail in an administrative detained-location context but the county page remains a sheriff-operated county jail page.
Box Elder County Inmate Population Statistics
The most current official number published by Box Elder County is capacity, not a live population count. The county corrections page states that the jail has 168 inmate beds, including 26 beds reserved for females. It also describes the housing mix as dormitory and pod styles with individual cell-type housing. A current daily jail population, average daily population, annual booking total, race or age breakdown, and occupancy percentage were not found in public county pages during the July 1, 2026 research inspection.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Jail rated/bed capacity | 168 inmate beds | Box Elder County Corrections page, inspected 2026 |
| Female reserved beds | 26 beds | Box Elder County Corrections page, inspected 2026 |
| Current online roster population | Not published online | County says the roster is not available online |
| 2013 jail count | 129 prisoners | Prison Policy Initiative / BJS Census of Jail Facilities vintage data |
| 2022 phone-justice appendix field | 82 | Prison Policy Initiative State of Phone Justice appendix |
| County population estimate | 65,320 | U.S. Census QuickFacts, July 1, 2025 estimate |
Box Elder County Inmate Population Trends
The trend record is uneven because Box Elder County does not publish a daily roster or public jail dashboard. Historical and outside datasets show the jail at several points in time, but none should be treated as today's jail count. The 2013 figure comes from a BJS-derived jail census table. The 2022 number comes from a phone-rate appendix. The 2023 UDC figure is a program or location snapshot, not the full Box Elder County jail average daily population.
| Year / Date | Figure | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| 12/31/2013 | 129 | BJS-derived jail count in PPI/PPC Census 2020 vintage table |
| 2022 appendix | 82 | PPI phone-justice population/ADP field, not a county dashboard |
| 6/13/2023 | 12 | UDC program/location snapshot for Box Elder County Jail, not full ADP |
| 2026 inspection | 168 beds | County-published capacity, not current occupancy |
Those limits should be kept clear. Combining a 2013 jail count with a 2025 county population estimate would create a misleading current incarceration rate. The reliable current statement is narrower: the county publishes a 168-bed jail and does not publish a live online population count.
Box Elder County Jail Capacity Law
Utah law gives context for the Box Elder County inmate population even when a public county dashboard is not available. GRAMA, Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, gives access to public records subject to classifications and request rules. The county sheriff chapter also covers jail capacity and annual county jail reporting. Those statutes support requests, but they do not make every booking field or booking photo open on demand.
Key Statutes:
Utah Code 63G-2-201 gives the public a right to inspect and copy public records unless another classification applies.
Utah Code 63G-2-204 requires a written request that identifies the requester and reasonably describes the record.
Utah Code 17-72-402 addresses jail classification and maximum operating capacity.
Utah Code 17-72-408 requires county jail annual reporting categories and a public death report on request.
Search Box Elder County Inmates
A Box Elder County inmate lookup is phone-first. The official corrections page states that the Box Elder County Jail Roster is not available online. That means there is no county web form for last name, booking number, booking date, or facility filter. There is also no public clickable inmate profile showing a mugshot, booking number, housing unit, or release status. For current inmates, bail amounts, and charges, the county directs the public to the Booking Department 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Start with Booking when the arrest is recent, local, or unsentenced.
- Call 435-734-3800 and follow the prompts to Booking, or use the direct Booking number 435-734-3839.
- Have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and possible case or citation number ready.
- Ask whether the person is currently in Box Elder County Jail, then ask for the bail amount and charges if staff can provide them.
- If Booking says the person is not there, ask whether the record points to release, transfer, Utah DOC, federal custody, or another agency hold.
Box Elder County Roster Fields
For many counties, the roster field table explains how to search a web portal. For Box Elder County, the table is a negative inventory. It shows what the official source does and does not provide online, so a searcher does not waste time looking for a page that the county says is unavailable.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online roster | n/a | n/a | The county states the jail roster is not available online |
| Current inmate inquiry | Phone | n/a | Call 435-734-3800 prompts or Booking at 435-734-3839 |
| Information available | Phone response | Unspecified | County says Booking can answer current inmates, bail amounts, and charges |
| Booking availability | Phone | n/a | 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
| Search inputs to have ready | Caller-provided facts | Recommended | Full name, DOB, arrest date, agency, and case or citation number if known |
For non-current booking records, incident reports, mugshot requests, or older paperwork, the route shifts to Sheriff's Records/GRAMA at 435-734-3822 or the Box Elder County JustFOIA public portal.
Box Elder County Inmate Records
Because no public online jail profile exists, a Box Elder County inmate record cannot be inspected in the same way a web roster can. The useful distinction is between what Booking may provide for a current inmate and what requires a records request. Charges and bail may be available by phone for current custody. Booking date, booking number, mugshot, housing, arresting agency, and release details are not posted in an official county roster.
| Field | Public Online Status |
|---|---|
| Name | Not displayed online; caller provides it to Booking |
| Booking number | Not published online |
| Mugshot / booking photo | Not displayed online in official county sources |
| Charges | Available by phone for current inmates, according to the county page |
| Bail amount | Available by phone for current inmates, according to the county page |
| Court date | Not posted by the jail; check Utah Xchange after court filing |
State and Federal Inmate Search
The county jail is not the only possible custody system. The Utah Department of Corrections offender search covers people under UDC supervision. UDC warns that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced in county jail are not listed there. That warning is central in Box Elder County because the county has no public online roster. A recent arrestee can be in the county jail and absent from UDC search.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Recent arrest or pretrial jail custody | Box Elder Booking by phone | Current inmates, bail amounts, and charges |
| Sentenced Utah prisoner or parole/probation | Utah Department of Corrections | People under UDC supervision |
| Federal sentenced inmate | BOP inmate locator | Federal custody records from 1982 to present |
| Federal pretrial custody | U.S. Marshals / federal court | People may not appear in BOP yet |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | A-number or name, country, and birth-date search |
| Custody alerts | Utah VINELink | Notification for participating jail and prison events |
Box Elder County Detention Facility
The Facility Map resolves to one page-creating facility. The jail is a sheriff-operated county facility, not a private prison and not an ICE-owned detention center. It is the local point for booking, bail confirmation, jail mail, video visitation, and Inmate Canteen services. Once a person is sentenced to state prison, the public search path changes to UDC.
- Box Elder County Jail / Box Elder County Correctional Facility - the county jail for Box Elder arrests, pretrial detainees, county sentences, transfer waits, and possible outside-agency holds.
The official corrections page is useful because it states both the capacity and the no-online-roster rule. The screenshot below comes from that county source.
That county page is the reason the search instructions here lead with phone Booking rather than a roster form.
