Find Box Elder County Inmate Records

Box Elder County Jail Roster Status

The most important local fact is simple: the Box Elder County Corrections page states that the Box Elder County Jail Roster is not available online. There is no official public county inmate-search form, no booking-date filter, no recent-bookings list, and no web profile page for a current inmate. The Sheriff's Office instead directs public questions about current inmates, bail amounts, and charges to the Booking Department 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

That makes Box Elder County inmate records a decision-tree task. A recent arrest or local pretrial hold belongs with the jail Booking line. A formal court charge belongs in Utah court records after the case is filed. A sentenced Utah prisoner belongs in the UDC locator. A federal case can involve BOP or the U.S. Marshals. Immigration detention uses ICE ODLS and may involve EOIR routing, but the county jail should not be described as an ICE-owned facility.

Use the Box Elder County Inmate Lookup

Because the public lookup is phone based, the best search starts before the call. Gather the person's full legal name, date of birth, spelling variants, approximate arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or citation number. Then call Booking and ask direct questions. The official main route is 435-734-3800 through the automated prompts. The Sheriff's frequently dialed numbers page also lists Booking at 435-734-3839.

1. Call 435-734-3800 and follow prompts to Booking, or call 435-734-3839 if using the direct Booking number.
2. Ask whether the person is currently held in Box Elder County Jail / Box Elder County Correctional Facility.
3. Provide full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency such as the Sheriff's Office, Brigham City Police, or Tremonton-Garland Police.
4. Ask for current custody status, bail amount, and listed charges, which are the categories the county says Booking can answer.
5. If the person is not in custody, ask whether a release, bond, court transfer, UDC transfer, federal hold, ICE hold, or another agency hold is noted.
6. For older paperwork, booking photos, or incident reports, use Sheriff's Records/GRAMA at 435-734-3822 or the county JustFOIA portal.

Box Elder County Roster Search Fields

The field inventory for Box Elder County is useful because it prevents a false expectation. The county does not provide web fields for a jail roster. The official replacement is a current-custody phone inquiry through Booking.

Box Elder County Inmate Profile Fields

A caller may expect fields that appear on other Utah county rosters, but Box Elder County does not publish those fields online. The table below separates phone-access facts from fields that may require a GRAMA request or court search. Charges heard from Booking are jail charge information, not always the final court charge filed by the prosecutor.

Request Box Elder County Jail Records

Current custody is not the same as a records request. If the needed item is an older booking record, incident report, booking photo, or paper copy, use the Box Elder County JustFOIA public portal or call Sheriff's Records/GRAMA at 435-734-3822. Utah GRAMA requires a request that identifies the requester and reasonably describes the record. Records may be public, private, controlled, protected, or otherwise restricted.

The 2026 sheriff fee schedule says the first quarter-hour of staff time is free. Standard black-and-white copies are $0.50 per page, color copies are $1 per page, certified documents are $6 plus copy fees, electronic delivery is $5 per sent access, and CD/DVD/flash/SD media is $10 unless the requester supplies a new sealed flash drive. Prepayment may be required if estimated costs exceed $50 or the requester has unpaid prior requests.

Box Elder County Jail Facility

The county's confirmed detention facility is the Box Elder County Jail / Box Elder County Correctional Facility at 52 S 1000 W in Brigham City. It is operated by the Box Elder County Sheriff's Office and has 168 inmate beds, with 26 reserved for females. The jail uses dormitory and pod-style housing with individual cell-type housing. No separate city jail, state prison, BOP prison, ICE-owned center, or work-release annex was confirmed in the county research.

The Box Elder County jail facility page covers visitation, mail, money, and facility-specific rules in more detail.

Booking Process in Box Elder County

Box Elder County does not publish a detailed local intake timeline, so the public record should not imply exact posting times. The practical path begins with arrest or citation by the Sheriff's Office, a city police department, Utah Highway Patrol, or another agency. If the person is taken to jail rather than cited and released, the Brigham City jail becomes the booking facility. Booking is also the public's 24/7 point for current inmates, bail amounts, and charges.

Standard jail intake may include identity collection, a booking record, search, property inventory, photo and fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, classification, and placement into dormitory, pod, or individual cell-type housing. The county does not say how quickly a new booking would appear in a public system because no public roster exists.

Booking charge

The arrest or jail charge listed at intake. It may differ from formal court charges.

Information

The charging document prosecutors use in Box Elder First District Court felony and class A misdemeanor cases.

Hold or detainer

A request or legal authority from another agency that may prevent release even if local bail is paid.

Box Elder County Inmate Visitation

The Box Elder visitation page states that in-person visitation is currently suspended. Public visits occur through video kiosks in the Sheriff's Office lobby or remotely through Inmate Canteen. Inmates must be in the jail at least five days before they may have a visit. Visitors must create an Inmate Canteen account, take clear photos of themselves and their ID, and allow up to 72 hours for approval.

The county's visiting schedule page gives the lobby video schedule and contact numbers. The screenshot below reflects that official schedule source.

Visitors should confirm custody and visit approval before driving to the sheriff's campus because visits can close for security reasons.

Contact and Funds for Box Elder Inmates

Regular personal mail is highly specific in Box Elder County. Personal correspondence must be white cardstock or generic white postcards no larger than 6 by 9 inches. The mailing address is the inmate's full name, P.O. Box 888, Brigham City, UT 84302-0888. Photos must be in a plain white envelope marked PHOTOS, no larger than 4 by 6, no Polaroids, and no more than 10 photos. Books and magazines must come directly from the publisher and may not be hard-bound.

State, Federal, and VINELink Records

The UDC offender search is useful only after a person is under Utah Department of Corrections supervision. UDC states that county jail inmates awaiting trial or sentencing are not listed. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present, and ICE ODLS uses either A-number or name, country of birth, and birth date. Utah VINELink can provide custody-status notifications for participating jail and prison records.
