Latah County Jail Roster Overview
The official roster for Latah County inmate records is the public jail roster at jail.latahcountyid.gov. It is linked from the Latah County Sheriff's Office, which names Sheriff Richard Skiles and links to detention, jail roster, records, VINE, and related sheriff resources. The roster is the county-level channel for people booked into local jail custody, including pretrial detainees, adults serving local jail time, and people held for other agencies while the sheriff has local custody responsibility.
The research sweep found a roster interface with Search, Sort by, Name, Rows per page, and pagination controls, but the browser view returned "No data available." That result is a warning against making a quick assumption. Latah County has recent closure and transfer reporting, and the jail is a small courthouse-basement facility, so a reader should use the roster as the first channel and the jail phone line as the custody-confirmation channel. Sentenced Idaho prisoners should be checked through IDOC, and federal or immigration detainees need BOP or ICE tools.
Use the Latah County Roster
The best search starts with a name, but any booking number, booking date, or court case number helps. The roster's visible controls do not show a required login or fee. Automated command-line access hit a Cloudflare challenge during research, so browser access and phone verification are both important.
- Open the official Latah County Jail Roster.
- Use the Search control to filter by the person's name if rows are present.
- Use Sort by and the Name label when more than one person appears.
- Save the booking number, booking date, offenses, court case number, bond, counts, and photo field if shown.
- If the roster says no data or the person may have been moved, call 208-882-2216 for custody confirmation.
Latah County Roster Search Fields
The visible Latah County roster controls are simple. They support a current-custody check when roster rows are available, but the page does not publish a refresh schedule, release-retention period, or detailed search rules. Use the table below as a field map rather than as a promise that every field appears for every inmate.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text/filter | Unspecified | Visible search control; no minimum character rule was located. |
| Sort by | Dropdown/sort | Optional | Visible sort label with Name visible as a table or sort label. |
| Name | Table column/sort value | Not applicable | Roster name display and likely the main row label. |
| Rows per page | Dropdown/control | Optional | Visible default value was 10. |
| Pagination | Pagination | Not applicable | No-data view showed a dash; snippet showed one visible result. |
Latah County Booking Record Fields
A public search snippet from the official roster showed a sample result with useful booking labels. Those labels connect the jail side to the court side. Booking Date and Booking Number belong to the jail intake record. Court Case Number helps locate the case in Idaho iCourt. Bond and offense lines help identify the holding reason, but a booking offense can later be amended, reduced, dismissed, or replaced by formal charges filed in court.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Person listed in roster format, likely last name first. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of jail intake. |
| Booking Number | Local booking identifier, with the snippet showing a year-sequence style. |
| Offenses | Section grouping the offense or hold reasons. |
| Court Case Number | Idaho case number that can be checked through iCourt. |
| Bond | Bond amount tied to the offense or court case when shown. |
| Photo | A roster label indicating a booking-photo field or display area may exist. |
Fields such as height, weight, housing unit, arresting agency, projected release date, and ICE detainer flags were not confirmed in the current public view. Do not assume they exist for Latah County just because another county publishes them.
When Latah Roster Shows No Data
The no-data result is not the end of a Latah County inmate records search. Call the Latah County Jail or Sheriff's Office at 208-882-2216 to verify current custody, release, transfer, or housing location. The Sheriff's Records Office can answer written-request questions at 208-883-2266 or 208-882-2216. In-person questions route to the Sheriff's Office/Courthouse Law Enforcement Annex at 522 S. Adams Street, Suite 100, Moscow, Idaho 83843, while jail visitors use the Sixth Street jail entrance just west of Van Buren.
The Sheriff's Records Office page explains that police and accident report requests must be made in writing. Current and ongoing investigations may not be available until completed and closed. Records tied to criminal charges may go through discovery, the Prosecutor's Office, or the court. Complex or incomplete requests can take up to 10 working days, which makes a precise written request more useful than a vague demand for "all records."
Latah County Booking Process
The Latah County Jail admits new bookings and releases inmates 24 hours a day. County bond information says booking takes 30 minutes to one hour, and bond paperwork and release take another 30 minutes when no problem delays the process. Idaho Code 20-601 requires county jail booking to include photograph and fingerprints. Jail staff also deliver and receive people from court, transport inmates to different agencies, and handle work, school, and treatment-release checks through the day.
A typical path starts with arrest or court commitment by the Sheriff's Office, Moscow Police Department, Idaho State Police, or another agency. Staff create the custody record, complete booking paperwork, take the booking photo and fingerprints, and address property and security. Jail sources do not publish a detailed classification field list, but they do state that adult men and women are held and that medical staff come into the facility twice a week for sick call.
Latah County Bond Records
Bond is both a jail and court topic. To bond someone out during business hours, bring bail to the Court Clerk's Office, then bring the clerk's receipt to the Sheriff's Office. After hours, bond can be posted at the Sheriff's front window. The county lists a separate $10 after-hours or weekend processing fee, apart from the bond itself. If a person does not have cash for bond, the county says to contact a bondsman of choice.
| Release Type | Meaning | Latah Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Cash bond | Full bail amount paid directly. | Clerk during hours; Sheriff's front window after hours. |
| Surety bond | Bondsman posts surety under a contract. | County says to contact a bondsman if cash is not available. |
| PR release | Release on promise to appear. | Not described on the Latah bond page; set by court when applicable. |
| Hold or detainer | Another agency has custody interest. | Local bond may not release someone if another valid hold remains. |
Latah County Jail Visits
Latah County jail visits are appointment-only, 20 minutes long, and non-contact. Adults need picture ID. Visitors must be 18 or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and juveniles must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Visitors cannot have been incarcerated within the last 30 days. A visitor on probation needs prior approval through a probation officer. The official source did not publish a dress code, locker rule, remote-video schedule, or full visitor application process.
| Day | Hours | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | 6:30 PM-9:00 PM | Appointment only; picture ID required. |
| Saturday | 8:00 AM-10:30 AM; 12:30 PM-4:30 PM | 20-minute non-contact visit. |
| Sunday | 1:00 PM-4:00 PM | Juveniles must be with parent or guardian. |
The official visiting screenshot comes from Latah County's jail visiting information page.
Confirm custody and appointment availability before travel, especially because recent facility reporting described closure and contract-housing issues.
Latah County Inmate Contact
Inmate mail uses this format: inmate's name, Latah County Detention Center, 522 S. Adams St., Suite 99, Moscow, Idaho 83843. The jail bans contraband, illegal postal items, paper clips, rubber bands, binder clips, stickers, food, medication, sexually explicit materials, and materials that threaten witnesses, law enforcement, victims, or others. Soft-bound books must come directly from bookstore vendors and must not be altered.
Inmates make outgoing collect calls only through Telmate/GettingOut. Family and friends can use GettingOut, call 1-866-516-0115, use the lobby kiosk, or mail a money order made out to the inmate for deposits. Personal checks are not allowed. The sheriff will not accept property, mail, or medication brought in without prior authorization by the Jail Commander.
| Service | Provider / Rule |
|---|---|
| Phone calls | Outgoing collect calls through Telmate/GettingOut. |
| Deposits | Lobby kiosk, GettingOut website, 1-866-516-0115, or mailed money order. |
| Use the Detention Center mailing address with the inmate's name. | |
| Books | Soft-bound books only from bookstore vendors and unaltered. |
State Federal and ICE Lookup
County jail records do not cover every custody status. The IDOC Resident/Client Search covers people on court probation or under IDOC jurisdiction, including incarcerated residents, probationers, parolees, riders, and discharged statuses. BOP's inmate locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System covers people currently in ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours, with A-number and exact biographical search paths.
VINELink is the notification channel rather than a jail roster replacement. IDOC victim services material says VINE can support phone, text, and email registration. No official Latah Sheriff jail or warrant app was confirmed. Idaho Sheriff Connect was found as a statewide app listing, but Latah-specific participation and app-only roster features were not confirmed.
Note: Use the county roster for local bookings and IDOC only after state custody or supervision begins.
