Duchesne County Inmate Population Search

Duchesne County Inmate Population

The Duchesne County inmate population is centered on one confirmed local detention facility: Duchesne County Jail, operated by the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office. Official county sources place the jail on the sheriff and justice-center campus in Duchesne and describe it as a facility that houses both county and state inmates. That mixed role matters. A person booked after a local arrest may still be in county custody, while a sentenced Utah Department of Corrections inmate may be housed in the same local jail through the state's Inmate Placement Program.

Current population figures are more limited than the facility description. The county publishes bed-count and staffing facts, but no official current online average daily population, annual booking count, demographic dashboard, or public daily jail count was located in the research. The safest local figures are the published capacity numbers and the official description of who may be held. Capacity is not the same as the current Duchesne County inmate population. It is the facility size against which current counts, transfers, state contracts, and local booking pressure would be measured.

Duchesne County Inmate Population Statistics

The published Duchesne County inmate population data is strongest on facility capacity and staffing. The Duchesne County Jail information page states that the jail is a 166-bed facility and houses county and state inmates. The sheriff's About Us page lists the jail as a 165-bed facility and says 26 corrections officers operate it. That one-bed difference should be treated as a sourced variance, not as a calculation error.

The same sheriff source gives context for the agency behind the jail: 61 employees total, 51 sworn officers, 20 civilian employees, and 21 patrol officers covering 3,256 square miles. Those numbers do not state how many people are in custody today, but they show the scale of the office responsible for the Duchesne County inmate population, booking operations, court security, records, and jail services.

The county jail information page is the source image for the local bed-count and jail-contact facts shown below.

That source supports the facility-capacity discussion, but it does not publish a current live count or a searchable county inmate roster.

Duchesne County Inmate Trends

Trend data for the Duchesne County inmate population is narrow. The research located one historical correctional-population listing through Prisoners of the Census and Prison Policy Initiative data, which listed 176 local people at Duchesne Co. Jail on December 31, 2013. That figure is useful as historical context only. It should not be read as the current count, and it should not be compared to today's published capacity as proof of crowding or available beds.

State and national data help explain why the local jail can house more than local pretrial detainees. The Utah Department of Corrections Inmate Placement Program says county jail contracts are used because the state prison system lacks enough beds for all state inmates. UDC also reports a FY2023 daily incarceration rate of $61.03 per inmate for IPP and $37 million for jail contracting, treatment, and programming. Those are statewide program figures, not Duchesne County average daily population figures.

Note: Without a current official Duchesne County jail count, capacity and historical context should stay separate from current custody status.

Duchesne County Custody Makeup

The Duchesne County inmate population has two broad local categories: county inmates and state inmates. County inmates include people booked after arrest, people waiting for court action, and people serving local jail sentences. State inmates are different. UDC materials identify Duchesne County Jail as an IPP site, meaning some people in the local jail are under Utah Department of Corrections custody or supervision even though they are physically housed in Duchesne County.

Published county sources do not break the jail population into sex, age, race, charge level, pretrial status, sentence status, average stay, or daily booking counts. UDC's state-inmate screening factors do not fill that gap for local detainees. For IPP placements, UDC says screening may consider security level, medical and mental-health status, programming needs, crime of conviction, institutional history, gang affiliation, and other management concerns. Those factors explain why some state prisoners may be assigned to a county jail, but they are not a demographic report for the whole Duchesne County inmate population.

Pretrial detainee

A person held after arrest while court charges, bond, or release conditions are pending.

Local sentenced inmate

A person serving a jail sentence through the county system rather than a state prison term.

UDC inmate

A person under Utah Department of Corrections custody or supervision, including some housed in county jails.

Detainer

A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release even when local bond is addressed.

Duchesne County Inmate Laws

Utah law controls much of the public access around the Duchesne County inmate population. Jail data, booking records, photographs, death-in-custody reports, and county jail standards do not all follow one rule. Some records may be public, some may be private or protected, and some may require a written request with enough detail for the agency to identify the record.

The practical starting point is Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, known as GRAMA. The county's Electronic Records page directs sheriff-records requesters to the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office NextRequest portal and explains response timing. The same research source says ordinary requests have a maximum 10-business-day response time, while qualifying expedited requests have a 5-business-day timeline.

Duchesne County State Inmates

The Duchesne County inmate population cannot be understood only as a local arrest count. The Utah Department of Corrections facilities page states that about 25 percent of Utah state inmates are housed in county jail facilities as part of the Inmate Placement Program. UDC operates two state prisons and several community correctional centers, but no UDC state prison was located in Duchesne County.

Duchesne County Jail's state role is concrete. UDC has published material about the Building Trades program at the jail, a 14-week program with UBTech that has operated locally for 30 years and teaches skills such as framing, electrical work, plumbing, and woodworking. That program involved UDC-supervised students housed at Duchesne County Jail. For lookup purposes, this means a person may be physically in the county jail but still searched through UDC if the person is already in state custody or supervision.

The UDC Inmate Placement Program page is the source image for the state-contracting context below.

That state source explains why county jail lookup and UDC lookup can both matter for one Duchesne County facility.

Search Duchesne County Inmates

No official Duchesne County online jail roster, public current-inmate lookup, recent-bookings report, or mugshot gallery was located on the official county or sheriff site during the research review. That absence should be treated as a core search fact. A current Duchesne County inmate search starts with direct jail contact and then moves through custody notification, records requests, state corrections, court records, and federal or immigration locators as the facts require.

The strongest first call is the jail line, 435-738-0190. If that line does not resolve the question, the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office main number is 435-738-2015. Dispatch numbers are 435-738-2424 and 435-722-4558 for routing and non-emergency contact. The sheriff campus can also be visited in person at 21554 West 9000 South, Duchesne, Utah 84021 during posted sheriff business hours for front-counter questions.

1. Gather the person's full legal name, date of birth, aliases, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or booking number.
2. Call Duchesne County Jail at 435-738-0190 for current local custody, bond, release, transfer, or hold information that staff can lawfully release.
3. Use the sheriff main line or dispatch if the jail line is unavailable or if after-hours routing is needed.
4. Search Utah VINE for custody status and notification options when release or transfer alerts matter.
5. Search the UDC Offender Search if the person is sentenced, on probation or parole, or otherwise under Utah Department of Corrections custody.
6. Check Utah Courts Xchange or MyCourtCase after charges are filed, since court records and jail custody records answer different questions.
7. Use BOP for sentenced federal custody and ICE ODLS for immigration custody when local and state channels do not fit the case.

Duchesne County Lookup Fields

Because no official Duchesne County jail roster was located, there are no official county search fields, roster buttons, filters, refresh rates, release-retention rules, pagination controls, or sample public inmate-profile fields to document. The search-field table therefore has to distinguish the absent county roster from the official alternatives that do exist for Utah, federal, and immigration custody.

Readers should avoid treating a state or federal locator as a complete Duchesne County jail roster. Each tool covers a different custody slice. UDC specifically says unsentenced people awaiting trial and housed in county jail facilities will not be listed in the UDC Offender Search.

The UDC Offender Search page is the source image for the state locator scope below.

That notice is important when a recent Duchesne County arrest has not yet become a state corrections case.

Duchesne County Booking Records

Past and released inmate records usually require a records request because no official county archive or public booking-history search was located. The county directs sheriff records requesters to the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office NextRequest portal. The request should be narrow. Useful phrases include booking record, jail intake record, release record, bond sheet, incident report, or booking photograph, paired with the person's name, date of birth, date range, and arrest location if known.

The county's GRAMA materials require a written request, requester identification details, and a reasonably specific record description. Fees may apply. The sheriff GRAMA form lists the first 15 minutes at no charge, then $15 per hour, plus copy, photo, report, CD, fax, microfilm, and mailing-related fees depending on the record. Booking photographs need extra care because Utah Code 17-22-30 restricts release in publish-for-pay and protected-record contexts.

The county Electronic Records page is the source image for the GRAMA and NextRequest path below.

That county source is the clearest online route for sheriff records that are not available through a public roster.

Duchesne County Jail Lookup

Duchesne County Jail and the Utah Department of Corrections are connected, but they are not the same lookup system. The local jail is the first place to check for a recent county arrest. UDC is the correct path for people under state custody or supervision. Federal and immigration custody are separate again, and a person with a federal case may be in U.S. Marshals Service custody before appearing in BOP.

Duchesne County Custody Notifications

Utah VINE is useful when the main need is custody status or notification rather than a full booking record. It can help track release or transfer events when a person is in a covered custody or case-notification system. It should still be paired with direct jail contact for fresh local bookings because the county did not publish an official public roster in the reviewed sources.

Court records answer a different question. Utah Courts Xchange is the public case-search repository for district and justice court records. MyCourtCase is for parties to view their own case history, filed papers, hearings, and payments. For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator after sentencing or designation. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS.

The Utah VINE landing page is the source image for the custody-notification channel below.

VINE is best read as a notification and status tool, not as a replacement for sheriff records or court filings.

Duchesne County Detention Facility

The facility map for Duchesne County is simple. No separate official city jail, regional jail, work-release annex, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility physically in Duchesne County was located in the official source review. Roosevelt City has a police department, but no official Roosevelt city jail or separate roster was found. Local arrests generally route through the county jail system unless another agency takes custody.

Duchesne County Inmate FAQ

Does Duchesne County publish an online jail roster? No official Duchesne County online roster, current-inmate search, recent-bookings report, or public mugshot gallery was located on the official county or sheriff site. Current custody questions should start with the jail phone line, then move to sheriff contact, VINE, GRAMA, UDC, court, BOP, or ICE channels as needed.

What is the Duchesne County Jail capacity? The county jail information page states 166 beds. The sheriff About Us page states 165 beds. Both are official county sources, so the best wording is to state the sourced difference rather than averaging it or choosing one without context.

Who runs the Duchesne County inmate population? The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office operates the jail. Sheriff Travis L. Tucker is the elected sheriff. The jail itself is operated by corrections staff and is part of the sheriff's broader county law-enforcement and court-security system.

Can a Utah state inmate be held in Duchesne County? Yes. Official county and UDC sources show that Duchesne County Jail houses county and state inmates. UDC's Inmate Placement Program explains the state-county jail contracting system used for eligible state inmates.

Where should court charges be checked after a jail arrest? Use Utah Courts Xchange for public district and justice court case information after court staff enter the case. Defendants and parties can use MyCourtCase for their own case history and filed papers. Court charges may differ from booking charges.

Are Duchesne County mugshots online? No official county mugshot gallery was located. Utah booking-photo law restricts some releases and uses, so requests for booking photos should go through the sheriff GRAMA process and account for Utah Code 17-22-30.
