The Twin Falls County Jail Inmate Roster is a public resource that allows anyone to check who is currently in custody in Twin Falls County, Idaho. TwinFallsCourt.us helps quickly find public information about current and recently released inmates. Additionally, information can be obtained through the official sheriff's website, by calling the jail, or by visiting the facility's reception in person. The roster is maintained by the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office and is regularly updated to reflect the current inmate population. A search in the roster allows you to find out the inmate's name, booking date, charges, and bail amount.
Search Current Inmates in Twin Falls Jail
There are several ways to check if a specific person is in custody at the Twin Falls County Jail.
Online Search
- Go to TwinFallsCourt.us to search for public court records and inmate data.
- Visit the official Twin Falls County Sheriff's website — the jail roster section usually contains a list of people currently in custody.
- Enter the person's full legal name (last name is required) or booking number if you know it.
- If there is no separate search field on the roster page, use the browser's Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac) function to find the last name in the list.
For statewide Idaho court record searches, the Idaho Supreme Court's iCourt portal is useful, providing information on cases in all counties.
By Phone
Call the jail directly. The operator can confirm if a person is in custody if you provide the full name and date of birth. Do not use the 911 line — it is for emergencies only.
In Person
You can visit the jail lobby during business hours and request information at the visitor service window.
Important: Information about juvenile offenders is not displayed in the public roster — this is a requirement of Idaho law.
Find Twin Falls Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created every time a person is brought to jail and goes through the registration process. It is the first official document that records the fact of being in custody.
During booking, the following data is recorded:
- Unique booking number
- Date and time of admission
- Charges filed
- Arresting agency (sheriff, city police, Idaho State Police, etc.)
- Mugshot and basic personal information
To find a booking record online, start with the sheriff's office website or use TwinFallsCourt.us. If you need an official copy of the record, submit a written public records request to the sheriff's office. Some records can also be tracked through the Idaho court records online portal, which displays information on cases related to a specific arrest.
Note: A booking record is not a conviction. It only confirms the fact of arrest and registration in jail.
Search the Twin Falls Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The roster supports two main search methods.
Search by Last Name
Enter the last name in Latin letters exactly as it may be recorded in official documents. If the system supports additional fields, also provide the first name to narrow down the results. Some practical tips:
- Check the spelling — even one incorrect letter can yield no results.
- Try spelling variations if the last name has unusual transliteration.
- Some systems allow partial search: entering the first few letters of the last name will show all matches.
Search by Booking Number
If you know the booking number, enter it in the appropriate field. This is the most accurate method — the number is unique for each arrest.
When a search yields no results, it may mean several things: the person has been released, the data has not yet been entered into the system, or you used an incorrect name. In such cases, call the jail directly at (208) 736-4186 and verify the person's status by providing the full name and date of birth.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Twin Falls
The Twin Falls County Jail roster is updated throughout the workday, but there may be a delay of several minutes to several hours between the actual booking and the appearance of the record in the online system. Delays occur due to staff workload or technical system features.
Here is what to consider:
- The roster shows only those who are currently in custody. After release, the record disappears from the list.
- This is not an archive of all past arrests. To obtain historical data, submit a separate request to the sheriff's office or use the iCourt portal to search for court cases.
- Information may be temporarily unavailable during system maintenance.
- Data on federal inmates or those transferred to other facilities is not displayed in this roster.
If you are looking for information on a person detained by the Idaho State Police, they may be brought to the county jail, but the record will only appear after the booking process is completed on-site.
