Lookup Ferry County Jail Inmates

Ferry County Jail Overview

Ferry County's official jail page identifies the jail as the county corrections facility in Republic and places it next to the courthouse. The operator is the Ferry County Sheriff's Office / Ferry County Corrections. The jail is the local custody point for Ferry County arrests, warrant bookings, commitments, and people held before court, but its population is not limited to Ferry County cases. The roster page states that Ferry County Corrections also has contracts involving Republic Police, the Washington Department of Corrections, Stevens County, Kittitas County, Kootenai County, Border Patrol, and ICE.

The public-facing record for Ferry County Jail is a roster PDF, not a live inmate-name search portal. A person may be booked for the Sheriff's Office, a DOC hold, a warrant, a commitment, another county hold, or another agency. That distinction matters. The local jail can hold a person while another court, county, state agency, or federal immigration channel controls the next step. For broader custody context and facility links, the Ferry County inmate population hub separates county jail custody from state, federal, and immigration searches.

The screenshot confirms that the county publishes a compact jail page, so several visitor and mail rules must be confirmed directly with staff instead of inferred from the website.

Ferry County Jail Population

The best capacity source in the research is the May 2022 Washington State University / Washington Rural Jails Network fact sheet. It used Ferry County Sheriff's Office jail records and reported that the current jail was built in 1976. The same fact sheet gave a regular capacity of 92 people and an emergency capacity of up to 110 people. A current roster PDF dated June 29, 2026 showed 27 people in custody, but that figure is only a point-in-time roster count, not an average daily population report.

WSU's booking review also helps explain why the Ferry County Jail roster can include many custody types. From January 2016 through August 2021, the study analyzed 2,668 bookings. It counted 1,617 contract county or DOC violation holds, 292 local sentence commitments, and 759 pretrial incidents involving 550 people. Average pretrial stay was 9.9 days, while DOC community custody violation stays averaged about 10.5 days. Monthly admissions fell from about 55 to 60 per month in 2016 and 2017 to around 30 per month by 2019, then stayed below 20 per month through much of the COVID period.

Ferry County Jail Roster Lookup

For a current Ferry County Jail inmate lookup, use the official Ferry County Inmate Roster page. The page links Daily Booking Log and Daily Inmate Roster PDFs through the county document center. The document-center search field searches file names, not inmate names, so the practical method is to open the newest roster PDF and use the browser or PDF viewer find tool. The June 29, 2026 roster PDF had fields for Name #, Name, Initial Booking, Booked For, and Booking Type.

1. Open the official inmate roster page and choose the newest Daily Inmate Roster or Daily Booking Log PDF.
2. Search the PDF for the last name or scan the roster rows if spelling is uncertain.
3. Write down the Name #, which Ferry County uses as the Booking # for custody-notification lookup.
4. Go to VINELink, choose Ferry County Corrections, and use the Booking # as the Offender ID.
5. If the person is missing from the roster, call the jail, then check WA DOC, BOP, or ICE if the custody source may have changed.

The roster page screenshot shows the exact local access points before the PDF list, including MyCarePack and VINELink instructions.

Open the Ferry County Inmate Roster page to confirm the latest roster file before relying on a saved PDF.

The page layout is important because a name search in the document center is not the same as an inmate profile search.

Ferry County Jail Contact

The jail publishes a direct facility phone, fax, mailing address, and staff contact email. The contact card below uses the official jail page and county directory details. Jail contact is the right channel for current custody confirmation, visitation questions, mail-format questions, and roster entries that are unclear. Public-record requests should be routed through the county records tools when a person needs a record rather than a same-day custody answer.

Ferry County Jail Visits

Ferry County publishes a limited visiting schedule. The official jail page lists visiting hours on Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It does not publish a visit length, appointment rule, government-ID rule, dress code, child visitor rule, attorney visit schedule, video visitation vendor, or holiday-change policy. The safer reading is narrow: the county confirms the public visiting window, while all visitor screening and sign-in details should be checked by phone before travel.

Note: Confirm custody and visit access with Ferry County Jail before driving to Republic for a scheduled or informal visit.

Ferry County Jail Money

Ferry County gives one clear commissary route. The roster page links MyCarePack for inmate commissary deposits and says the sender needs the inmate's name, the inmate's booking number, and facility code W48. It also lists assistance at (866) 345-1884. The county page does not publish a deposit fee schedule, accepted card list, kiosk location, money-order rule, refund policy, or spending limit, so those items should be confirmed with MyCarePack or jail staff before sending funds.

Mail is the main gap. The county gives a general jail mailing address, but it does not state whether inmate mail must include a booking number, whether mail is scanned, whether postcards are required, or which items are banned. Use the jail phone before mailing legal mail, photos, books, money orders, or any item with a deadline.

Ferry County Jail Booking

Ferry County has not published a full booking handbook, so intake details should be read from the local roster fields and the confirmed custody sources. A person may enter the jail after an arrest, warrant pickup, court commitment, DOC community-custody violation, other-county hold, Border Patrol or ICE hold, or contract transfer. Intake creates or updates the booking number, records the initial booking date and time, and labels the booked-for agency and booking type. Those public labels are useful, but they are not full case records.

The "Booked For" field can change how a family member should search next. A Sheriff's Office booking may lead to Ferry County District Court or Superior Court. A DOC hold may require the Washington DOC incarcerated search. An other-county hold may need contact with the outside county. A Border Patrol or ICE-related hold may require ICE ODLS. Federal sentenced custody is checked through the BOP inmate locator, not the Ferry County Jail roster.

DOC hold

A jail hold tied to Washington Department of Corrections supervision or custody.

Other county hold

Custody for another county, often under contract or transfer authority.

Commitment

A jail entry after a court order or sentence.

Detainer

A request or authority from another agency to hold or notify before release.

Ferry County Jail Records

Washington law draws a line between the public jail register and broader inmate records. RCW 70.48.100 makes the jail register open to the public, which supports Ferry County's roster PDF. The same statute treats many records of a person confined in jail as confidential unless an exception applies. That is why the public roster can show a booking row while omitting mugshots, medical information, classification, housing, bond, charges, release plan, and court dates.

For a record that is not on the roster, use the Ferry County Citizen Request Center or the county GovQA public records portal and route the request to Jail, Sheriff, or Public Records. Washington's public-records process under RCW 42.56.080 requires an identifiable record request, and RCW 42.56.520 sets the basic agency response framework. For formal charges after a jail arrest, court records are separate from jail records and should be checked through Washington Courts or the filing court.

About Ferry County Jail

Ferry County Jail is a small-county facility with a wide custody mix. The WSU / Washington Rural Jails Network study found that DOC violation holds and bed-rental or other-jurisdiction holds made up a large share of admissions during the study period. That finding matches the county roster page, which lists contracts with nearby counties and federal or immigration-related agencies. The result is a jail roster where a person may be physically held in Republic while the legal path points to Ferry County, another county, WA DOC, BOP, ICE, or a contract agency.
