Lookup Clark County Inmate Records

Clark County inmate records are searched through a local fallback chain because the county jail does not publish a live online roster in the reviewed official sources. A Clark County jail roster search can mean calling the sheriff's jail line, requesting a booking record, checking court records after charges are filed, or using state and federal locators after a transfer. The key is matching the search to the custody stage: local jail custody, state correction custody, federal custody, or immigration detention.

Clark County Jail Roster Status

Clark County does not publish an official online jail roster in the sources reviewed. The Clark County Sheriff's Office page lists Sheriff Mark McClure and the sheriff phone, but it does not link an inmate-search portal, recent-booking feed, mugshot gallery, visitation page, commissary page, or jail operations page. The Idaho Sheriffs' Association directory goes one step further by listing Clark County Jail with "Website: No website."

That finding changes how Clark County inmate records should be searched. The local route is not a public form with name and booking-number fields. It is a sequence: call the jail, confirm whether the person is in local custody, ask what can be released by phone, and use a written public-record request for records that are not available through direct contact. For formal charges or hearing dates, search Idaho iCourt rather than expecting the jail to supply the full court case file.

The official Clark County Sheriff page is the starting local source for the jail operator and sheriff contact.

The sparse sheriff page is why Clark County inmate records searches rely heavily on phone contact and public-record requests.


Search Clark County Jail Custody

The fastest Clark County inmate records check is a current-custody call to Clark County Jail or the Sheriff's Office. The jail and sheriff contact number in the research is 208-374-5403. Have enough identifying detail ready to help staff distinguish the person from anyone with a similar name. If staff cannot release a detail by phone, ask which written request process applies.

  1. Call 208-374-5403 and ask whether the person is currently held at Clark County Jail.
  2. Give the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date or approximate date, and arresting agency if known.
  3. Ask whether the person was released, transferred, never booked there, or moved to another custody level.
  4. For records not released by phone, use the Clark County Public Record Request form and describe the booking record or jail log entry sought.
  5. Search iCourt for court charges, IDOC for state custody, VINELink for notification, and BOP or ICE when federal or immigration custody is possible.

Clark County Roster Search Fields

The roster field inventory for Clark County is a no-roster inventory. No official local roster form was located, and no public Clark County inmate profile could be inspected. The useful search fields are the facts a caller or requester should provide, plus the separate search fields used by state and federal systems when the person is no longer in local custody.

Field LabelTypeRequiredNotes
Clark County online rosterNot availableNot availableNo official online roster was located
Full legal namePhone/request detailYesPrimary fact for a jail custody call or records request
Date of birthPhone/request detailIf knownHelps jail staff distinguish similar names
Approximate arrest or booking datePhone/request detailIf knownUseful for older booking records

Note: A roster result and a court case are separate records; use the jail for custody and iCourt for filed charges.


Clark County Inmate Profile Fields

No Clark County online inmate profile was available for inspection, so the field list below is framed as what to request or verify, not as fields guaranteed to appear online. Idaho Code 20-601 supports the existence of booking photographs and fingerprints when an arrested person is taken to a county jail. Idaho public-record law and law-enforcement exemptions determine what can be released.

FieldWhat It Shows
NamePerson booked or held; use full legal name in a request
Booking date/timeNot published online in the reviewed sources; ask for it if needed
Booking photographPhoto taken during county jail booking, subject to records-law review
FingerprintsBooking identifier collected under Idaho law, not a public roster display field
Arrest chargeBooking allegation or charge basis, which may differ from filed court charges
Bond or bailConfirm with the jail, clerk, or iCourt once a case exists
Release or transferAsk the jail and then search IDOC, BOP, or ICE if custody changed

Request Clark County Booking Records

The Clark County Clerk page links the county public-record request form. The form is titled for Clark County public records, cites Idaho Code 74-101 through 74-126, and asks for the requester's name, address, phone, email, description of the information requested, number of copies, signature, and date. It states that a Clark County representative will contact the requester within three working days of receipt.

Write the request in record-specific terms. For Clark County inmate records, that may mean "booking record," "jail log entry," "booking photograph," "release date," "bond information," "arrest report," or "incident report." Add the person's full name, approximate arrest or booking date, and case number if known. The form includes copy-fee guidance, including under 100 copies free, pages at $0.10, recorded documents at $1.00, and hourly work after two free hours. If the filing method is unclear, call 208-374-5304 or the jail line before submitting.


Clark County vs State Custody

Clark County inmate records cover local jail custody. IDOC records cover state correction custody and supervision. Federal and immigration locators cover a different set of agencies. This distinction matters because a person can move from a Clark County arrest to state custody, federal pretrial custody, immigration detention, or release. Searching the wrong system may return nothing even when the person is in custody somewhere else.

Clark County Jail Contact Card

Clark County Jail is the only local detention facility identified in the facility map. The jail is operated by the Clark County Sheriff's Office.

Clark County Booking Process

Idaho Code 20-601 sets the base county-jail rule. A person arrested and taken to a county jail must submit to the booking process, including photograph and fingerprints. The statute also says a person refusing the full booking process is held until it is complete or a magistrate or district judge orders release, and the person must be taken before a magistrate at the next scheduled first appearance time.

Clark County-specific booking desk hours, classification forms, medical-screening procedures, phone-call timing, and property rules were not published in the official local sources reviewed. For a small 8-bed jail, housing and transfer choices may be very case specific. Family members, counsel, and record requesters should confirm current custody first, then use iCourt for the court case once charges are filed.


Clark County Visitation Records

No official Clark County Jail visitation schedule, mail policy, phone vendor, video-visitation vendor, commissary vendor, money-deposit process, bond-counter schedule, or dress code was located. This is not a gap to fill with another county's rules. Use the table as an operational checklist before traveling or sending anything to the jail.

Clark County Bond Records

Clark County does not publish local bond-window hours, accepted payment methods, or online jail bond instructions in the reviewed sources. Bond information for a Clark County arrest should be confirmed through the jail, the clerk or court, and iCourt after a case appears. Idaho Criminal Rule 46 allows release on recognizance or bail and recognizes cash deposits, property bonds, and surety bonds. It also says the court must not require bail only in cash or set different amounts based on whether the bond is cash, property, or surety.

Bond TypeIdaho Research Note
Own recognizanceRelease based on a promise and court conditions rather than posted money
Cash depositMay include currency, money order, certified check, cashier's check, and approved card or check procedures
Property bondBail secured by property under Idaho Criminal Rule 46
Surety bondIssued through a qualified surety insurance company
No-bond or holdMay block release until a court or another agency acts

Federal and ICE Inmate Records

No BOP-operated federal prison and no ICE detention facility were identified in Clark County. A federal defendant from Clark County may be in local custody, USMS pretrial custody, BOP sentenced custody, or another contract jail. The BOP locator has number and name search paths. ICE ODLS searches by A-number and country of birth or by biographical details, and it does not return records for people under 18.

ICE's Idaho context points outside Clark County. The research identified Idaho Falls check-in coverage for Clark County and Elmore County Jail in Mountain Home as an Idaho ICE detention facility. Use those facts only for immigration custody routing, not as evidence that Clark County Jail is an ICE facility. For formal charges after a local booking, search Clark County court records after jail arrest.
