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.
- Call 208-374-5403 and ask whether the person is currently held at Clark County Jail.
- Give the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date or approximate date, and arresting agency if known.
- Ask whether the person was released, transferred, never booked there, or moved to another custody level.
- For records not released by phone, use the Clark County Public Record Request form and describe the booking record or jail log entry sought.
- 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 Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clark County online roster | Not available | Not available | No official online roster was located |
| Full legal name | Phone/request detail | Yes | Primary fact for a jail custody call or records request |
| Date of birth | Phone/request detail | If known | Helps jail staff distinguish similar names |
| Approximate arrest or booking date | Phone/request detail | If known | Useful for older booking records |
| Case number | Request/iCourt detail | If known | Use for court records and filed charges |
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.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Person booked or held; use full legal name in a request |
| Booking date/time | Not published online in the reviewed sources; ask for it if needed |
| Booking photograph | Photo taken during county jail booking, subject to records-law review |
| Fingerprints | Booking identifier collected under Idaho law, not a public roster display field |
| Arrest charge | Booking allegation or charge basis, which may differ from filed court charges |
| Bond or bail | Confirm with the jail, clerk, or iCourt once a case exists |
| Release or transfer | Ask 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.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or short local jail custody | Clark County Jail phone and records request | Local booking, hold, release, transfer, or bond status |
| State prison, probation, or parole | IDOC Resident/Client Search | People under Idaho Department of Correction jurisdiction |
| Custody notification | Idaho VINELink | Custody and court notification where data is connected |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Adult ICE detainee location searches |
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. The Idaho Sheriffs' Association directory lists Sheriff Mark McClure as sheriff and jail administrator, and the sheriff profile adds the same county mailing context and a fax number.

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.
| Topic | Official Clark County Finding | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | No schedule or rules published | Call 208-374-5403 before arriving |
| Video visitation | No vendor or schedule located | Ask whether video visits exist |
| No jail-specific format located | Confirm exact name, number, and address format | |
| Money deposits | No kiosk, online vendor, or fee table located | Ask whether funds are accepted and in what form |
| Commissary | No vendor located | Ask whether commissary is available |
| Attorney visitation | No separate local policy located | Counsel should contact jail staff directly |
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 Type | Idaho Research Note |
|---|---|
| Own recognizance | Release based on a promise and court conditions rather than posted money |
| Cash deposit | May include currency, money order, certified check, cashier's check, and approved card or check procedures |
| Property bond | Bail secured by property under Idaho Criminal Rule 46 |
| Surety bond | Issued through a qualified surety insurance company |
| No-bond or hold | May 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.
