Boise County Jail Roster Overview
No official Boise County online inmate roster, recent-bookings feed, or mugshot gallery was found on the county site. The official local custody contacts are the Boise County Sheriff's Office and the Boise County Sheriff's Records Section. Research treats Sheriff Scott Turner as the current elected sheriff because the Idaho Secretary of State shows him winning the 2020 and 2024 sheriff elections. The sheriff's holding-facility policy confirms that the county keeps booking, intake, photograph, fingerprint, property, classification, incident, release, and medical records, but it does not turn those files into a public web search page.
A practical Boise County inmate records search therefore starts with status confirmation, not a web form. Call the sheriff if the question is whether someone is currently held. Use the Records Section for a written request when the question is about a booking record, incident record, or booking photo. If the person was sent to the adjacent serving jail, search Ada County Jail's official roster and confirm the result by phone or in person.
Search Boise County Inmate Records
The fallback chain is important because Boise County is not the City of Boise, and a Boise city arrest often belongs in Ada County systems. A Boise County arrest may involve the sheriff, Idaho City Police, Horseshoe Bend Police, Idaho State Police, or another agency. After booking, the person may stay in local temporary custody, move to Ada County Jail, appear in court, release on bond, or transfer to another agency.
- Call Boise County Sheriff's Office at 208-392-4411 with the person's full legal name and date of birth.
- Ask whether the person is in the holding facility, transferred to Ada County Jail, released, or held for another agency.
- For a document request, call the Boise County Records Section at 208-392-6059 and prepare a written request.
- Search the Ada County inmate roster if the person may be housed in the regional jail.
- Check Idaho iCourt after charges are filed, and use IDOC, BOP, or ICE if custody has moved outside local jail control.
The county Records Section says no information is released pursuant to telephone requests. That warning does not stop a live custody call, but it does mean copies of official Boise County inmate records require the written public-records route.
Boise County Roster Search Fields
Since Boise County lacks a public roster interface, the relevant web search-field table comes from Ada County Jail. The Ada roster is useful when a Boise County arrestee is housed there. The roster states that it updates every twenty-four hours, excludes juveniles, and should not be relied on for legal action without status confirmation.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type first letter(s) of last name | Text | Yes | The roster requires at least the first letter or letters of the last name. |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs a last-name-prefix search. |
| Hidden Person ID | System field | n/a | Used by the interface to open the detail and mugshot pane. |
The Ada County inmate roster is the source for this search layout.
The search field is narrow by design. If a last-name search fails, the next move is a phone check, not an assumption that the person is free.
Boise County Inmate Profile Fields
A public inmate profile may show less than the county keeps internally. Ada County's roster displays a jail identifier and current charge information. Boise County's policy keeps deeper intake and release records, including photos, fingerprints, property inventory, deposits, classification, court orders, grievances, discipline records, incident reports, and medical screening. Idaho law decides what can be released.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Displayed as last, first, and middle where available. |
| JID Number | Ada County jail identifier used for roster, mail, and account records. |
| Age | Age is shown instead of a full date of birth. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency responsible for the arrest or hold. |
| Charges | Plain-language charge descriptions, including warrants, holds, return to custody, or serving time. |
| Bail | Dollar amount, Included, Not Bailable, or a nonbailable notice when release is blocked. |
| Custody Notification | A prompt to register for custody-status updates through VINE. |
Find County, State, and Federal Inmates
The correct lookup source depends on custody type. Local jail records are for pretrial or short-term county custody. IDOC records are for sentenced Idaho prisoners or people on state probation or parole. Federal and immigration records are not held by the Boise County jail.
| Custody | Where to Look |
|---|---|
| Boise County temporary custody | Boise County Sheriff's Office, 208-392-4411. |
| Regional jail housing | Ada County Jail roster and phone confirmation at 208-577-3000. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search. |
| Federal inmate | Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System. |
Custody distinction: A Boise County booking charge is not the same as a filed court charge, and a county jail record is not an IDOC sentence record.
Boise County Jail Facilities

Booking Process in Boise County
The Boise County holding-facility policy gives a detailed intake process. The admitting officer verifies the arresting or committing officer, confirms authority to commit the person, reviews the paperwork, and identifies the detainee. If the person appears ill, injured, incoherent, or in need of inpatient care, medical documentation or command review is required before admission.
Searches are supposed to be complete but no more intrusive than needed for safety and security. Staff take property, count money with at least two employees, document valuables, photograph and fingerprint the person, complete medical and mental-health screening, and issue facility rules. A person held after admission receives at least three unmonitored calls to family, a bail bondsman, and an attorney.
Boise County Visitation Records
Boise County's policy does not publish a fixed public visitation schedule. It says public visits are authorized by the Jail Commander and must be at least twenty minutes when allowed. Attorney and clergy visits occur at reasonable hours and are not monitored, except for visual observation needed for security.
| Facility | Visit Rule Found | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Boise County Holding Facility | Public visits authorized by Jail Commander, at least twenty minutes when allowed. | Call 208-392-4411. |
| Boise County attorneys and clergy | Reasonable-hours visits, not monitored except visual observation for security. | Call before travel. |
| Ada County Jail public visits | Online video visits through GettingOut, with two free twenty-five-minute online visits per week. | Call 208-577-3113 or use GettingOut support. |
| Ada County professional visits | Virtual Visitation System for approved attorneys, clergy, and professionals. | Professional approval required. |
Contact Boise County Inmates
Boise County's local policy confirms phone access at admission but does not publish a public phone vendor, mail vendor, deposit vendor, or commissary page. Ada County publishes more detailed mail, phone, and money rules for people held in its jail. Personal mail for Ada County Jail is scanned and sent electronically, while publications must come from an approved publisher or bookstore and use the Barrister Drive publication address.
The Ada County mail and payments page is the source for mail, commissary, and deposit details.
Use Boise County contact channels for people held locally and Ada County's published rules only after custody at Ada County Jail is confirmed.
Request Boise County Booking Records
Boise County Records requires a written request, a specific record description, and complete identifying information for records about a person. Copying fees apply and must be paid before release. The office also cites Idaho Code 74-124 for law-enforcement record limits and Idaho Code 67-3009 for criminal-history-record restrictions.
- Use the full legal name and date of birth when asking about an individual.
- Specify the booking record, booking photo, incident report, or release record sought.
- Include the arrest date, court case number, or incident number if known.
- Expect review for open investigations, victim privacy, fair-trial rights, and personal identifiers.
- Check iCourt separately for filed charges and court events after an arrest.
Note: Confirm custody before sending money, scheduling a visit, or relying on a roster result for time-sensitive action.
