The Bonneville County jail roster is a public resource that lists individuals currently held in the county jail in Idaho. BonnevilleCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates, including booking details and charges. You can also access jail roster information through the official Bonneville County jail inmate list, by calling the jail, or by visiting in person. A jail roster search allows the public to confirm whether someone is in custody, view the charges against them, and identify booking dates. The Bonneville County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster, which is updated once per hour and hosted on the county's official website.
Search Current Inmates in Bonneville County Jail
There are several ways to look up someone currently held in the Bonneville County Jail. Here is how each method works:
Online Search
- Visit BonnevilleCourt.us to search for publicly available court record information tied to current and recent inmates.
- Go to the Bonneville County Jail Inmate List page on the county's official website. The roster displays a browsable list of individuals currently in custody.
- If the page does not include a search field, use your browser's built-in find function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Cmd+F on Mac) to locate a name on the list.
To search, you will need:
- The individual's full legal name (first and last)
- A booking number, if known
Juvenile offenders are not included on the public roster.
By Phone
Call the Bonneville County Jail directly at (208) 529-1315. Staff can confirm whether an individual is currently in custody and provide basic booking information over the phone.
In Person
You can visit the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office to inquire about current inmates at the front desk.
For related court records or case information, the Bonneville County Courts page provides access to the iCourt portal and 7th Judicial District Court resources.
Find Bonneville County Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Bonneville County Jail. This happens after an arrest, when jail staff record the person's identifying information and the circumstances of their detention.
Information generated at booking typically includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of booking
- Charges filed at the time of intake
- Arresting agency (Bonneville County Sheriff, Idaho Falls Police, Idaho State Police, etc.)
- Basic physical descriptors
The most direct way to access current booking records online is through the jail inmate list on the Bonneville County website. This list reflects individuals currently in custody and is updated hourly.
If you need booking records that are no longer displayed on the active roster — for example, records for someone who has already been released — you can submit a request through the county's public records request process. Law enforcement records requests are handled separately, so follow the instructions specific to that category.
For individuals who have been transferred to state custody, the Idaho Department of Correction resident search may provide current status information. Statewide offender and crime record resources are also available through the Idaho official offender search page.
Search the Bonneville County Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Bonneville County jail roster supports two primary ways to find an inmate:
Search by Last Name
- Start with the person's last name. If the roster page provides a search or filter field, type the last name first.
- If no search field is available, use your browser's find function to scan the page for the name.
- Adding a first name can help narrow results when common surnames return multiple entries.
- Make sure the spelling matches the person's legal name — nicknames and aliases may not appear on the roster.
Search by Booking Number
- If you already have a booking number (from a bail bondsman, attorney, or prior lookup), enter it directly to pull up the specific record.
- Booking numbers are assigned at intake and are unique to each booking event — a person booked more than once will have a different number each time.
What to Do If No Results Appear
If your search returns nothing, consider the following:
- The person may have already been released. The roster only shows individuals currently in custody.
- Double-check the spelling of the name. Try alternate spellings or hyphenated versions.
- The person may have been booked under a legal name that differs from the name you know.
- There may be a delay between the time of arrest and when the booking record appears on the roster.
- Call the jail at (208) 529-1315 to ask whether the person is or was recently in custody.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Bonneville County
The Bonneville County jail roster is updated once per hour, according to the county's official website. This means there can be a gap between the time someone is booked into the jail and when their name appears on the public list.
Common Limitations
- Booking-to-display delay: After an arrest, it may take time for jail staff to complete the intake process and enter data into the system. During busy periods, this delay can be longer.
- Released inmates disappear: Once a person is released from custody — whether through bail, bond, transfer, or case resolution — their record is typically removed from the active roster. The online list is not an archive.
- No historical search: The roster reflects current custody status only. It does not function as a database of all past bookings. For older records, submit a public records request to the Sheriff's Office.
- Data entry variations: Names may appear differently than expected due to legal name usage, data entry conventions, or middle name inclusion.
- Juvenile exclusion: Minors are never listed on the public jail roster.
If you need court case details beyond what the roster provides — such as hearing dates, case dispositions, or filed charges — the Idaho Supreme Court's online court records portal (iCourt) allows statewide searches by name or case number. For questions about Bonneville County court records specifically, contact the Bonneville County Clerk's office at (208) 529-1350.
