No Lemhi County Jail Roster
No official Lemhi County online jail roster, current inmate PDF, inmate profile page, or county inmate search form was located in the official research. The local custody source is the Lemhi County Sheriff's Office, which lists the jail and dispatch function at the courthouse campus. For a current custody question, call the sheriff office at (208) 742-1680 or the non-emergency and jail dispatch line at (208) 756-8980. Use the person's full name and date of birth if available.
The absence of an online Lemhi County jail roster should not be read as proof that a person is not in custody. The person may be newly booked, released, moved to another county, transferred to Idaho Department of Correction custody, held on a different jurisdiction's warrant, or involved in a case that has not yet produced public court entries. Local phone confirmation is the clearest official path.
For filed charges after an arrest, use iCourt and the local clerk. Jail arrest information and court charge records can differ because the prosecutor decides what charges to file in court.
Lemhi County Jail Facility
The Lemhi County Detention Facility, also called the Lemhi County Jail, is listed at 206 Courthouse Drive, Salmon, Idaho 83467. Official county research states that the jail and dispatch staff consists of approximately 16 full-time and part-time officers. The facility houses adult and juvenile inmates, houses males and females, and has 26 beds. The Idaho Sheriffs' Association jail directory lists the same facility and phone number.
The Idaho Sheriffs' Association jail directory source used for Lemhi County inmate research is available at Directory of Idaho's Jails.
That directory supports the official local facility contact route when the county does not publish a live online Lemhi County inmate roster.

Search Lemhi County Inmate Records
The Lemhi County inmate search process is a channel check, not a single lookup. Start with the jail for current custody. Use VINE when custody or criminal-case notifications are needed. Use IDOC for state prison residents or supervision clients. Use iCourt to check whether charges have been filed. Use the county public records form when a public booking or jail record is needed and is not available by phone.
- Call Lemhi County jail dispatch or the sheriff office for current local custody information.
- Search Idaho VINE for custody status and notification options.
- Check the IDOC resident and client search for state prison custody or supervision.
- Search Idaho iCourt for filed Lemhi County criminal case information.
- Submit a written request through the Lemhi County public-records channel if non-confidential booking records are needed.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemhi County online jail roster | Not found | n/a | Official sources did not publish a county inmate search form. |
| Phone inquiry | Call | Practical | Use name and date of birth if available; call (208) 756-8980 or (208) 742-1680. |
| VINE search | Dynamic web search | Unspecified | Search Idaho custody and criminal-case notifications. |
| IDOC resident/client search | Dynamic web search | Unspecified | Use for sentenced IDOC custody or supervision; data is updated daily. |
| iCourt criminal case search | Web search | Varies | Search by case number, citation, party, or DOB depending on portal function. |
Lemhi County Inmates in State Systems
IDOC and VINE answer different questions. IDOC is for sentenced Idaho Department of Correction custody and supervision records. It is not the same as a new Lemhi County jail booking. IDOC states that the resident/client database updates daily, but fast changes may not reflect current location, status, or termination date. VINE is a custody status and criminal-case notification service that can help victims, family, and the public track events without relying on a local roster.
The state custody source captured for Lemhi County inmate research is the Idaho Department of Correction resident/client search.
This source is useful after a person leaves local jail for state custody, but it should not replace a jail call for a new Lemhi County booking.
For state-prison visiting rules, the research also captured IDOC visiting information.
IDOC visiting rules apply after transfer to state custody. They do not supply Lemhi County jail visitation hours.
Lemhi County Inmate Profile Fields
No official Lemhi County inmate profile was available to inspect. Because of that, expected roster fields should not be stated as if the county publishes them. A future official roster should be checked for each field before the information is used for search or identity decisions.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Not confirmed for Lemhi online use; would identify a jail booking if a roster later publishes it. |
| Booking date or time | Not confirmed online; would show when the person entered custody. |
| Arresting agency | Could identify sheriff, Salmon Police, or another agency if released. |
| Charges or hold reason | Could show arrest allegations, but filed charges must be confirmed in iCourt. |
| Bond or court date | Could show release or appearance information if public and current. |
| Facility and housing | Only the official facility facts are confirmed: adult/juvenile, male/female, 26-bed capacity. |
| Release date | Not confirmed online; custody status should be checked by phone or VINE. |
Note: Jail data can change faster than court data, so confirm current custody with the sheriff before travel or payment decisions.
Lemhi County Booking and Court Filing
A local arrest or citation can involve the sheriff, Salmon Police, or another law-enforcement agency. If the arrest is custodial, the person may be transported to the Lemhi County jail for identity checks, property handling, security and medical screening, booking photo or fingerprints if applicable, bond or hold review, and an initial appearance or citation court date. Felony initial appearances and preliminary hearings begin in Magistrate Court, while felony trial and sentencing move to District Court if the case proceeds.
The court side is separate. The prosecutor decides what charges to file. That means arrest allegations, jail intake labels, and court charge records may not match exactly. The Lemhi County arrest records and court charges path is useful for the filed-charge trail, while iCourt and the Lemhi County District Court Clerk are the official court-record channels.
The District of Idaho CM/ECF source captured in the inmate manifest is available at federal CM/ECF.
Federal court systems matter only when a custody or criminal case is federal, because ordinary Lemhi County jail bookings do not become federal records by default.
Lemhi County Jail Visitation Gaps
Official Lemhi County sources did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video visitation vendor, mail rules, commissary provider, phone provider, tablet program, dress code, visitor ID rule, minor visitor rule, attorney visitation schedule, or inmate money deposit instructions. Because no vendor was confirmed, do not assume Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, InmateSales, or any other private jail vendor applies.
| Topic | Official Lemhi Source Result | Action Before Travel |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published | Call the jail before visiting. |
| Video visitation | Not published | Do not create an account with a vendor unless jail staff confirms it. |
| Visitor ID | Not published | Ask whether government photo ID is required. |
| Child visitors | Not published | Ask whether a parent or guardian must be present. |
| Mail format | Not published | Confirm name, booking number, address, and scan-mail rules. |
| Money deposits | Not published | Ask whether deposits are in person, kiosk, mail, or online. |
| Attorney visitation | Not published | Attorneys should contact jail or dispatch directly. |
The Idaho judicial traffic-process page was captured in the inmate manifest at Idaho traffic case process.
That court-process source is relevant because some traffic or infraction defaults can lead to court custody issues, but it is not a Lemhi jail visitation source.
Lemhi County Jail App Caution
The research found Idaho Sheriff Connect app listings for Apple and Google Play. Store listings advertise real-time updates, latest news or events, jail information, and crime-prevention features for Idaho sheriff offices. Lemhi County participation was not confirmed on the Lemhi County website, and no app-only Lemhi inmate lookup was verified. Treat the app as a possible Idaho sheriff information channel to check, not as a guaranteed Lemhi County inmate roster.
For federal custody, the separate official lookup is the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator.
The federal locator is useful only for federal inmates. It does not replace the Lemhi County sheriff for local jail custody questions.
App caution: Do not assume an Idaho sheriff app has Lemhi jail data unless the county or app confirms Lemhi participation.
Lemhi County Inmate Records Request
For booking records or jail records that are public but not available by phone, use the Lemhi County written public-records process. The Lemhi County Public Records Request Form lists Lemhi County at 206 Courthouse Drive, Salmon, Idaho 83467, phone (208) 756-2815 extension 1738, fax (208) 756-8424, and email clerk@lemhicountyidaho.org. It asks requesters to identify the department and document types because specific requests speed processing.
Do not ask the public-records form to do what court records or custody systems do better. For current custody, call the jail. For state custody, search IDOC. For federal custody, use BOP. For filed charges, use iCourt or the District Court Clerk. Sensitive jail, juvenile, medical, security, victim, and investigative details may be withheld.
A useful Lemhi County inmate records request is narrow. Name the Sheriff's Office or Detention Facility as the department, identify the person by full name and date of birth if known, state whether the request concerns a booking record, release date, incident report, jail log entry, or another public record, and include the date range. The county form warns that large requests can require advance payment when more than two labor hours or more than one hundred paper copies are expected, so broad requests may take longer and cost more.
Some answers may still come from another custodian. If the question is whether charges were filed, the better source is iCourt or the District Court Clerk. If the question is whether the person is now in prison, IDOC is the better source. If the question is whether a victim needs status notice, VINE may be the better source. Matching the question to the right custodian reduces delays and avoids asking the jail to confirm records it does not maintain.
For families and attorneys, the safest habit is to ask for the next confirmed step rather than a broad status summary. Jail staff may be able to confirm whether the person is held locally, whether court or bond information must come from the clerk, and whether visitation, mail, or money rules are available by phone. They may not be able to discuss medical status, juvenile details, investigative facts, or another agency's hold beyond what is public and releasable.
