Bannock County Jail Roster: Use the Sheriff App for Current Custody
Bannock County now directs inmate-search users to its official Sheriff’s App rather than a standalone browser roster. Start on the county’s Jail Roster page, follow its App Store or Google Play link, and use the Detention Center at 208-236-7125 when a current custody answer affects bond, court, medication, transportation or safety.
The Bannock County Detention Center is at 5800 S. 5th Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83204. The county currently lists a rated capacity of 330. A jail result is custody information—not a conviction or final court disposition.
Need current jail custody?
Use the county Jail Roster page and open the Sheriff’s App. The app includes the jail roster and warrant search.
Need the criminal case?
Use Idaho iCourt for available case information, then contact the Bannock County court clerk when you need the official case record.
Need a jail service?
Use the Detention Center page for the current visitor handbook, Securus, Access Corrections, bond information, PREA and VINE links.
The key 2026 change: the roster is app-first
Bannock County’s current Jail Roster page says the inmate list is now part of the Sheriff’s App. The county describes the app as a faster, easier and more up-to-date route and links directly to the official Android and Apple downloads.
The same app also includes a Warrant Search. Keep the two functions separate: a warrant result can show an outstanding legal process, while the jail roster answers whether someone is listed in local custody. A warrant does not by itself prove the person is in the Bannock County Detention Center.
Choose the official system that matches your question
Custody, warrants, court cases, police records, state corrections and federal custody are different records. Checking the correct system first avoids many false “no result” conclusions.
| Question | Official route | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person in the county jail? | Bannock County Jail Roster page / Sheriff’s App | Current Bannock County inmate-list search. |
| Is there a Bannock County warrant? | Sheriff’s App warrant search | Warrant lookup available in the same county app; it is separate from current jail custody. |
| What is happening in the court case? | Idaho iCourt Portal | General state trial-court case information. For case records, use a courthouse kiosk or request the record from the clerk where filed. |
| How do I post or verify bond? | Bannock County Bail Bond Information | Cash, surety and property bond guidance, plus the state online bond route. |
| How do visits, deposits or custody notifications work? | Bannock County Detention Center | Current visitor handbook, Securus, Access Corrections, PREA and VINE links. |
| How do I request a sheriff or court record? | Bannock County Public Records Requests | Separate forms for Sheriff’s Office, court and general county records. |
| Could the person be in Idaho state custody? | IDOC Resident/Client Search | People incarcerated or supervised under Idaho Department of Correction jurisdiction. |
| Could the person be in federal BOP custody? | Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator | Federal inmate records from 1982 to the present; a listed release date can change. |
How to search the Bannock County jail roster
- Open the county roster page. Start at Bannock County’s official Jail Roster page so the app-store link comes from the government source rather than an advertisement or copied inmate directory.
- Open the Sheriff’s App. Use the Android or Apple link supplied by Bannock County. The county identifies the app as the current home of its inmate list.
- Search the legal name carefully. Start with the full legal name. If no match appears, check spelling and consider a former, maiden or hyphenated surname where relevant.
- Compare more than the name. Review any available booking, charge, bond, court, date or identity details before assuming a result belongs to the person you are looking for.
- Verify the next task in its own system. Use iCourt for the case, the county bond page for payment rules, and the Detention Center page for visits, deposits, records and other jail services.
Useful information to have before you search
- Full legal first and last name
- Middle name, initial or suffix when known
- Former, maiden or hyphenated surname when relevant
- Approximate age or birth year
- Approximate arrest date and arresting agency
- Possible case number, charge or warrant
- Whether another Idaho county, IDOC or a federal agency may be involved
How to read a booking or custody result
| Field | Useful for | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Matching the identity used in the jail record. | A name alone proves identity when people have similar names. |
| Booking date | Understanding when jail processing was recorded. | It is necessarily the exact arrest time. |
| Charge | Understanding the allegation or booking authority shown at that time. | It is a conviction or the final prosecutor/court disposition. |
| Bond | Identifying a bond entry that may need case-specific verification. | Payment guarantees immediate release or clears another hold. |
| Court / case information | Connecting the custody record to the court process when shown. | The jail display is the certified court record. |
| Booking photo | One possible identity clue when a photo is available. | A photo establishes guilt, final outcome or present custody by itself. |
What to do when the person is not listed
A blank roster result is a starting point for troubleshooting, not proof that no arrest or case exists.
| Problem | Possible explanation | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest happened very recently | The arresting agency may still be completing reports, testing, transport or intake, or the public record may not yet reflect completed booking. | Recheck the Sheriff’s App and call 208-236-7125 when current custody must be confirmed. |
| Name does not match | Spelling, suffix, former surname or another legal-name variation may differ from what you entered. | Try verified name variations and compare other identifiers rather than relying on a name alone. |
| Court case exists but no jail result | A person can have an active case, citation, warrant or later hearing without being in current county custody. | Search iCourt separately and use the Sheriff’s App warrant function when warrant status is the question. |
| Person may have left county custody | Release or transfer can remove the person from a current county roster. | Call the jail for current confirmation and use IDOC or BOP only when the case or transfer information points there. |
| Arrest happened in another county | The arresting or housing agency may be outside Bannock County. | Identify the arresting/transporting agency or court first; do not search random county rosters. |
| The person is a juvenile | The adult county roster is not the correct public route for juvenile detention information. | Use the official District VI Juvenile Detention Center contact information where appropriate. |
Booking and release: what the roster cannot tell you by itself
Before a public jail record is complete, an arresting agency may still be handling transport, reports, testing or other processing. Intake also involves identity, safety, property and medical steps. Bannock County does not promise that every new arrest will appear instantly in the public app.
A judge’s release order or a posted bond does not mean the person has physically left the facility. Jail staff may still need to receive and process paperwork, verify payment, prepare property, or address another agency hold. Call the Detention Center before arranging transportation when pickup timing matters.
Bail and bond in Bannock County
Bannock County’s current bail page explains cash, surety and property bonds and links to Idaho’s online bond service. Anyone posting money should verify the defendant, case number, bond type, amount and any additional holds before paying.
Cash bond
The county describes a cash bond as the full bail amount plus a nonrefundable $10 Sheriff’s fee. Its example shows a $500 cash bond costing $510. The county warns that fees can change, so recheck the official page before payment.
Surety bond
A licensed bond agent can post an eligible surety bond for a nonrefundable premium and may require collateral. Review the contract carefully; the premium and Sheriff’s fee are not refunded simply because the case later ends.
Property bond
The county treats property bonds as a separate, more complex court process. Do not assume property can be pledged at the jail counter; follow the court’s current procedure.
Cash-bond refund
Cash bond may be applied to fines and costs. The county says refund processing can take time, and the receipt should correctly identify whose money was posted because any remaining refund goes according to the court’s bond record.
Before paying
- Confirm the full legal name and correct case.
- Confirm the current amount and whether the bond is cash-only.
- Ask whether another warrant, detainer or charge prevents release.
- Confirm the current Sheriff’s fee and payment route.
- Keep the receipt and understand refund, forfeiture, premium and collateral terms.
Read Bannock County’s current bail and bond instructions before paying. Payment does not guarantee immediate release.
Use Idaho courts for the legal case, not the jail roster
Bannock County is in Idaho’s Sixth Judicial District. The Bannock County Courthouse is at 624 E. Center, Pocatello, ID 83201. The Idaho Courts directory lists the main court phone as 208-236-7342, District Court at 208-236-7350, Magistrate Division at 208-236-7351, and Traffic at 208-236-7273.
Beginning August 1, 2026, Bannock County states that the Clerk of the District Court is open to the public Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:45 p.m., excluding holidays and emergency closures. Court Administration lists the same hours at 624 E. Center and a phone number of 208-236-7379.
General case information
Search Idaho iCourt for available trial-court case information. A case result can exist even when the person is not currently in jail.
Actual court records
The Idaho Judicial Branch says publicly available case records can be accessed at courthouse kiosks or requested from the clerk’s office where the case was filed. The online portal is not a substitute for a certified record when certification matters.
Visitation, phone access and messages
Bannock County’s current Detention Center page directs visitors to its Visitor Information Handbook and to Securus for visitation accounts. Use those current county/vendor routes before scheduling because housing-unit windows, approval rules, fees and service availability can change.
The county’s current page points readers to the Visitor Information Handbook for the detailed housing-unit schedule, approval and cancellation rules, and other communication instructions. Check that current handbook and the Securus account before each visit instead of relying on a copied schedule, because facility operations and provider terms can change.
Before scheduling a visit
- Confirm the person is still in Bannock County custody.
- Open Securus from the county Detention Center page.
- Read the current Visitor Information Handbook.
- Confirm visitor approval, ID requirements, housing schedule and current fees.
- Check for holidays, lockdowns or other operational restrictions before traveling.
Phone or urgent message issue
Use Securus for supported inmate communication services. Routine jail staff are not a substitute for the provider account. For an urgent welfare or verified emergency concern involving someone in custody, call the Detention Center at 208-236-7125.
Mail, publications, inmate money and property
Mail and publications
Before sending a letter, photo, book or magazine, confirm the current inmate-mailing address and restrictions in Bannock County’s current Visitor Information Handbook or by calling the Detention Center. Do not assume the Sheriff’s street address is automatically the inmate-mail address, and do not reuse an old mailing label without checking it.
Confirm the required inmate name/identifier, sender return address, photograph limits, publication-source rules and prohibited items before mailing. Legal mail can follow different handling rules from personal correspondence.
Money and commissary
The current Detention Center page links Access Corrections for inmate-account deposits. Before submitting money, confirm the person is still housed at Bannock County, select the correct facility and inmate, review the provider’s current deposit limits and fees, and save the confirmation.
Property or medication
Call 208-236-7125 before bringing property, medication or documents to the facility. Eligibility, authorization, security screening and pickup/drop-off procedures can differ by item and custody status. For a medical emergency or immediate safety concern, use the appropriate emergency channel rather than relying on the public roster.
Sheriff records, court records, booking photos and PREA
Request the record from the agency that owns it
A jail roster entry is not the same as a police incident report, arrest narrative, historical jail record or court file. Bannock County provides separate request forms for Sheriff’s Office records, judicial records and other county records.
The county’s public-records page says completed request forms can be sent to recordsrequest@bannockcounty.gov or brought to the Bannock County Courthouse Clerk’s Office. The Sheriff’s Records Bureau phone listed by the county is 208-236-7119.
Booking photos
A booking photo, when available through a public custody or record system, documents part of the booking process. It does not establish guilt or show the final court outcome. If you need a specific releasable image or record, use the Sheriff’s records-request process rather than assuming a third-party mugshot site is current or complete.
PREA / sexual-abuse reporting
Bannock County states that the Detention Center has a zero-tolerance PREA policy. For suspected sexual abuse or sexual harassment at the adult Detention Center, the county lists the Jail Administrator at 208-236-7130, a Detention Supervisor at 208-236-7125, or the Pocatello Police Department at 208-234-6100.
When Bannock County is not the correct custody system
Idaho Department of Correction
Use the IDOC Resident/Client Search when a person may be incarcerated, on probation or on parole under state correctional jurisdiction. IDOC allows searches by last name or IDOC number and says its database is updated daily, but rapidly changing status or location may not be immediately reflected.
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Use the BOP Inmate Locator when federal BOP custody is plausible. BOP covers federal inmate records from 1982 to the present and warns that release dates can change.
Juvenile detention
The adult jail app is not the correct route for juvenile detention information. Bannock County’s District VI Juvenile Detention Center page lists its own contacts and procedures.
VINE notifications
Bannock County’s Detention Center page links VINE for custody-status notifications. Use the official county link to reach the current service and do not use a notification service as a substitute for emergency assistance.

Use Bannock County custody information responsibly
- An arrest is not a conviction.
- A booking charge is not the final prosecutor filing or court disposition.
- A warrant does not prove current incarceration.
- A screenshot can become stale after release, transfer or correction.
- Use court records for legal outcomes and certified records when certification matters.
- Do not use public jail information to harass, threaten, stalk or shame a listed person.
- Do not publish private victim, juvenile or medical information.
Bannock County jail roster FAQs
How do I search the Bannock County jail roster?
Open Bannock County’s official Jail Roster page and follow its link to the Sheriff’s App. The county says the inmate list is now part of that app. If the app does not answer an urgent custody question, call the Detention Center at 208-236-7125.
Is there still a public Bannock County web roster?
The county’s current roster page directs users to the Sheriff’s App as the home of the inmate list. Start on that official county page so you use the current government-provided route rather than an old browser bookmark or third-party roster.
Does the Bannock County Sheriff’s App also show warrants?
Yes. Bannock County lists Warrant Search as an app feature. A warrant result and a jail-roster result answer different questions: a warrant does not by itself prove the person is currently incarcerated.
Why is a recently arrested person not appearing?
Transport, arresting-agency processing, intake or booking may still be underway, or the person may be in another facility. Recheck the official app and call 208-236-7125 when present custody must be confirmed.
How do I verify a Bannock County court date or case?
Use Idaho iCourt for available case information. For the court record itself, use the public courthouse record access route or request it from the clerk where the case was filed.
How do I post bail in Bannock County?
First verify the current amount, bond type, case and any additional holds. Bannock County’s bail page covers cash, surety and property bonds and links to Idaho’s online bond route. The county currently lists a nonrefundable $10 Sheriff’s fee for cash bond, but recheck before paying.
How do I arrange a visit at Bannock County Detention Center?
Open the official Detention Center page, read the current Visitor Information Handbook and use the county’s Securus link. Confirm visitor approval, identification requirements, the person’s housing schedule and any current fees before traveling or paying.
How can I add money to an inmate account?
Bannock County’s Detention Center page links Access Corrections for inmate-account deposits. Confirm the person is still housed at Bannock County, select the correct facility and inmate, review current fees and limits, and save the transaction confirmation.
Where should I look if the person is no longer in Bannock County custody?
Use the agency indicated by the case or transfer information. For Idaho correctional custody or supervision, search IDOC Resident/Client Search. For federal BOP custody, use the federal Inmate Locator. Do not search unrelated counties without a jurisdiction clue.
Can a Bannock County jail roster entry be used as proof of guilt?
No. A roster or booking record documents custody-related information at a point in time. Arrest, charges, bond and a booking photo do not establish a conviction or final court disposition.
