Search the Current Custody Route First—Then Confirm Which Jail’s Rules Apply
Latah County has an unusual custody-search setup: the Sheriff’s current Jail Roster link sends users to the Nez Perce County in-custody report, while Latah County still publishes active pages for its own Moscow jail, bond procedure, visitation, GettingOut accounts, inmate mail and PREA reporting.
The safest workflow is not “find a name and assume Moscow.” Use the Sheriff’s current roster route, confirm the person’s physical holding facility, then use the mail, visit, money, bond and release rules for that actual facility.
Use Latah Sheriff for the official roster route, Sheriff records, Latah court questions, local bond instructions and Latah PREA reporting.
The current roster route goes to Nez Perce County. Do not use Moscow mail, visitation or commissary rules until the holding facility is confirmed.
Official sources reviewed October 4, 2026. Current custody, housing, bond, mail, visitation and vendor instructions can change after this review.
Which Official Source Answers Your Exact Question?
Current roster route
Latah Sheriff → Nez Perce In Custody
The current Latah Sheriff page links its Jail Roster label to Nez Perce County’s in-custody report. Use it as the official starting route, then confirm housing.
Latah criminal case
Idaho iCourt Portal
Use Idaho iCourt for public state trial-court case information. Use the Latah District Court clerk when you need the actual court file, hearing confirmation or a clerk-controlled record.
Latah Sheriff record
Sheriff Records Office
Use a written records request for Latah Sheriff police or accident reports and for a specific releasable booking/arrest record maintained by that office.
Local jail procedure
Latah Detention Pages
Use Latah’s Moscow jail rules only after the person’s current housing has been confirmed under the Latah facility.
State custody / supervision
Idaho DOC Resident/Client Search
Use IDOC after a transfer or sentence, or when the person may be under Idaho prison, probation or parole jurisdiction.
Federal custody
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Use BOP only when the case, hold or transfer points to federal custody. A federal hold at a county jail does not guarantee immediate appearance in BOP’s public locator.
How to Search the Latah County Jail Roster Safely
Open Latah County Sheriff First
Start from the Sheriff’s current site rather than an old screenshot, third-party mugshot directory or cached people-search page.
Use the Current Jail Roster Link
The Sheriff’s current Jail Roster link goes to Nez Perce County’s In Custody report. Reopen it from the Sheriff page when possible so you do not rely on an outdated saved route.
Search the Legal Name Carefully
Try the legal surname first. If the person is missing, check a maiden or former surname, hyphenated spelling, middle-name variation or another known legal spelling.
Remember the Public Report Can Lag
Nez Perce County says its database is updated every 24 hours and reports are updated Monday through Thursday, with weekend and holiday information included on Monday.
Confirm the Physical Holding Facility
Before visiting, mailing, depositing money or arranging pickup, ask which facility actually holds the person. The roster-link destination alone is not enough to choose facility-specific rules.
Move Legal Questions to the Court
Use Idaho iCourt and Latah District Court for the filed case, hearing, court order or legal outcome. A jail result is not the full court record.
How Current Is the Linked Custody Information?
Nez Perce County says its public database is updated every 24 hours. Reports are updated Monday through Thursday, with weekend and holiday information included on Monday. The county tells users to confirm current status in person or by telephone at 208-799-3132.
| Situation | Why the web result may be behind | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Very recent arrest | Transport, intake or booking may still be underway. | Call when immediate custody matters. |
| Bond was just posted | Payment and release processing can occur before the next report. | Confirm physical release before pickup. |
| Judge changed bond | Court and custody systems may update at different times. | Verify with court and jail. |
| Transfer occurred | Sending and receiving systems can update separately. | Ask which facility accepted custody. |
Latah County Jail in Moscow vs. the Linked Nez Perce Detention Center
Latah County still operates and publishes information for its jail in the basement of the Latah County Courthouse. At the same time, its current Sheriff page routes Jail Roster users to Nez Perce County. Housing confirmation is therefore essential before choosing a mailing address, visitation schedule, commissary provider or release entrance.
| If housing is confirmed at… | Use these rules | Do not mix in |
|---|---|---|
| Latah County Jail, Moscow | Latah bond, GettingOut, Moscow mail, local visitation and Sixth Street release instructions. | Nez Perce mail, InmateSales or Smart Deposit without confirmation. |
| Nez Perce Adult Detention Center, Lewiston | Nez Perce remote visitation, current scan-mail routing and Smart Deposit. | Moscow Suite 99 mail or Latah’s local visit schedule. |
| Another facility | Use the receiving facility’s current rules. | Either county’s provider solely because the arrest started in Latah. |
Latah County Jail, Moscow
The county says the jail was built in 1972 and holds adults awaiting trial, serving local jail time, awaiting IDOC transport or held for other agencies. The county Detention page lists a maximum holding capacity of 38.
The Idaho Sheriffs’ Association directory separately lists a rated capacity of 42. Because the published figures differ, neither number should be treated as a live inmate count.
Nez Perce Adult Detention Center, Lewiston
The linked facility is at 1150 Wall Street, Lewiston. Current custody is confirmed at 208-799-3132. Friends-and-family visitation is remote through InmateSales, and standard mail routing changed effective November 1, 2025.
Use Idaho iCourt for the Case Behind the Booking
The Idaho Judicial Branch identifies mycourts.idaho.gov as the public iCourt Portal for general state trial-court case information. For an actual case record, certified copy, hearing confirmation or deadline-sensitive question, contact the clerk where the case was filed.
Latah County District Court
Address: 522 S. Adams St., Suite 119, Moscow, ID 83843
Phone: 208-883-2255
Fax: 208-883-2259
Mon & Wed: 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Tue, Thu & Fri: 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
District vs. Magistrate
Latah County is in Idaho’s Second Judicial District. The Magistrate Division handles matters including misdemeanors, infractions and felony probable-cause/preliminary hearings. Use the actual case record rather than guessing the court level from the jail entry.
Latah County Bond and Release Instructions
Latah County’s still-live posting-bond page says a payer brings the bail amount to the Court Clerk’s Office during court hours, receives a receipt, and takes that receipt to the Sheriff’s Office. After court hours, bond can be posted at the front window of the Sheriff’s Office.
Published After-Hours Fee
The county lists a separate $10 processing fee for bonding someone out after court closes or on weekends. It must be separate from the bond.
Call first because the same page describes release from the Moscow jail’s Sixth Street entrance.
Published Processing Estimate
Latah County says booking can take about 30 minutes to one hour and bond paperwork/release about another 30 minutes. Staff workload or other problems can make the process much longer.
This is not a guaranteed release time.
- Confirm the full legal name.
- Confirm the current physical jail.
- Get the court case number.
- Confirm current bond and type.
- Ask about every hold or warrant.
- Confirm the payment office.
- Ask whether the $10 fee applies.
- Confirm the release location before pickup.
Verify Visitation by Housing Location Before You Travel
If Housed at Latah Jail in Moscow
The Detention/Visiting page publishes appointment-only, 20-minute, non-contact visits:
- Wednesday: 6:30–9:00 p.m.
- Saturday: 8:00–10:30 a.m. and 12:30–4:30 p.m.
- Sunday: 1:00–4:00 p.m.
The Sheriff FAQ separately lists only Saturday and Sunday, 1:00–4:00 p.m., and the Sheriff homepage says to contact the office for scheduled times. Call 208-882-2216 before travel.
If Housed at Nez Perce in Lewiston
Nez Perce says it no longer facilitates ordinary on-site friends-and-family visitation. Visitors use InmateSales for remote visits; inmates are allowed video visitation seven days a week between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
Published Latah Visitor Restrictions
- Appointment required.
- Adults need valid picture ID.
- Minors must be with a parent or legal guardian.
- Visits are non-contact under the local published rule.
- Someone incarcerated in the previous 30 days is not eligible under the published rule.
- A visitor on probation needs prior probation-officer approval.
Latah visiting information · Nez Perce detention / visitation
Phone Calls, Tablets, Commissary and Inmate Funds
Latah / Moscow Published System
Latah says inmates have telephones and tablets. Its Contacting Inmates page describes outgoing collect calls and identifies Telmate / GettingOut.
- GettingOut / Telmate: 1-866-516-0115
- Lobby kiosk
- Money order by mail payable to inmate
- No personal checks
- Calling the jail does not connect directly to an inmate
Nez Perce / Lewiston Commissary
The official Nez Perce page uses Smart Deposit and requires the inmate’s name and Name Number, with the facility selected as Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center.
Smart Deposit: 1-866-394-0490. The county says major credit or debit cards are accepted.
Confirm Housing Before Addressing Inmate Mail
Latah County Jail Mail
Inmate’s Name
Latah County Detention Center
522 S. Adams St.
Suite 99
Moscow, ID 83843
Use this only when Latah housing is confirmed. Latah prohibits contraband, paper clips, rubber bands, binder clips, stickers, food, medication and certain sexually explicit material. Soft-bound books must come directly from a bookstore and may not be altered.
Nez Perce Friends-and-Family Mail
Effective November 1, 2025, standard non-legal mail is:
[Inmate Name – Inmate ID]
Nez Perce County Jail ID
PO Box 76550
Highland Heights, KY 41076
Nez Perce says mail received at old addresses after January 1, 2026 will be rejected. Legal-representation mail uses the Lewiston facility address.
Nez Perce’s current page requires inmate name, inmate ID and return address, limits mail to scan-compatible material, and prohibits cash, checks, stamps, blank envelopes, stationery and books in ordinary correspondence. Up to 10 photographs per package are allowed when printed on photo paper.
Latah’s mail page separately says cross-jail correspondence requires prior approval from both facilities and is limited to immediate family or people who have a child in common.
Medical Care, Recreation and Programs at the Moscow Jail
Latah County says medical staff come into the jail twice a week for sick call; people who need services that cannot be provided there, such as dental care, eye exams, lab work or X-rays, are taken to a local provider. Jail staff also dispense medication.
Library / Recreation
The page says inmates receive one hour per day in the library, recreation yard or a combination, subject to operations.
Programs
Published programs include Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, church services and GED programming.
Medication / Property
The Sheriff’s Office will not accept property, mail or medications brought in without prior authorization by the Jail Commander.
These details describe the Latah facility and should not be assumed to apply at Nez Perce or another jail.
How to Request a Latah Sheriff Record or Booking Photo
Latah County says police and accident report requests must be made in writing. Current or ongoing investigations may not be releasable until closed, criminal-charge records may be available through the prosecutor/discovery process, and complex or incomplete requests can take up to 10 working days.
Records Office
Latah County Sheriff’s Office Records
522 S. Adams St., Moscow, ID 83843
Records: 208-883-2266
Sheriff: 208-882-2216
Mon–Thu: 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Friday: 7:00–11:00 a.m.
Booking Photo / Mugshot
Do not rely on an old commercial mugshot page to establish current custody. Request a specific existing booking photograph from the agency that maintains the booking or arrest record and let that agency determine whether it is releasable.
Latah Sheriff says it cannot release records belonging to another agency.
Latah County PREA and Urgent Safety Reporting
Latah County Jail states that it has zero tolerance for sexual abuse and sexual harassment and accepts reports from victims, third parties and anonymous reporters.
Latah Jail Report
Call 208-883-5705 and ask for a supervisor. Written complaints can be addressed to Latah County Sheriff’s Office, Attn: Sheriff, P.O. Box 8068, Moscow, ID 83843.
Outside Anonymous Route
Latah’s PREA page identifies Nez Perce County Adult Detention Facility at 208-799-3139 as an outside reporting agency.
What to Do When the Name Is Missing
The arrest was very recent
Possible explanation: transport, booking or the 24-hour linked report cycle may not yet show the person.
Next action: call the responsible agency or current facility when immediate custody matters.
The person was booked in Latah County but is not on the linked Nez Perce list
Possible explanation: the person may be housed at the Moscow Latah facility, another holding facility, or may have been released.
Next action: call Latah Sheriff at 208-882-2216 and ask which facility currently holds the person.
The person was listed and then disappeared
Possible explanation: release, transfer, court action or movement to IDOC/federal custody can change the list.
Next action: check iCourt and then the next custody system indicated by the case.
A court case exists but no jail result appears
Possible explanation: a case can continue after release or without current jail incarceration.
Next action: use iCourt and the Latah clerk.
A warrant may exist but there is no jail result
Possible explanation: a warrant can exist before arrest.
Next action: verify through the court or responsible law-enforcement agency. Do not confront or detain anyone yourself.
The person may have transferred to state or federal custody
Possible explanation: sentencing, revocation, federal proceedings or transport can move someone outside county jail.
Next action: use IDOC or BOP only when facts support that route.
Idaho DOC and Federal Custody Searches
Idaho Department of Correction
IDOC Resident/Client Search covers people under IDOC jurisdiction, including incarceration, probation and parole. It accepts a last name or IDOC number and supports partial searches under the rules shown on the page.
IDOC says its database is updated daily but may still lag behind location or status changes.
Federal Bureau of Prisons
BOP’s locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present and is updated daily. A person shown as released or not in BOP custody may still be in another criminal-justice system or on supervision.
A Latah Jail Roster Is Not a Statewide Idaho Criminal-History Check
Latah Sheriff directs statewide criminal-history requests to the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification. A county custody list and statewide BCI history serve different purposes.
| Idaho BCI service | Current published fee | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Name-based criminal history | $20 | Aliases and false dates of birth can reduce accuracy. |
| Fingerprint-based criminal history | $25 | Requires a fingerprint-based submission. |
| Fingerprint rolling | $10 first card | Separate from criminal-history processing; rules allow up to $5 per additional copy. |

Use Latah County Booking Information Carefully
- An arrest is not a conviction.
- A custody listing is not a complete criminal-history report.
- A booking photograph does not prove guilt.
- A case can continue after jail release.
- The linked report can lag behind status changes.
- Do not assume a facility from the arresting county alone.
- Do not use an old screenshot as current-custody evidence.
- Do not use public jail data to harass, threaten, stalk or shame anyone.
- Do not expose protected juvenile, victim or medical information.
- Do not treat this site or a roster as an FCRA consumer report for employment, housing, credit or insurance decisions.
Latah County Jail Roster FAQs
Where should I start a Latah County jail roster search?
Start on the current Latah County Sheriff’s Office page. Its Jail Roster link currently routes to the Nez Perce County In Custody report. Confirm physical housing before using facility-specific mail, visitation, money or release instructions.
How current is the roster linked by Latah County?
Nez Perce County says its public in-custody database is updated every 24 hours, with reports updated Monday through Thursday and weekend or holiday information included on Monday. For current status, call 208-799-3132.
Does Latah County still have a jail in Moscow?
Yes. Latah County still publishes a Detention page for its adult jail in the basement of the Latah County Courthouse in Moscow. Because the Sheriff’s current Jail Roster link goes to Nez Perce County, confirm where the person is physically housed before using either facility’s rules.
Why do Latah County visitation pages show different hours?
Latah County’s Detention/Visiting page publishes Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday windows, while the Sheriff FAQ lists only Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and the Sheriff homepage says to contact the office for scheduled times. Call 208-882-2216 before travelling.
How do I post bond on a Latah County matter?
Latah County’s published local procedure directs payment through the Court Clerk during court hours and allows after-hours bond at the Sheriff’s front window, with a separate $10 after-hours/weekend processing fee. Confirm that the person is physically subject to this Latah release procedure before paying.
Where do I send inmate mail?
Confirm the holding facility first. Latah publishes a Moscow address at 522 S. Adams St., Suite 99, while Nez Perce now routes standard friends-and-family mail through a Highland Heights, Kentucky address. Using the wrong facility’s address can cause rejection.
Does the Latah County jail roster provide mugshots?
Do not rely on a third-party mugshot site for current custody or legal status. If you need a specific existing booking photograph, request it from the agency that maintains the booking or arrest record and let that agency determine whether it is releasable.
How do I request a Latah County Sheriff report?
Requests for Latah Sheriff police or accident reports must be made in writing. The Records Office says complex or incomplete requests can take up to 10 working days and that it cannot release another agency’s records.
How do I find someone transferred to Idaho state custody?
Use the Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search when a transfer, sentence, probation or parole status points to IDOC jurisdiction. IDOC says its public database is updated daily but can still lag behind fast-changing status or location information.
Is the Latah County jail roster a statewide Idaho background check?
No. Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification maintains the statewide criminal-history repository. The current published fee is $20 for a name-based Idaho criminal history and $25 for a fingerprint-based criminal history.
