Find the Stevens County Jail Roster and Read the Daily Booking Snapshot Correctly
This page covers Stevens County, Washington. The Stevens County Sheriff’s Jail publishes its inmate roster as a daily PDF rather than a continuously updating search screen, so the report time matters when you are checking a new arrest, release, bond or transfer.
Quick Answer: This Is the Stevens County, Washington Jail Roster
The official roster for the Stevens County Sheriff’s Jail in Colville is published on the county government website. The jail office is at the Stevens County Courthouse complex, 215 S Oak Street, Colville, and the published jail number is 509-684-4707.
The roster is a daily PDF. Stevens County says it is generated at about 4 a.m. and posted once each day between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. A person booked after the 4 a.m. cutoff will not appear in that day’s report, so a missing name can simply mean the public PDF has not reached that booking yet.
The Roster Is a Daily Snapshot, Not a Live Feed
This timing detail is the most important difference between the Stevens County roster and many other county jail lookups. The report does not continuously absorb new bookings throughout the day.
If an arrest happened after 4 a.m., do not conclude the person was released or taken somewhere else just because the current PDF is blank. Call the jail or check again after the next daily report is posted.

BOP Inmate LocatorHow to Check the Stevens County Jail Roster
- Open the official county roster page. Use the Stevens County government page rather than a copied booking directory or an old screenshot.
- Open the newest dated PDF. Confirm the report date before searching a name.
- Use your PDF viewer’s Find function. Search the legal surname first, then try spelling variations, maiden or former surnames, and hyphenated versions when appropriate.
- Compare more than the name. Use every identifying and booking detail displayed in the PDF before deciding you found the correct person.
- Note the report cutoff. If the arrest happened after about 4 a.m., the booking may not be in that day’s PDF.
- Verify before taking action. Call the jail and use the correct court record before paying bond, making travel plans or treating a roster entry as a final legal result.
On a computer, Ctrl+F or Command+F normally searches readable PDF text. On a phone, use the PDF viewer’s Find or Search option. If the document does not search correctly, scan its entries manually or call the jail.
What a Jail Roster Can—and Cannot—Confirm
| Information | What it helps establish | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Name / inmate identifier | Helps match the person to the county jail record. | A court case number, DOC number or final criminal-history identity by itself. |
| Booking / custody date | Helps place the jail record in time. | The exact arrest time, charging decision or court outcome. |
| Charge / hold wording | Shows how the jail record describes the basis for custody at the report time. | Conviction, guilt or the final charge filed by a prosecutor. |
| Bail / bond information | Can help identify a current financial release condition if shown. | That no other hold exists or that payment guarantees immediate release. |
| Scheduled release information | May provide a planned or system-entered date if the current roster displays one. | That release has physically occurred or cannot change. |
The exact columns are controlled by the county’s current PDF. Use the live county report rather than a third-party reproduction when a field matters.

Bond, Warrants and the Correct Stevens County Court
The jail roster and court system answer different questions. Use the roster for the published county-jail custody snapshot; use District or Superior Court for case, warrant, hearing and court-order information.
| Office | Use it for | Verified contact |
|---|---|---|
| Stevens County District Court | District Court criminal matters, first appearances, misdemeanor-level matters within its jurisdiction and District Court bench-warrant questions. | 215 S Oak St, Colville • 509-684-5249 • Mon–Fri 8:30–11 a.m. and 1–3 p.m. |
| Stevens County Superior Court | Superior Court criminal matters within the Tri-County Judicial District. | 215 S Oak St, Room 209 • 509-684-7527 • Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. |
| Stevens County Clerk | Superior Court records, copies and Superior Court bond procedures handled through the Clerk. | 215 S Oak St, Room 206 • 509-684-7575 • public window 8:30–11 a.m. and 1–3 p.m. |
Superior Court bond payment rule
The Stevens County Clerk states that, effective September 16, 2024, its office accepts cash only when someone posts the full bond directly with the Clerk. Paper bonds through a surety or bond agency remain acceptable. Before taking cash to the courthouse, confirm the active case, current amount and whether another hold or court controls release.
Warrant check
The Sheriff’s FAQ directs warrant questions to the courts rather than a Sheriff-run public warrant database: Superior Court at 509-684-7575 and District Court at 509-684-5249. District Court says a person with a bench warrant for failure to appear or failure to comply must appear in person at the District Court office and should have the ticket number available when asking about a specific case.
Another case, hold, warrant or processing step can affect release. Confirm actual custody with the jail before arranging transportation or assuming the person has left the facility.
Stevens County Jail Visitation Is Video-Based for General Visitors
The jail states there is no general in-facility visitation. General visits are by video. In-person visits can be arranged for attorneys, clergy and medical or mental-health officials.
Inmates must have been arraigned or received a first appearance and cannot be housed in disciplinary segregation. Visits remain subject to jail approval.
The inmate requests visitors through the kiosk. Visitors are checked for no-contact orders. Invalid or expired identification and a no-contact order can cause denial.
The county directs visitors to InmateSales. A 30-minute slot must be selected at least 24 hours in advance and must fall within the inmate’s scheduled out-time.
The official page tells visitors to report to the jail visitation kiosk or log in on their device 15 minutes before the visit. Late or missed time is not made up.
Housing-wing visitation days published by the jail
| Housing wing | Day | Published rotations |
|---|---|---|
| South Wing | Friday | 7–11 a.m.; 11 a.m.–3 p.m.; 3–7 p.m.; 7–10:30 p.m. |
| North Wing | Saturday | 7–11 a.m.; 11 a.m.–3 p.m.; 3–7 p.m.; 7–10:30 p.m. |
| West Wing | Sunday | 7–11 a.m.; 11 a.m.–3 p.m.; 3–7 p.m.; 7–10:30 p.m. |
Off-site video visitation is also available for eligible inmates during their scheduled out-time for a fee. The jail states that video visits are recorded and subject to monitoring.
The current visitation page routes registration through InmateSales, while some technical-support wording still references VisiTel. Use the live county visitation page and the current InmateSales registration route before paying or troubleshooting an account.
Phone Calls, Email and Inmate Communication Accounts
Stevens County says inmate calls must be initiated by the inmate. You cannot place a telephone call directly to an inmate, and jail staff will not deliver personal messages.
The current inmate-phone page directs friends and family to InmateSales or the Friends and Family Helpline at 702-829-3001. Inmates can also move funds from Inmate Canteen to their phone account.
The jail currently lists local, in-state toll or long-distance and out-of-state calls at $0.09 per minute plus taxes. Verify the account screen before adding funds because rates can change.
Outside email users register through InmateSales and must be approved. The county requires a legible state ID or driver-license image and a current unaltered photo.
Approval can be denied for a no-contact order, participation in the alleged criminal activity, age under 18, inability to verify identity, security concerns, explicit material or inmate-to-inmate email through a third party.
The jail’s main communications page says Stevens County partners with CPC Fusion and provides InmateSales routes for supported communication services. Ordinary jail calls, video visits and electronic messages should be treated as monitored unless the facility specifically states otherwise.
Mail, Commissary, Clothing and Medication Rules
Inmate mail address
[Inmate’s Name]
P.O. Box 186
Colville, WA 99114
The jail prohibits a substantial list of items in personal mail. Important examples include stamps; blank paper, envelopes and pens; scented, glued or glittered items; string or ribbon; pop-up cards; plastic, laminated or metal items; cardstock; Polaroid pictures; sexually explicit material; food; tobacco; inmate-to-inmate mail; and personal or payroll checks.
Books, magazines and newspapers must be sent directly from the publisher, a book club or a recognized internet bookseller. Used books and hardbound books are not allowed under the published jail rules.
Deposits and commissary
The Inmate Service List says money can be placed on an inmate account through Inmate Canteen, and money orders are accepted by mail. Personal checks are not accepted.
The inmate-mail page separately states that money is accepted through an ATM kiosk in the vestibule or online through InmateSales, while mailed money orders remain accepted.
Because the county’s current pages describe overlapping deposit channels, call the Jail Office at 509-684-4707 if you need to know which method is currently preferred for the inmate’s account.
Clothing change effective March 20, 2025
The jail says it no longer accepts Amazon or Walmart.com clothing orders. Authorized clothing can instead be ordered through Inmate Canteen. Published limits are one set of long johns, three pairs of boxer-style underwear and three pairs of socks; excess items are placed in inmate property.
Outside prescription medication
If current prescribed medication was not brought in during arrest, the jail says it will accept that medication at the jail at any time. Over-the-counter medication is not accepted under this rule. For an urgent medical or safety emergency, use emergency channels rather than routine mail or inmate-account procedures.
Booking Records, Court Records and Public Records Are Separate
A jail roster entry is not the same record as a Sheriff incident report or a court file. Send the request to the office that maintains the record you actually need.
| Record needed | Best starting office | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Current jail custody snapshot | Stevens County Jail roster / Jail Office | The daily PDF is the county’s published inmate roster. |
| County or Sheriff public record | Stevens County Public Records Office | The county processes identifiable non-exempt public records under RCW 42.56. |
| Superior Court case record | Stevens County Clerk | The County Clerk is Clerk of Superior Court and maintains Superior Court files. |
| District Court matter | Stevens County District Court | District Court maintains its own case and administrative records. |
| State-prison custody | Washington DOC | DOC is the appropriate source after transfer into state correctional custody. |
County public-record requests
The Public Records Office lists 509-684-7509 for questions and states that Washington’s Public Records Act, RCW 42.56, governs access to identifiable non-exempt county records. Its published hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and Friday, 8 a.m.–2 p.m.
Superior Court copies
The County Clerk asks requesters to provide a complete case number when possible, or at least one party name plus a description of the record. The office currently lists electronic copies at 25¢ per page, physical copies at 50¢ per page, certified copies at $5 for the first page of each document plus $1 for each additional page, and exemplified copies at the certified-copy cost plus $4 for two additional court seals.
Those Clerk fees apply to the Superior Court copy service described by the Clerk. Do not automatically apply them to Sheriff or general county public-record requests, which use a separate process and fee schedule.
If the Person Leaves Stevens County Jail
Search by first name, last name or DOC number. DOC warns that custody information can change and should be verified before relying on it.
Open DOC searchUse only when the arrest, transfer or court information specifically points to Spokane County or Geiger Corrections.

Use Stevens County Booking Information Responsibly
- An arrest, roster listing or charge is not proof of guilt.
- A warrant does not prove a person is currently in the Stevens County Jail.
- The daily roster can be stale for same-day arrests because of the 4 a.m. report cutoff.
- A scheduled release date is not confirmation that release has occurred.
- Do not use jail or court information to harass, threaten, shame, stalk or evade a no-contact order.
- For legal reliance, verify the current court record or obtain appropriate professional legal advice.
