Bonner County Inmate Roster
The Bonner County Sheriff's Detention Center is the local jail source for inmate records. The sheriff site publishes a downloadable most recent jail inmate roster and a current inmate offense list PDF. The research found no official interactive name-search form on the Bonner sheriff page, so the public local inmate lookup is a roster document rather than a searchable profile portal. For booking information, the detention source gives 208-263-8417 ext. 3005. Non-emergency dispatch is 208-265-5525.
The detention center opened in 1998 and has a holding capacity of 124 prisoners. It includes two pods with lock-down cells, dorm-style cells, high-security cells, a medical observation cell, female dorms, a work-release dorm, and holding cells. The average daily population is about 85 inmates. Deputies handle care and custody, meals, housing assignments, medication distribution, prisoner transport, mail, commissary, and housing searches.
Use the Bonner County Jail Roster
The county jail roster should be read as a current custody and offense snapshot. It may show arrest and bond details, but it does not replace the court docket, sentencing order, or final disposition. For the filed case and outcome, use iCourt or Court Operations after locating the related case number.
- Open the Bonner County Sheriff's Detention Center page and select the current jail roster or inmate offense list.
- Search within the PDF or review names manually because the official local source is not an interactive form.
- Compare the name, incarceration date, offense description, related case number, and remaining bond due.
- Call the booking information line when the record needs current confirmation.
- Use iCourt for the criminal case record, hearing history, disposition, and sentence if the roster lists a related case.
The detention source appears at Bonner County Sheriff's Detention Center. Use that official source for the local roster link, jail services, bond references, and current detention notices.
Bonner County Inmate Search Fields
Because the local public roster is a PDF, the official Bonner County inmate search fields are not typed into a web form. The practical "search fields" are the visible roster fields and the PDF text search a reader can use in the browser or PDF viewer. The statewide IDOC search has its own form fields for people under state correctional jurisdiction.
| Field or Control | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDF name search | Browser/PDF find | No | Search by last name or review the roster manually. |
| Inmate name | Roster field | Visible when listed | Displayed as last, first, and middle initial or name. |
| Related case | Roster field | Visible when listed | Use the case/reference number to search court records. |
| Remaining bond due | Roster field | Visible when listed | May show 0.00 or a dollar amount. |
| IDOC number | State form field | Alternative to last name | For state custody, probation, or parole records, not county jail custody. |
Bonner County Inmate Record Fields
The current inmate offense list gives a practical field inventory for Bonner County inmate records. The text-extracted sample did not show mugshots, housing pod, or court date fields. That absence matters because the public roster should not be oversold as a full booking profile or a full criminal-history report.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Inmate name, generally last name followed by first and middle information. |
| Incarceration date | The date and time the person was booked or entered custody. |
| Scheduled release | A release date or placeholder when no date is shown. |
| Arrest type | Roster code examples include VIEW, TAKE, and SENT. |
| Arresting agency | The agency tied to the arrest, often Bonner County Sheriff's Office. |
| Arresting officer | Officer surname or initial where listed. |
| Arrest location | The address or location tied to the arrest event. |
| Arrest date | Date and time per offense line. |
| Offense description | The listed offense, such as probation violation, fail to appear, controlled substance, or DUI. |
| Related case | Case or reference number that may connect to iCourt. |
| Remaining bond due | Bond amount remaining, including zero or higher dollar amounts. |
Bonner County Jail Contact
The main local jail facility is operated by the Bonner County Sheriff's Office. The same sheriff office also has a Priest River substation, but the researched detention records and roster source point to the Sandpoint jail. The jail contact should be used for current booking, custody, and inmate-service questions. Court case documents and dispositions should go to Court Operations.

Bonner Inmate Bonds and Warrants
Bonner County inmate records may show remaining bond due. The sheriff warrant page directs people with outstanding warrants to Bonner County Dispatch or to the Sheriff's Office at 4001 N. Boyer Road. The detention FAQ says Bonner works with CitePayUSA for citation payments or posting bond from home. Bond status should still be confirmed because court orders, jail booking, and online lists can update at different times.
Warrant records are related but separate. The sheriff warrant list shows active traffic and criminal warrants in misdemeanor and felony sections and excludes juvenile offenders. A person who is in custody may also have court entries in iCourt that explain the underlying case, warrant, bond, and next hearing.
Bonner County Jail Visitation Rules
Bonner County's detention and FAQ material says visits are video visits. The official pages include some vendor inconsistency: the detention page says current communication services are provided by CTEL and points to inmatesales.com or 1-877-998-5678, while warrant-page FAQ text references Telmate and gettingout.com. The jail should be contacted before money is spent or a visit is scheduled.
| Rule | Official Detail Found | Practical Note |
|---|---|---|
| Format | All visits are video visits; onsite lobby and remote video are referenced. | Confirm current vendor before scheduling. |
| Length | Visits may be limited to 30 minutes. | Plan around the jail's current visit block. |
| Minimum opportunity | Each inmate, unless discipline-restricted, should have at least one hour weekly. | May be one or two visits. |
| Free onsite visits | Telmate text says two onsite 30-minute visits per week are free. | Unused free visits do not carry over. |
| Paid visits | Additional onsite visits are listed by minute rate in 30-minute blocks. | Rates and vendor should be verified with the jail. |
| Arrival | Arrive 5 to 10 minutes before an onsite scheduled visit. | Picture ID is required. |
| Minors | Minors must be with a parent or legal guardian. | Minors may not register for visitation. |
| Conduct | No cell phones, food, drink, nudity, threats, drug use, gang symbols, or prohibited behavior. | Violations may end visitation access. |
The official material did not provide a day-by-day public calendar. It did provide the weekly minimum, free onsite-visit language, scheduling channels, and arrival rule.
| Schedule Item | Timing Found | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum weekly access | At least one hour per week unless discipline-restricted | May be one or two visits. |
| Free onsite visits | Two 30-minute onsite visits weekly in Telmate text | First 15 onsite visitors per inmate per week; unused visits do not carry over. |
| Paid visit blocks | 30-minute blocks listed | Minute rates and vendor should be verified with the jail. |
| Arrival window | 5 to 10 minutes before scheduled onsite visit | Picture ID required and visitors may be checked for warrants. |
Contact Bonner County Inmates
Inmates cannot receive incoming calls. They call out only. The FAQ says phones in cells are on from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Personal calls are recorded and subject to review, while attorney calls are not recorded. Account setup can be done at the jail lobby kiosk, through inmatesales.com, or by calling 1-877-998-5678 according to the detention source. Other official text references Telmate and gettingout.com, so current vendor details should be confirmed with the jail.
The communication vendor source for inmate accounts is InmateSales.
The vendor source supports communication setup, but the jail's current instructions should control before deposits or visits are scheduled.
Mail should be addressed to the inmate's full name at Bonner County Detention Facility, 4001 N. Boyer Road, Sandpoint, Idaho 83864. Money orders may be mailed to the inmate, but cash and personal checks are not accepted. Soft-bound books must be mailed directly from the publisher. Photos may not be larger than 4 by 6 inches and may not be Polaroid.
State and Federal Inmate Records
When a person is not in the Bonner County jail, the next step depends on custody status. The Idaho Department of Correction resident/client search covers people under IDOC jurisdiction, including prison, probation, and parole. Last name or IDOC number is required. Partial searches are allowed with at least the first two characters of the last name or first three digits of the IDOC number. The database updates daily, but it may not reflect current location, status, scheduled termination date, or mailing address at once.
IDOC is the right source for state custody, probation, and parole records, not for a same-day Bonner County jail booking question.
Federal custody is separate from both Bonner County and IDOC. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is used for people in federal custody.
The federal locator helps when a case is federal or a person has moved into federal prison custody.
Bonner County Registry Searches
Idaho State Police sex offender registry searches are related law-enforcement records, not jail roster records. The registry has name, city, county, zip, and map search options. Name search fields include last name, first name, city, county, and adult or juvenile database selection. The last name is required for the name search, and adult and juvenile databases are searched one at a time. Results display 15 offenders per page.
The registry name search source appears at Idaho State Police sex offender registry name search.
The name search can help identify registry records, but it does not show current Bonner County jail custody.
The county-search source appears at Idaho State Police sex offender registry county search.
The county search is useful for Bonner County registry review, while the jail roster remains the local custody source.
Bonner County Inmate Records Requests
For sheriff records not shown in the roster, Bonner County's public records page gives department-specific request channels and cites Idaho Code 74-102. The research source lists the Sheriff's Office at 4001 North Boyer Road, Sandpoint, with sheriff records email variants found on official pages. If a request is about a court case document, route it to Court Operations rather than sheriff records. If the request is administrative and the department is unclear, the county public-records page says the Commissioners' Office can route it.
Jail records may be limited by active investigation, safety, juvenile status, sealed court orders, medical privacy, or protected personal identifiers. A roster entry also may not show every detail a family member wants, such as housing pod or court date. For court dates and case events, use iCourt or the court clerk.
Note: A roster entry is a custody record, not proof that a charge ended in conviction.
