Check Daggett County Jail Records

Daggett County Jail Status

Daggett County Jail is a closed county jail operated historically by the Daggett County Sheriff's Office. The official Daggett County Jail page says the jail closed in February 2017 and does not appear likely to reopen. It also directs all jail inquiries to the sheriff's department at 435-784-3255. That official status controls how this facility page should be read.

The closed status means Daggett County Jail should not be treated like an active booking facility with live inmate housing, public mugshot cards, commissary deposits, inmate mail, or visitor schedules. The facility remains important because it is the county jail named in official sources and the place tied to historical population counts, old jail records, public-record requests, and the 2017 closure history.

The county jail closure is visible in the official page screenshot captured from the Daggett County Jail page.

Because the facility is closed, current custody questions should begin with the sheriff and then move to the court, UDC, VINE, BOP, or ICE channel that fits the record.

Daggett County Jail Population

The current Daggett County Jail population is not an active jail census. The county jail is closed, so the current operating population is zero in the practical roster sense. Historical sources describe the facility as an 80-bed jail and document the 2017 transfer of 80 state inmates during the Utah Department of Corrections investigation. A Census 2020 correctional-population vintage table listed 75 local prisoners for Daggett Co. Jail with a December 31, 2013 survey date.

Those numbers should not be mixed with current custody. The 75-prisoner count is historical. The 80-inmate transfer figure was tied to state contract inmates and the closure period. No official county source located a current average daily population, current booking count, or current housing contract for Daggett County Jail after closure.

Look Up Daggett County Jail Records

There is no official Daggett County Jail roster search form. A current lookup must be routed by custody type. For a local arrest, police report, incident report, or historical jail question, call or visit the Daggett County Sheriff's Office. For filed charges after an arrest, use Utah Courts Xchange, MyCase if the searcher is a party, or the local Daggett courts. For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Utah Department of Corrections locator. For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE.

1. Call the Daggett County Sheriff's Office at 435-784-3255 for jail inquiries and local custody routing.
2. Use the sheriff's report request form for local police reports, arrest reports, incident records, or releasable photos.
3. Use Daggett County GRAMA when the request needs formal county open-records handling.
4. Search Utah Courts Xchange for filed charges, hearings, judgments, and outcomes.
5. Search UDC Offender Search only for people under state corrections custody or supervision.
6. Use BOP or ICE ODLS when the custody is federal or immigration-related.

Daggett County Jail Contact

Daggett County jail inquiries use the sheriff's office contact information. The official sheriff directory lists the physical address, main phone, fax, dispatch number, staff, and public office hours. Dispatch through Vernal is a public-safety routing detail, not a records substitute. For a records request or custody question, start with the sheriff's main line unless there is an emergency.

Daggett County Jail Records Requests

The sheriff's Request for Police Report form is the clearest local route for jail-adjacent records such as incident reports, arrest reports, and releasable photos. The form asks for requester name, address, day telephone number, incident or case report number if known, detailed incident facts, and the requester's relationship to the subject of the record. It allows copies or inspection.

The form lists a $20 fee for the initial police report and $1 per photo, with no charge to view or inspect a record. It says a person can come into the Sheriff's Office to fill out a request and receive the report the same day, or submit by mail with a check. That same-day language belongs to the police-report request process. It should not be treated as a promise for every jail record, current custody question, sealed record, or restricted record.

Visiting Daggett County Jail

No current Daggett County Jail visitation schedule was located because the facility is closed. Do not rely on old third-party hours, pre-closure visiting windows, or generic jail pages that describe live housing. If a person arrested in Daggett County is held elsewhere, the holding facility's own rules control visits, video visits, identification, clothing, mail, property, attorney contact, and release planning.

For sentenced Utah state prisoners, use UDC visitation instructions instead of Daggett County jail visiting instructions. UDC visitation requires facility-specific approval and scheduling. ICE also advises visitors to contact detention facilities to confirm current hours and restrictions before travel.

Daggett County Jail Mail and Money

Daggett County Jail has no current inmate mail format, commissary vendor, tablet provider, phone vendor, or money-deposit process in the official sources reviewed. Records mail should go to the sheriff's Records Department. Inmate mail and deposits should follow the current holding facility once the sheriff confirms where a person is held.

For UDC prisoners, the Utah Department of Corrections financial account management page lists online transactions with a $6.95 fee, visiting-area kiosks, a $3 cash kiosk fee, and a $3.95 debit or credit kiosk fee. UDC deposits require the incarcerated person's full name and offender number. County booking numbers do not replace the UDC offender number.

Daggett County Jail Booking

Daggett County has arrest and booking-related records even though the jail is closed. A typical arrest can produce law-enforcement records, incident details, identity information, a booking photo, fingerprints, property records, and arrest allegations. Current detention or transport arrangements were not published on the official jail page, so do not assume booking happens at a Daggett jail counter.

The court path remains active. A prosecutor may review a sheriff report and file charges, and those charges may appear through the Justice Court, 8th District Court, Xchange, or MyCase. Arrest allegations can differ from filed court charges. Release from custody also does not end the court case.

For more detail on the county-wide lookup path, the Daggett County jail inmate records page separates local sheriff records from state, federal, and court systems.

Daggett County Jail History

Daggett County Jail was historically tied to Utah's state inmate placement and county jail contracting system. The Utah Department of Corrections moved 80 state inmates from the jail in February 2017 during an investigation. The Utah Attorney General later announced charges against the former sheriff and several deputies, saying allegations and policy violations led to removal of all Utah state inmates from the facility.

Older Utah Legislative Auditor material discussed security concerns in the state's jail contracting program, including Daggett jail context before escapes in 2004 and 2007. These official sources explain why the county jail is an important records topic, but they should not be read as current jail conditions. The current operating fact is closure.

The official Utah Attorney General announcement is captured in the project image set from the Utah Attorney General Daggett jail case page.

The history is relevant because it explains the closure and the historical transfer figures, not because the jail currently holds inmates.

Daggett County Jail Directions

The sheriff and jail inquiry address is 590 S Sheriff's Way, Manila, UT 84046. From the Vernal side, travel north toward Flaming Gorge and Manila, then follow local routing to South Sheriff's Way. From the Wyoming and Flaming Gorge side, approach Manila through local state routes and allow extra time during recreation seasons. The sheriff page describes a small resident county with heavy visitor traffic, so a records trip should be planned with weather and distance in mind.

The courthouse is separate. Court records, Justice Court, and 8th District Court contacts are tied to the 95 North 1st West courthouse area in Manila, while sheriff records and jail inquiries use South Sheriff's Way or P.O. Box 219. Confirm the right office before traveling.
