Use the correct contact for the question. The jail can address current local custody, while the public-records route is used for written requests for booking records, booking photos, incident records, or older jail records that are not provided by phone.
- For a person who may be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and call the jail information line.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the written public-records request process.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Idaho iCourt.
- For the local detention facility, use the Lemhi County Jail page and confirm service rules by phone.
- For a sentenced Idaho prisoner, use the IDOC Resident/Client Search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE ODLS.
