Boundary County Jail Roster Status
Boundary County does not publish an official online jail roster, booking report, recent booking list, or inmate profile search in the official sources reviewed. The Boundary County Sheriff's Office jail page identifies the jail, bail route, records form, inmate labor material, fingerprinting, and InmateCanteen link, but it does not provide a public roster search form. That changes the order of a local inmate lookup. For a recent arrest or current custody question, the first usable official channel is the Boundary County Jail and Sheriff's Office phone line.
The county jail is separate from the Idaho Department of Correction, federal custody, immigration detention, and court records. A person booked after a local arrest may be held at Boundary County Jail while the court case begins. A person sentenced to state prison moves to IDOC and should be searched through the IDOC Resident/Client Search. Federal sentenced inmates use the BOP Inmate Locator, while immigration custody uses ICE ODLS. Court filings, bond orders, and charges are searched through iCourt or requested from the clerk, not from a jail roster.
Note: No outside locator proves a recent Boundary County jail booking was or was not made.
Find Boundary County Jail Custody
Because Boundary County has no official web roster, the practical search chain starts with the jail, then moves outward. Call the jail or sheriff line with the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or incident number. If staff cannot release enough detail by phone, use the sheriff records process and ask for the exact record needed, such as a booking sheet, jail log, release date, bond record, or arrest report.
- Call Boundary County Jail or the Sheriff's Office at 208-267-3151 for current local custody, release, or after-hours bail routing.
- If the question needs a document, use the official sheriff public-records request form and describe the person, date range, location, agency, and record type.
- Search iCourt after charges are filed if the goal is a case number, charge detail, bond order, hearing, or disposition.
- Use IDOC only after a prison sentence, transfer, probation, or parole status makes state supervision likely.
- Use BOP, U.S. Marshals context, or ICE only when federal or immigration custody is involved.
- Check VINELink for notification coverage, then verify important custody facts with the holding agency.
The MySheriff app is useful for sheriff alerts, services, records links, jail service links, and crime tips. The official MySheriff app redirect promoted by the sheriff did not show an inmate roster, warrant search, or mugshot gallery in the research. Treat it as a service and alerts tool, not as a confirmed Boundary County inmate search portal.
Boundary County Search Fields
Boundary County's inmate-record search fields are not a web form. They are the details that make a phone call, lobby request, or written request specific enough for staff to locate the right jail record. A broad request for every record about a person can be slower, more costly, or harder to process than a focused request for a booking sheet, arrest report, jail log, release status, or bond record.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public online jail roster | n/a | n/a | No official Boundary County online jail roster or search form was located. |
| Phone lookup | Phone call | n/a | Call 208-267-3151 with full name, date of birth if known, booking or arrest date, and case or incident number if known. |
| In-person inquiry | Counter request | n/a | Use the main Jail/Sheriff's Office lobby and bring government ID if requesting identity-sensitive records. |
| Public records request | Written form | Yes for written requests | Describe records, names, dates, locations, incident details, and resident status where the form requests it. |
The Boundary sheriff Civil Division page ties civil and records work to weekday office hours and the civil extension. The current sheriff records data names Emily Carey as Records Custodian and explains that deputy reports may take a few days, city police reports are not maintained by the Sheriff's Office, and active investigations are not released until closed.
The sheriff's civil records page is the clearest screenshot match for written jail-record routing. The image below comes from the official Civil Division and records page.
That records channel matters because Boundary County inmate records often require a written request instead of a public roster click.
Boundary County Booking Record Fields
No official Boundary County jail profile was available to inspect, so a local page cannot claim that an online profile shows a mugshot, housing unit, bond field, or release time. The safer record inventory is based on what a requester may ask the sheriff or court to locate. Some facts may be confirmed by phone. Others may require a public-records request or a filed court case.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name of arrested or jailed person | Identity of the person in custody or named in a booking or report request. |
| Date and time of arrest or booking | Helps the custodian locate the jail intake or incident record. |
| Location or incident | Connects the request to the event, road, address, or agency report. |
| Arresting or reporting agency | Shows whether the sheriff, city police, or another agency owns the report. |
| Charge or incident type | May appear in a booking, report, or court case, subject to exemptions and case status. |
| Bond or bail status | May be confirmed by jail staff and may also appear in iCourt once a case opens. |
| Release or transfer status | May require the jail, VINELink, IDOC, BOP, or ICE depending on custody level. |
| Booking photo | Not published in an official online roster; requestable as a law-enforcement record subject to Idaho exemptions. |
For a filed criminal case, iCourt can show case information, party details, charge details, bond information, hearings, disposition events, and financial information. iCourt is useful after a court case exists, but it is not a live custody system and does not replace the jail phone line for current custody.
Boundary County Jail vs IDOC
Boundary County Jail handles local detention for people arrested in the county, pretrial detainees, short local sentences, court commitments, and people waiting for release, transfer, or another agency action. Idaho Code 20-612 requires the sheriff to receive people committed to jail by proper authority and requires the county to provide necessary food, clothing, bedding, and medical care. That is a county jail duty, not an IDOC prison lookup.
Custody comparison: Boundary County Jail is for recent local arrests and short county jail custody. iCourt is for formal charges, bond orders, hearings, and dispositions. IDOC is for state prison, probation, and parole. BOP is for sentenced federal custody. ICE ODLS is for immigration detention.
The IDOC locator requires a last name or IDOC number and may include people in prison, on probation, or on parole. IDOC says its data is updated daily, but status, location, scheduled termination date, and mailing address can change quickly. A missing IDOC result is not proof that a person was never booked into Boundary County Jail.
Boundary County Jail Contact Card
The local facility map contains one detention facility: Boundary County Jail. It is operated by the Boundary County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Travis Stolley. The jail and sheriff records channels share the same main phone line, so callers should identify whether they need current custody, bail, a records request, inmate funds, visitation, or a PREA safety report.
Boundary County Jail
6438 Kootenai St
Bonners Ferry, ID 83805
208-267-3151
Main office hours are listed as Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, closed holidays; civil records hours are listed as Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. except holidays.
Boundary County's rural setting makes call-ahead checks useful. A visitor or requester may be driving from a remote road, a border-area community, or outside Bonners Ferry. Confirm the correct entrance, whether staff can help at that time, and whether the question belongs with the sheriff, court clerk, city police agency, IDOC, BOP, or ICE.
Boundary County Booking and Release
A local custody event usually starts with an arrest or court commitment, transport to Boundary County Jail, intake, records processing, and court routing. The official sources do not publish a Boundary-specific booking checklist, so the public copy should stay cautious. Intake records may include identity information, arresting agency, charge or incident details, property handling, health screening, fingerprints, and a booking photo, but those items are not confirmed as public online fields.
After-hours bail is routed through dispatch non-emergency at 208-267-3151. The sheriff jail page says cash is generally accepted and checks are generally not accepted for bail. Before traveling, ask whether bail has been set, whether any hold blocks release, and what payment type is accepted at that time. A person can have a local bond and still be delayed by a probation hold, parole hold, out-of-county warrant, federal detainer, ICE detainer, transport issue, or court order.
Formal bond information may appear in iCourt after a case opens. That does not mean the jail accepts online court payments for release. Court financial records, fines, fees, and release payments are separate issues, and staff at the jail should confirm the current release route.
Boundary County Jail Visitation
Official Boundary County jail visitation hours, video visitation vendor, dress code, child-visitor policy, and attorney-visit schedule were not published in the located official sources. The research found a direct official route for visitation content, but no reliable extracted schedule. Do not rely on third-party jail directories for a visit plan. Call the jail before travel and ask whether the person is eligible for visits, what identification is required, whether visits are in person or remote, and whether any local rule has changed.
| Topic | Located Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visiting schedule | Not published in located official sources | Call 208-267-3151 before visiting. |
| Visitor entrance | Not published for visits; jail lobby is referenced for fingerprinting | Confirm lobby check-in and entry rules by phone. |
| ID requirement | Not published for visits; fingerprinting requires valid government photo ID | Ask what visitor ID is accepted. |
| Dress code and child rules | Not published | Ask the jail before bringing children or traveling. |
| Video visitation | Not located | Do not assume a video visit option exists. |
| Attorney visits | Not published | Attorneys should confirm scheduling directly with the facility. |
Boundary County's official fingerprinting instructions show that some public services require the Jail/Sheriff's Office lobby, government photo ID, and a call ahead to ensure staff availability. That is not a visitation rule, but it supports a cautious arrival plan for a secure building.
Boundary County Jail Phone and Mail
The legacy sheriff inmate phone page says Boundary County uses Consolidated Telecom for the inmate phone system, and that inmates may buy phone cards at the facility at designated times from on-duty detention deputies. The extracted official source did not publish phone rates, a full account setup guide, or a remote video-visit provider. For urgent family contact questions, ask the jail whether the person has completed intake and whether phone access has started.
No official inmate mail address format was located. Use the jail's contact address for facility inquiries, but do not send inmate mail until staff confirms the correct name format, inmate identifier if any, allowed items, return-address rule, and mail vendor or screening rule if one applies.
- Detainer
- A hold request from another agency that can affect release even after local bail is posted.
- Remand
- A court order sending or returning a person to custody.
- Classification
- A jail or prison decision about housing and security needs.
- Public records request
- A written request to the custodian for a specific record.
Boundary County Commissary and Funds
The sheriff's current jail page links Summit Correctional Services and InmateCanteen for adding funds and sending care packs. The legacy Boundary County jail commissary page gives more local timing: commissary is weekly, delivery changed to Thursday, and inmate requests must be turned in by Wednesday night to detention deputies for Thursday delivery. It also lists categories such as snacks, candy, chips, sugar-free items, hygiene care, hair care, and long johns.
| Service | Official Detail | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Online funds and care packs | Summit Correctional Services / InmateCanteen is linked from the sheriff jail page. | Confirm custody before sending money or ordering a care pack. |
| Commissary schedule | Weekly commissary with Thursday delivery. | Ask whether the schedule has changed. |
| Request deadline | Requests due Wednesday night to detention deputies. | Confirm whether funds must be posted before the deadline. |
| Family/friend money timing | Legacy page says money must be placed on books on Wednesdays for Thursday delivery. | Ask about current timing, fees, and accepted payment types. |
| Phone cards | Inmates may buy cards at designated times from detention deputies. | Ask about current vendor rates and account rules. |
The official commissary screenshot is directly matched to this topic. The image below comes from the Boundary County commissary page.
The Wednesday and Thursday timing is one of the most concrete family-service details published for Boundary County Jail.
Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending money, ordering care packs, or planning a visit.
Boundary County Jail Programs
Boundary County's most specific jail program detail is the Sheriff Inmate Labor Program. Official materials say the program is in lieu of serving jail time when the court sentences it. Work is done at the Boundary County Landfill unless otherwise advised, and current app data says the landfill is the only authorized inmate labor site. Participants must sign up at the Sheriff's Office, bring completed paperwork, and pay the listed daily cash fee before the court deadline.
The program is not a general release option for any person in custody. The person must ask the court at hearing or in writing to the judge of record, complete all hours by the court-advised date, and ask the court for extensions or legal questions. The sheriff does not grant extensions or provide legal advice. Failure to pay or complete assigned labor can lead to a non-compliance notice to the judge and possible contempt warrant.
