Juab County Inmate Population Overview
Juab County has one official detention facility in the research record for this build: Juab County Jail, operated by the Juab County Sheriff's Office. No separate city jail, work-release center, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention facility was found in official Juab County sources. That makes the local map clear, but it does not make the lookup path simple. The sheriff site did not publish an online inmate roster, booking list, or current mugshot gallery, so the most direct route for a recent Juab County arrest is the jail phone line and the sheriff records process.
The jail also has a state corrections role. The Utah Department of Corrections Jail Programs Booklet reports Juab County Jail as part of the Inmate Placement Program, which lets selected state inmates serve time in county jails under contract. Current pages from the sheriff list Acting Sheriff Travis Kenison, while an older contact page still names former Sheriff Douglas Anderson. For current inmate population copy, the newer sheriff pages are the better local source.
The Juab County Sheriff's Office homepage is the source that anchors the local custody map, including the sheriff contact path, current leadership label, and Nixle emergency-notification prompt.
That screenshot supports the local-office context for the Juab County inmate population, but it does not replace the jail phone, Records Division, or state locator paths used for an actual custody search.
Juab County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest Juab County inmate population figures located are program, bed, and historical-count figures, not a live jail dashboard. The UDC booklet supplies the current bed context for the jail and the state placement role. Prisoners of the Census tables, which cite Bureau of Justice Statistics jail census data, provide historical local jail counts. Utah Legislature material from 2025 adds future state-contract context, but those expansion figures should not be read as current jail population.
| Measure | Figure | Source and meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Juab County Jail total beds | 58 | UDC Jail Programs Booklet 2025; bed/program figure, not live count. |
| Regular UDC contract beds | 15 | UDC Jail Programs Booklet 2025; state-inmate placement capacity. |
| Historical local jail ADP | 38 | Prisoners of the Census, Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2013, sourced to BJS. |
| Historical local jail count | 56 | Prisoners of the Census 2010-vintage table, March 31, 2006, sourced to BJS. |
| Additional state beds discussed | 205 | Utah S.J.R. 5, 2025; expansion support, not proof of current occupancy. |
Current daily population, annual bookings, average length of stay, and a Juab-specific demographic breakdown were not located in official sources. The page should not treat 58 beds as the same thing as 58 inmates, should not treat 15 state-inmate beds as total population, and should not treat the 205 expansion figure as a filled count. Those distinctions matter because rural jail figures can mix capacity, average daily population, contract beds, and people held for other agencies.
Juab County Jail Population Trends
The trend line for Juab County inmate population is a small local jail with a much larger state-contract discussion in recent legislative material. The historical BJS-derived figures show the jail operating as a small county facility in the 2006 and 2013 snapshots. The 2025 UDC and legislative sources show a different issue: the jail's link to Utah's statewide prison bed shortage through the Inmate Placement Program.
| Year or period | Count or bed figure | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2006 | 56 | Historical local jail count from BJS-derived table. |
| Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2013 | 38 ADP | Historical average daily population from BJS-derived table. |
| 2025 | 58 total beds / 15 state beds | UDC jail program bed and contract context. |
| 2025 legislative action | 205 additional beds supported | State-contract expansion material, not live jail count. |
The S.J.R. 5 fiscal note estimated at least $6,531,500 per year if all 205 additional beds were contracted at $87.29 per bed per day. It also noted that contract days could shift from other local jails or require later appropriation. That is useful population context because it shows why Juab County matters to Utah corrections, but it remains contract planning unless later official data confirms actual housed counts.
Search Juab County Inmate Records
No official Juab County online jail roster was located on the sheriff or county government sites. That means a current Juab County inmate search starts with the jail instead of a public search box. Call Juab County Jail for current custody questions, use the Records Division when a written booking record or photograph is needed, and use statewide or federal systems only when the person's status has moved beyond local jail custody.
- Call Juab County Jail at (435) 623-1344 Option 2 for current custody status after a recent arrest.
- Contact sheriff Records at (435) 623-1344 Option 3 for reports, photographs, recordings, and other sheriff records.
- Use the sheriff GRAMA form when a document is needed and include names, dates, location, agency, and case number if known.
- Check Utah VINELink for custody-status notifications where available.
- Search UDC Offender Search only for people under state corrections custody or supervision.
- Use Utah Courts Xchange for filed court cases after charges are entered.
The sheriff's online records page is important because it gives a formal fallback when no roster exists. Its GRAMA process covers sheriff reports, accident reports, photographs, recordings, and other sheriff records. The form cites a response window of up to 10 business days for the record, a denial, or an extension notice, and it lists $15 for up to 10 pages with additional costs over 10 pages.
Juab County Custody Systems
Each custody system answers a different question. A person booked yesterday in Nephi, Mona, Eureka, Levan, or rural Juab County is not searched the same way as a sentenced state inmate, a federal prisoner, or a person with an immigration hold. The most common search mistake is using the Utah DOC locator for a newly arrested county-jail detainee. UDC states that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced and housed in county jails are not listed there.
| System | Best for | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Juab County Jail phone | Current county jail custody and release questions | No online roster was found. |
| Sheriff Records / GRAMA | Booking records, photos, reports, recordings | Formal request, fees, and response time may apply. |
| VINELink | Utah custody status and notifications | Not a full booking report. |
| UDC Offender Search | Sentenced state custody or supervision | Excludes unsentenced county jail detainees. |
| Xchange / MyCourtCase | Filed court charges and case history | Court record, not jail custody roster. |
| BOP / ICE ODLS | Federal sentenced or immigration custody | No Juab facility was located for either system. |
Juab County Jail Records Law
Utah's public-record framework is the Government Records Access and Management Act, often called GRAMA. Utah Code Section 63G-2-201 gives the public a right to inspect and copy public records during normal working hours unless another law restricts access. Section 63G-2-204 governs request handling and timing. Section 63G-2-305 covers protected records that may be withheld or redacted.
Records point: Public access does not mean every booking detail is online. A record may be public, redacted, protected, sealed, expunged, or held by a different office.
Booking photographs have their own Utah rule. Utah Code Section 17-22-30 restricts copies of county-jail booking photos and requires a requester statement about not placing the photo in a publish-for-pay publication or website. Bail and release may involve Section 77-20-204 for county-jail monetary bail and Section 77-20-205 for judge or magistrate pretrial orders.
Juab County Detention Facility
The facility list for Juab County is short because official sources located only one detention facility inside the county. The current jail should not be confused with the historic 1892 Juab County Jail at 45 W. Center in Nephi, which appears in National Register material. The operational jail is the sheriff complex on Sheep Lane/Sheeplane Drive.
- Juab County Jail: county jail operated by the Juab County Sheriff's Office for local detainees, local inmates, and selected UDC state inmates under the Inmate Placement Program.
Central Utah Correctional Facility is a major UDC prison in nearby central Utah, but official UDC sources place it in Gunnison, Sanpete County. It is a state-prison context for Juab readers, not a Juab County facility page.
Juab County Jail Visits
Juab County Jail visitation is handled through Visitel, not by jail visiting staff. The sheriff jail page says visitors create an account online or use the jail lobby kiosk, and a state-issued driver's license or ID is required for registration. Visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. On-site and remote video visits use the same main windows: 8:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
| Service | Juab County Jail detail |
|---|---|
| On-site video | Monday-Sunday during listed morning, afternoon, and evening windows; two free visits per week noted for inmates/detainees. |
| Remote video | Seven days a week and holidays in the same windows; $7 per 15-minute visit, with promotional rates possible. |
| Attorney visits | Daily 9:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. except meals and headcount; documentation required. |
| Clergy visits | Daily 10:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. except meals and headcount; clearance and documentation required. |
| UDC inmate visits | Saturday and Sunday by appointment with a visitor application that may take up to 10 days. |
Juab County Arrest Court Records
A jail booking and a court case are not the same record. After a Juab County arrest, the jail may hold the person locally, but court records begin when charges are filed or entered in the court system. The Juab County Attorney prosecutes felony criminal cases in District Court, juvenile matters in Juvenile Court, and misdemeanor cases in County Justice Court. Utah's Fourth District includes Juab County, and the Nephi courthouse is the local district court contact point.
Xchange provides public district and justice court summaries, including parties, judges, attorneys, filings, hearings, judgments, and outcomes when those records are public. MyCourtCase is different. It is a free party-access tool for people who can verify and link their own cases. Booking photos belong in the sheriff records workflow, while filed complaints, hearing history, and judgments belong in the court-record workflow.
Juab County Records to Verify
Several useful details were not published in the official sources reviewed. No live jail count, annual booking total, average length of stay, pretrial and sentenced split, housing-unit list, commissary vendor, bond-payment page, or dedicated sheriff mobile app was located. Those gaps should be handled directly: call the jail for current custody and visit rules, call Records for sheriff-held documents, use the court system for filed charges, and use UDC only for state corrections custody. This keeps the Juab County inmate population search tied to the office that actually controls each record.
