Ada County Inmate Population is a private reference, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule a visit, pull an official booking record, or correct a government file. Those requests must go to the office that holds the record.

Where to Look First
Different record questions belong in different public systems. Choose the route that matches the person's status and the kind of record needed.
- For someone in the county jail, start with Ada County jail inmate records or call ACSO at 208-577-3000.
- For booking photos, use Ada County jail roster mugshots and the ACSO public-record request process.
- For formal charges after arrest, use Ada County court records after a jail arrest and Idaho iCourt.
- For sentenced Idaho prisoners, use the Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator.
- For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Court and Prosecutor Contacts
Jail booking records and court records are not the same file. The sheriff's office maintains jail custody information, while the court and prosecutor handle case filings, hearings, formal charges, and certified copies.
