This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post security, schedule a visit, or obtain official booking records for you. Use the official office that controls the record or custody status.
Where to Start for Jail, Records, and Court Questions
Deschutes County custody and records are split by record type. The Adult Jail handles current local custody questions, the Sheriff's Records Unit handles DCSO records business, Deschutes County Circuit Court handles criminal case records after filing, and state or federal locators cover people moved outside the county jail system.

Use these pages and official systems according to the record you need:
- For a person currently lodged in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and then call the Adult Jail if the roster is unclear.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots first because Oregon law and DCSO policy limit pre-conviction mugshot release.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest, Oregon Smart Search, OJCIN, or Deschutes Circuit Court.
- For facility-specific questions, use the Deschutes County Adult Jail or Deschutes County Work Center pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Oregon prisoner, use Oregon Offender Search through the Oregon Department of Corrections, not the county jail roster.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or federal court and U.S. Marshals channels. For immigration custody, use ICE's Online Detainee Locator.
- For custody-status notifications in Oregon, use VISOR at https://visor.oregon.gov/.
