Josephine County Jail Roster Overview
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office is the county law-enforcement agency, and Sheriff Dave R. Daniel is listed by the Oregon Blue Book as the current sheriff. The official custody lookup is the Josephine County Jail Inmate Inquiry. It is built for current jail custody, not for a full criminal-history report. The jail page states that the Adult Jail was built in 2000 as a 262-bed facility and is currently able to house a maximum of 185 local inmates.
The roster is the first place to check for an adult in custody at the Josephine County Adult Jail. It does not replace the court register, a police report request, Oregon State Police criminal history, or state prison custody tools. If the roster does not show the person, call the jail or the Sheriff's Records Division. Sentenced state-prison inmates should be checked through Oregon DOC and VISOR rather than the county jail roster.
The Josephine County Adult Jail page is the source for the local jail overview and public inmate inquiry link.
The jail overview helps separate local jail custody from court case records and statewide correctional records.
How to Use the Josephine County Inmate Roster
The inmate inquiry accepts several search paths, so exact names are helpful but not the only option. Use a subject number or booking number when it is known. Broader searches may return more than one person, and the custody flag or facility field should be checked before assuming that a person is still in the jail.
- Open the official Josephine County Jail Inmate Inquiry from the county jail page or the direct roster link.
- Enter the person's name, subject number, booking number, booking date range, custody status, or housing facility when known.
- Review the listing fields, including name, subject number, sex, size, custody flag, and facility.
- Use the jail phone or Sheriff's Records Division if the online result is missing, unclear, or too limited for the purpose.
- Check court records or warrants separately when the need is a case event, charge filing, bail event, or missed-court issue.
Roster Search Fields
The public roster search fields captured from the official Josephine County inmate inquiry are more detailed than a name-only jail list. None of the fields was documented as mandatory in the captured interface, so a user can start broad and narrow with dates or facility filters.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Optional | Search by inmate name. |
| Subject Number | Text or number | Optional | Internal subject number assigned by the jail system. |
| Booking Number | Text or number | Optional | Booking identifier if known. |
| In Custody | Checkbox or dropdown | Optional | Filters custody status. |
| Booking From Date | Date | Optional | Start date for booking search. |
| Booking To Date | Date | Optional | End date for booking search. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | Optional | Josephine County Adult Jail and Temporary Out of custody were captured. |
What an Inmate Profile Shows
The accessible official listing snippets confirmed basic identity and custody fields. Mugshots, charges, bond amounts, booking detail, and court dates were not confirmed from captured profile text, so those details should not be assumed from the public listing alone. Court case events may appear in OJD case records, while police reports and traffic citations may require a Sheriff's Records Division request.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name, sometimes with a suffix. |
| Subject number | Numeric subject identifier in the jail system. |
| In custody | Yes, blank, or another custody flag depending on the listing. |
| Sex | Male or female value visible on listing snippets. |
| Height and weight | Physical description such as feet, inches, and pounds. |
| Custody location | Josephine County Adult Jail or a related custody status. |
Josephine County Jail Facilities
Josephine County research confirmed one main local jail facility for adult custody. The Sheriff's Records Division shares the same public-safety address and handles police reports, CAD incident reports, archived reports, and traffic citations. Use the jail contact for custody and visitation help. Use Records Division when the need is a law-enforcement record rather than inmate status.

Booking Process in Josephine County
Booking creates the local custody record. A person may be booked after arrest by the Sheriff's Office, Oregon State Police, or a city police agency. The roster can show custody status before the related court case is easy to find. A charge or warrant event may then appear in the Circuit Court register if a criminal, violation, or traffic matter is filed.
Bail is handled through separate court and jail payment channels. During business hours, bail may be posted at the Josephine County Circuit Court Accounting Office on the second floor of the courthouse at 500 NW 6th St. The research states that the court accepts cash only for that channel. After hours, the jail lobby kiosk or allpaid.com may be used with the AIC name, inmate ID, and court docket number.
The county's jail bail posting rules explain why an inmate lookup may need both jail identifiers and court docket information.
An inmate search can also show the timing gap between arrest and filed court charges. The booking record may reflect the arresting agency's custody information, while the court case later shows the charging document, arraignment, plea, disposition, and sentence. If the goal is to know whether a charge became a conviction, use the Circuit Court case register after checking custody.
Visitation Hours and Rules
Josephine County Jail visitation is video-based. The jail states that it does not have in-person visits, but it offers onsite video visits at the jail lobby terminals and remote video visits using a computer, phone, or tablet. Visitors must create an account with Securus. Free visits apply only to visits scheduled and completed at the video terminal in the jail lobby.
The Josephine County jail video visitation page provides the local schedule and visit rules.
Video visitation rules matter because misconduct can end a visit and may restrict future visit access.
| Visit Type | Days | Times | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onsite video | Monday-Sunday | 7 a.m.-9 p.m. | Two free onsite video visits per week; schedule at least 24 hours ahead and not more than one week ahead. |
| Remote video | Monday-Sunday | When the AIC is available | Fee-based through Securus; classification and status can affect availability. |
| Assistance | Monday-Friday | 8 a.m.-5 p.m. | Call 541-474-5140 for video-visit help. |
How to Contact an Inmate
Personal mail is not accepted at the Josephine County Adult Jail. It must be sent to the Securus Digital Mail Center with the inmate name and Securus ID number, Josephine County Adult Jail, C/O Securus DMC, PO Box 20126, Tampa, FL 33622. The mail is scanned and made available on kiosks. Improperly addressed mail may be delayed or returned, and physical mail is destroyed thirty days after upload.
Legal mail and publications use the jail address at 1901 NE F Street, Grants Pass, OR 97526. Books must be paperback and sent by a professional bookseller or Amazon. Newly lodged inmates have phone access after booking and intake. Calls are allowed 7 a.m.-9 p.m., limited to 15 minutes, and recorded except attorney calls. Inmates cannot receive incoming calls, and jail staff will not pass messages.
The jail property and mail rules explain the split between scanned personal mail and direct legal mail.
Mail routing is strict, so the address depends on whether the item is personal mail, legal mail, or a publication.
The jail inmate phone rules describe collect calls and prepaid calling cards sold by Securus Technology.
Phone rules are separate from video visits and do not allow incoming calls to the adult in custody.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Money can be posted to an inmate account through Inmate Canteen online. The jail research states that inmates may have up to $200 in their account for commissary items such as snacks and hygiene items. Medical bills and prior-stay debts are deducted from the account. Josephine County Adult Jail uses TurnKey as the commissary vendor for select purchases by friends and family.
The jail commissary and inmate accounts page gives the local fund and vendor rules.
Commissary purchases are not handled through jail staff or the lobby kiosk, which is why online vendor routing matters.
VISOR is a separate state custody notification service. It lets users check county or state custody status and register for notice of release, transfer, escape, or death. VISOR can be reached by email at visor@doc.oregon.gov or voicemail at 888-749-8080.
The Josephine County VISOR custody notification page links jail users to the state notification system.
VISOR is useful when the need is notification after custody changes, not a full court case file.
VISOR should also be treated as a notification aid rather than a replacement for the roster. The county jail roster is the local custody search for Josephine County Adult Jail. VISOR is broader because it can cover county or state custody status and release, transfer, escape, or death notices. A person who moves from county jail to state prison may no longer be best tracked through the local roster alone.
For police reports, CAD incident reports, archived reports, and traffic citation copies, the Sheriff's Records Division is the correct follow-up. The Records Division phone is 541-474-5123 option 3, and the lobby hours captured in the research are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those records are separate from inmate visitation, commissary, mail, or phone services.
