Grand County Jail Inmate Lookup

Grand County Jail Overview

Grand County Jail is operated by the Grand County Sheriff's Office. It is the only local detention facility identified in the Grand County facility map. The jail serves the county jail role, not the state prison role. That distinction matters because a person arrested in Grand County may be on the county jail roster before trial, while a person sentenced to prison moves into the Utah Department of Corrections system and should be searched through the state offender search.

The county's jail page lists the public jail mailing and facility address in downtown Moab. The sheriff contact block names Sheriff Jamison Wiggins and lists the jail as a 24/7 operation. Grand County Jail can hold pretrial detainees, people serving local jail sentences, and state inmates housed under Utah Department of Corrections jail-program or contract arrangements when used. No separate city jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was located in Grand County official sources.

The county's Grand County Jail information page shows the local mail and drop-off rules that families usually need first.

The screenshot matters because the Grand County Jail page is where the county publishes practical rules for mail, packages, and approved drop-off items.

Grand County Jail Capacity

The strongest current capacity source is the Utah Department of Corrections FY2024 jail programs profile. It lists Grand County with 60 total jail beds, 20 contracted state beds, 12 beds available for Corrections housing, male housing, and $214,636 in FY2024 contract funding. Grand County's March 3, 2026 Public Safety Complex Feasibility Study RFP also uses a 60-bed current jail figure and describes current operations as approximately 43 inmates.

These numbers should not be merged into one daily population count. The 60-bed figure is a capacity measure. The approximately 43-inmate figure is a county planning number from the 2026 RFP. The public roster count is a point-in-time list, and the July 1, 2026 roster research counted 30 listed people across five image pages. That public-list count is useful for a snapshot, but it is not an annual average.

Search Grand County Jail Roster

The official local lookup is the Grand County Jail Inmate List. It is not a name-search database. The page publishes current roster images or slideshow pages, so users review the posted pages instead of entering a last name, date of birth, or booking number into a form. On July 1, 2026, the roster showed five current image pages.

1. Open the Grand County Jail Inmate List and check the visible updated date near the page title.
2. Review every roster image page, not only the first image. The list may span several pages.
3. Scan for the person's name, then read the offense rows below that name.
4. Use the visible Booking #, Name Number, Statute, Offense, Court, code/category, and Class fields to understand what the public report shows.
5. If the person is missing or the arrest just happened, call Grand County Jail at 435-259-8115 or use the sheriff GRAMA request process for records not posted online.

The roster should be read as a current county jail offense list. It is not a statewide prison locator, a released-inmate archive, or a court docket. If the person has been sentenced to state prison, use the Utah Department of Corrections offender search. If the case is federal or immigration-related, the BOP locator, U.S. Marshals, or ICE locator may be needed.

The official roster page is image-based, as shown on the county's Jail Inmate List page.

This format is why Grand County Jail lookup instructions should tell users to inspect each image page and use the jail phone when a name is not shown.

Grand County Jail Contact

For custody questions, call the jail before traveling to the facility. The county uses both a sheriff administrative address and a jail mailing or facility address in its public materials, so a visitor should confirm the correct entrance for the specific purpose, such as records, bond, visitation, or mail.

The jail is part of the downtown Moab public safety and courthouse area. From U.S. 191 or Main Street, route into the Center Street and 100 East grid and allow time for downtown Moab traffic, especially during tourism season and event weekends.

Grand County Jail Visits

Grand County's visitation navigation points to NCIC video visitation. NCIC tells visitors to create an account, select the facility, select the resident, and choose a date and time. NCIC also advises scheduling ahead to make sure the detainee is available. The county sources reviewed did not publish a full Grand County in-person visitation calendar, dress code, ID list, visit length, or same-day visit rule.

NCIC contact information listed in the research includes info@ncic.com, 800-943-2189, and international +1-903-247-0069. Fees may appear inside the vendor portal and should not be guessed from another county's rules.

The county-linked NCIC video visitation page shows the vendor route Grand County uses for visit scheduling.

The NCIC image reinforces that video visits are handled through an outside scheduling account rather than a county-hosted calendar.

Grand County Jail Mail

The jail page gives a specific mail format. Write the inmate's name first, then C/O Grand County Jail, then the jail address. Packages require preapproval. The county says the inmate must fill out a request form or the package will not be accepted. Items not on the drop-off list must go through the mail.

Grand County-specific commissary ordering instructions, online deposit vendor details, public fee schedules, and deposit limits were not located on official county jail pages. Cash, money orders, and cashier checks appear on the jail drop-off list, but that is not the same as a published online commissary system. For a state prisoner in UDC custody, Access Corrections rules apply instead. For someone physically in Grand County Jail, use the jail phone for current deposit and commissary instructions.

Grand County Jail Calls

The county bail page provides the clearest local phone rule. After being booked, each prisoner is allowed a reasonable number of telephone calls if requested. Prisoners may use telephones in their tier between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Calls from jail sections are collect calls and are subject to recording and monitoring.

NCIC's account portal is tied to video visitation and communication services, but the county source did not publish a full local rate chart. If the question is a phone account, current rates, blocked numbers, or call problems, call the jail or use the NCIC account support route connected to the county visitation system.

Grand County Jail Booking

Grand County does not publish a full booking manual. Local job materials and jail pages still show the basic intake path. A person arrested by the Sheriff's Office, Moab City Police, Utah Highway Patrol, or another agency is brought into custody. Jail staff verify arrest information, run records and NCIC checks, create or update the booking record, and document offense information that may later appear on the public roster.

The public roster shows fields such as Booking #, Name, Name Number, Statute, Offense, Court, code/category, and Class. It does not publish a full profile page, confirmed housing unit, release date, bond field, or clickable mugshot profile. Arrest photos, charge text or source, arraignment dates, and bond amounts may require a sheriff GRAMA request when legally releasable.

Booking

The jail intake process that creates a local custody record after arrest.

Classification

The internal jail process used to decide housing and supervision based on risk, charges, safety, and needs.

Detainer

A hold or request from another agency that can affect release even after a local bond issue is addressed.

Grand County Jail Programs

The UDC FY2024 jail programs profile lists Grand County programs and classes that include high school completion, Moral Reconation Therapy, religious services, group therapy, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, USARA, and inside work positions. That source supports a limited local program description without claiming that every service is available to every inmate or in every housing status.

The 2026 Public Safety Complex RFP gives more future-facing context. It says the current 60-bed jail does not adequately support rehabilitative and educational programming. It asks consultants to study programming space for substance abuse treatment, sex offender treatment, domestic violence programs, mental health counseling, classrooms, vocational training, life skills, job readiness, family visitation, re-entry planning, and multipurpose rooms. The same RFP frames jail planning as part of a broader courthouse, sheriff, County Attorney, court services, evidence, intake, booking, sally port, training, and public safety space study.

Those planning notes should be read carefully. They show what Grand County has identified as facility needs and planning goals, not a promise that each program is fully operating in the current jail. Families should confirm current eligibility, schedules, and enrollment through the jail.

Grand County Jail Records

Grand County Jail records may appear in more than one place. The jail roster is the quick public custody clue. The court record shows charges filed after an arrest. The sheriff GRAMA process is the route for records not posted online, such as older booking records, booking photos where release is allowed, police reports, charge source details, and bond information.

Utah GRAMA separates public, private, controlled, protected, and exempt records. Juvenile information is generally not released unless certified as adult, and investigative or privacy limits can affect release. A roster entry also is not the same as a conviction. For the court path after booking, use court records in addition to custody records.

Note: Confirm custody, visit availability, bond handling, and mail rules with Grand County Jail before making plans based on a roster image.
