The Jerome County Inmate Population
The best current count for the Jerome County inmate population is the official SIRCOMM/CentralSquare reports portal linked from the county Jail Reports & Warrants page. Jerome County does not publish a classic name-search roster with a profile page for each person. Instead, the public custody source is a dated PDF called the JCSO - Portal In Custody Report. It is tied to Jerome County Sheriff activity and reflects people currently incarcerated in the Jerome County Jail.
The June 8, 2026 In Custody Report listed 157 total records. That figure is a point-in-time head count, not an annual average daily population. The report includes people held for the sheriff, people arrested by local police, warrant holds, probation or state-style holds, and other hold-agency codes that appear in the public data. The county jail count can move during the day as a person posts bond, is released by court order, moves to IDOC custody, or is booked on a new case.
The county jail is the only detention facility listed in the Jerome County facility map. No Idaho Department of Correction prison, federal Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention facility was located in Jerome County. That distinction matters because the Jerome County inmate population page for the jail does not cover every person with a Jerome County case after sentencing or transfer.
Jerome County Inmate Population Statistics
The official county sources provide strong current report counts, but they do not publish every long-term jail statistic. The county jail page does not give a current official bed count, annual bookings total, average daily population, or demographic dashboard. The live reports still give useful public measures for current custody, recent arrests, first appearances, and active warrants.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| Current jail population/head count | 157 records | Jerome County Sheriff In Custody Report, printed June 8, 2026 |
| Daily arrests | 5 records | Jerome County Sheriff Daily Arrests Report, printed June 8, 2026 |
| Daily arraignments | 7 records | Jerome County Sheriff Daily Arraignments Report, printed June 8, 2026 |
| Active warrants | 891 records | Jerome County Sheriff Active Warrants Report, printed June 8, 2026 |
| Rated capacity | Not published by current county page | County jail page checked in research; outside design references were not treated as official |
Jerome County Inmate Population Trends
The available official data is strongest for the current report set. Static research did not locate a Jerome County annual jail report, a county-by-county jail standards population table, or a public average-daily-population series. BJS and Vera are useful high-authority trend sources, but the research did not extract a Jerome-specific figure from those dashboards. For that reason, trend language should stay narrow and should not convert a single report into an annual trend.
| Date or Source | Count | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| June 8, 2026 In Custody Report | 157 | Current custody records in the Jerome County Sheriff report |
| June 8, 2026 Daily Arrests | 5 | People arrested and booked in the daily report window |
| June 8, 2026 Daily Arraignments | 7 | Initial appearances scheduled in the daily arraignment report |
| 2019 BJS Census of Jails | Not extracted | High-authority jail census source, but no Jerome figure was captured in the research |
Who Makes Up Jerome County Custody
The current custody report does not publish race, sex, age, pretrial status, or sentenced status for the full Jerome County inmate population. It does publish a hold-agency field, booking number, booking date, days in custody, and a front mugshot column. Those fields show that the jail population is not limited to same-day arrests. It may include warrant arrests, local sentences, probation or state holds, and people held for agencies shown by report codes.
- Current custody: the In Custody Report lists people currently incarcerated in the Jerome County Jail.
- Recent bookings: the Daily Arrests Report lists booking date, name, age, sex, and charges for new arrests.
- Court movement: the Daily Arraignments Report lists initial appearances, cell locations, and deputy numbers for that day.
- Warrant population: the Active Warrants Report shows warrant numbers, jurisdiction, charges, and bond language.
Jerome County Jail Capacity
The current official Jerome County Jail page does not publish a rated capacity, pod layout, construction history, or accreditation statement. Project and design sources outside the current county page have described the facility as a 132-bed or 135-bed jail, but those figures should not be treated as the county's current official rated capacity. The June 8, 2026 In Custody Report listed 157 records, which is useful for current population context, but it should not be labeled overcrowding without a confirmed official capacity and county statement.
The official Jerome County Jail page is still important because it identifies the facility, gives jail contact information, describes video visitation, and links users toward jail reports. The public reports supply the current head count. The jail page supplies the facility identity and contact path.
Laws Governing Jerome County Inmates
Idaho public-record law is the legal frame for many jail and arrest records. Idaho Code section 74-102 makes public records open for inspection and copying unless another statute says otherwise. Idaho Code section 74-103 sets response deadlines for public-record requests. Idaho Code section 74-105 protects certain law-enforcement, DOC, juvenile, victim, security, and prisoner information.
Key Statutes:
Idaho Code section 74-124 treats basic arrest facts differently from protected investigatory material.
Idaho Code section 31-2202 gives the sheriff charge of the county jail and prisoners.
Idaho Code section 20-622 requires county commissioners to inspect the jail quarterly.

The main county lookup path begins with Jerome County Jail Reports & Warrants. That page links to the In Custody Head Count, Arrests, Arraignments, Active Warrants, and VINE. The report portal is regional, so the agency filter matters. Choose the Jerome County Sheriff agency code when the goal is the Jerome County Jail population.
- Open the county Jail Reports & Warrants page or the SIRCOMM reports search.
- Select JCSO - Portal In Custody Report for current jail custody.
- Use JRCO - Jerome County Sheriff as the agency when the portal offers an agency filter.

For a closer walk-through of the roster fields, the Jerome County jail inmate records page separates the current custody report, daily arrests, and state or federal fallback locators.
Jerome County Current Inmate Lookup
The SIRCOMM reports interface uses report filters rather than a single name box.

The county-linked reports are free and do not require a login, but they open as PDFs rather than profile pages.
The SIRCOMM report search page displays the controls used for Jerome County jail reports.
The agency dropdown includes many regional police, sheriff, fire, and emergency-service agencies, so choosing the Jerome County Sheriff option helps avoid pulling a neighboring county report.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Report Title | Dropdown | No | Use JCSO - Portal In Custody Report for current jail custody. |
| Report Date | Date range | No | The portal can use a recent range for current reports. |

| Search / Reset | Buttons | n/a | Search runs the query; Reset clears the report filters. |
Jerome County Inmate Record Fields
The In Custody Report is limited but useful. It does not show every fact that a person may expect from a jail roster. Charges and bond are not listed in the current custody report. Current charges may appear in the Daily Arrests report for new bookings, while formal charges and court status belong in Idaho iCourt after the prosecutor files a case.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate's Name | Person listed by name in the PDF report. |
| Hold Agency | Short code for the agency or authority tied to the hold. |
| Booking Number | Numeric or agency-coded local booking identifier. |
| Booking Date | Date of booking in the county jail report. |
| Days In Custody | Day count from booking date to report date. |
| Front Mugshot | Photo column for current custody records in the report. |
Jerome County Jail vs IDOC
County jail custody and state prison custody are different systems. The Jerome County Jail holds local adult detainees, recent arrestees, people awaiting initial appearance, warrant holds, short local sentences, and holds shown by the county report. Sentenced Idaho felony prisoners should be searched through the Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search after transfer to state custody.
| Jerome County Jail | Idaho DOC | |
|---|---|---|
| Who Is Listed | Current local jail detainees and inmates | People under IDOC jurisdiction, including prison, probation, and parole |
| Run By | Jerome County Sheriff's Office | Idaho Department of Correction |
| Lookup Tool | SIRCOMM In Custody Report | IDOC Resident/Client Search |
| Search Clue | Name, booking number, hold agency, booking date | Last name or IDOC number, with first name optional |
State and Federal Inmate Search
IDOC has no prison location listed in Jerome County, but it is still the correct source after a person is sentenced to state custody. The IDOC search requires either a last name or IDOC number and says its database updates daily, though it may not reflect the most current location or status. The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to the present, and ICE ODLS is the separate immigration custody locator.
The IDOC Resident/Client Search page is the statewide option for sentenced Idaho custody rather than county jail custody.
Use the county report first for a recent Jerome County arrest. Use IDOC, BOP, or ICE when the person has moved out of county jail custody or was never housed in the Jerome County Jail.
Jerome County Detention Facilities
Jerome County's public facility map resolves to one local detention facility. City of Jerome police arrests feed into the county process, and no separate city jail for Jerome, Eden, Hazelton, or other county communities was located in official research. State, federal, and immigration custody are handled through separate systems after transfer.
- Jerome County Jail - sheriff-operated local adult detention facility for current county custody, bookings, local sentences, warrants, and holds shown in the report data.
