Bonneville County Jail Roster
The official local inmate lookup is the Bonneville County jail inmate list. It is a free public roster from the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office. The county source says the jail roster is updated once per hour, while the sheriff roster page says it is updated hourly when working and may sometimes have update issues. When the roster seems wrong, stale, or incomplete, the sheriff tells users to call the jail directly at 208-529-1315.
The roster is narrow by design. It shows the person as housed at the jail, but the sheriff's jail landing page states that the records system does not allow exact charges or bond amounts to be published online. For those details, call a Detention Deputy. Court case facts, filed charges, hearings, pleas, and dispositions are separate court records that may appear in iCourt after the prosecutor or court files the case. Jail custody and court case status should not be treated as the same record.
The Bonneville County Sheriff's jail team page gives the local facility context, including the jail address, command staff, capacity, and jail programs.
That jail team source is useful for facility facts, while the roster page is the direct inmate lookup tool.
Use Bonneville County Inmate Search
The public Bonneville County inmate roster presents a table rather than a full search form. A user can open the inmate list and use the browser's find feature or scan the table by name. The inmate ID is important for jail mail and should be copied exactly when writing to an inmate or asking jail staff about custody status.
- Open the official Bonneville County jail inmate list from the sheriff website.
- Use page search in the browser or scan the list by last name.
- Compare first name, last name, image, inmate ID, and housing location before assuming a match.
- Call 208-529-1315 when charges, bond, or a roster update issue must be confirmed.
- Use iCourt for filed criminal or traffic case records after a court case exists.
The jail landing page also links to the inmate list, bonding, visiting, mail, gifts, property, PREA information, and VINE. The Bonneville County Jail landing page is the best hub when the inmate record question involves more than a name lookup.
Use that jail hub for custody services, then use the roster table when the immediate task is to confirm who is currently housed.
Bonneville County Inmate Search Fields
The roster does not expose a formal name, booking number, or date search form in the captured research. It publishes a visible table with limited columns. That makes the field inventory different from many jail systems: the page itself is the result list, and the user searches within the page or calls the jail for anything beyond the visible fields.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Browser/page search only | Optional | The public roster page presents a table; no formal online search form was visible. |
| Images | Result column | N/A | Mugshot or image thumbnail column on the roster. |
| Inmate ID | Result column | N/A | Unique number needed for mail and useful for phone confirmation. |
| Last Name | Result column | N/A | Roster is visible by name and can be scanned by last name. |
| First Name | Result column | N/A | Use with last name and image to reduce false matches. |
| Location | Result column | N/A | Examples observed include 2 DORM, WR DORM, PINE, and SPEC HOUS. |
Bonneville County Inmate Profile
The public inmate profile in Bonneville County is really a roster row, not a detailed booking sheet. The research observed sample names, inmate IDs, and housing locations, but did not identify public charges, bond, booking date, or court date fields. That is not an omission to fill with outside guesses. The sheriff's own explanation is that the records system prevents exact charges and bond amounts from being published on the page.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Image | Public roster image or thumbnail for the housed inmate. |
| Inmate ID | Unique jail identifier used for mail and custody questions. |
| Last Name | Person's last name as listed on the jail roster. |
| First Name | Person's first name as listed on the jail roster. |
| Location | Housing location shown by the jail, such as dorm or special housing labels. |
| Charges | Not visible publicly on the roster; call 208-529-1315. |
| Bond amount | Not visible publicly on the roster; call a Detention Deputy. |
| Court date | Not shown on the roster; check iCourt or contact the court. |
The official inmate list page is the source for the visible fields and hourly update notice.
The public table is enough to identify a housed person, but it should be paired with jail and court contacts for a full custody or case answer.
Bonneville County Jail Facility
The current Bonneville County Jail opened in November 1998 with an original capacity of 284 beds and has expanded to a current operational capacity of 533 beds according to the sheriff's jail team page. It is separate from the courthouse. That local distinction matters because court records, sheriff records, and jail custody services are on different access paths even though several county justice offices share the Idaho Falls government campus.
Bonneville County Jail
900 Environmental Way
Idaho Falls, ID 83401
Jail operations: 208-529-1315
Current operational capacity: 533 beds.
Bonneville County Sheriff's Office
605 North Capital Ave
Idaho Falls, ID 83402
Main office: 208-529-1375
Dispatch/non-emergency: 208-529-1200
Jail command staff listed in the research includes Capt. Ed Vitacolonna and lieutenants Mike Huston, Brian Johnson, and Lindzie Klucken, with jail extension numbers published on the sheriff's jail team page. General public custody questions should still use the main jail operations line unless a posted staff contact is specifically needed.
Bonneville County Booking Records
Booking is the jail intake side of the justice process. A person may be arrested by BCSO or another law-enforcement agency, processed at the jail, assigned an inmate ID, classified for housing, and later linked to a court case if charges are filed. The jail roster can show that the person is housed, but the case file and the final charge status belong in the court system. For the arrest-to-charge path, the Bonneville County arrest records and court charges page is the closer match.
Bonneville County's jail and court systems intersect at initial appearances, bail, warrants, work release, and sentencing. The Magistrate Division of the District Court may handle initial appearances, bail setting, misdemeanor proceedings, warrants, and preliminary felony examinations. After charges are filed, iCourt can show public case status, hearing dates, docket entries, disposition, and payment eligibility when not sealed or restricted.
Note: A person can appear on the jail roster before a public case record shows all court events, especially near arrest or booking.
Bonneville County and IDOC Search
Local jail custody is not the same as state prison, probation, or parole status. The Bonneville County jail roster covers current local inmates. The Idaho Department of Correction resident/client search covers people under IDOC jurisdiction, including incarcerated residents, probation, or parole records. Use IDOC when a person has moved from county custody to a state sentence or when the question is about statewide supervision.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Required unless IDOC number used | Partial search accepted with at least the first two characters. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Use to narrow results. |
| IDOC Number | Text or number | Required unless last name used | Partial search accepted with at least the first three digits. |
| Search | Button | Yes | Runs the IDOC search. |
| Reset | Button | No | Clears fields. |
The IDOC search is a statewide custody and supervision tool. It should not be used as a substitute for the Bonneville County jail roster when the person may be newly booked, awaiting a local court date, or held on a local warrant.
The IDOC resident/client search page documents the state search fields and notices.
Use IDOC for state custody or supervision, and use the jail roster for current Bonneville County Jail housing.
BCSO also links to VINE for free, secure, confidential custody status and criminal case notifications. The sheriff roster text references a mobile BCSO app for a VINE-fed inmate list, but the research did not locate official App Store or Google Play URLs.
Bonneville County Inmate Visitation
Bonneville County uses onsite and remote video visitation. Visitors must have a video visitation account and be Telmate Verified. Accounts can be created at the Telmate kiosk in the jail lobby or online through GettingOut. Visits are scheduled in advance through the kiosk or online, and the sheriff page asks users to schedule at least 24 hours in advance so the resident can accept the visit.
| Item | Rule |
|---|---|
| Location | Telmate stations in the jail lobby for local visits. |
| Scheduling | All visits are scheduled in advance through the kiosk or online. |
| Free visit | One free 30-minute local visit can be scheduled and must be accepted by the resident. |
| Visitor count | Two-person limit per booth. |
| Children | Parent or legal guardian must accompany children under 18; children under 12 must be continually supervised. |
| Monitoring | Visits may be monitored and restricted by the shift supervisor. |
The jail prohibits clothing with messages, signs, nudity, sexual behavior, three-way calls, phone use during a visit, and inappropriate use. Late arrival affects visit length. Scheduled visits must be canceled 24 hours in advance to receive credit. Special visits may be approved for people traveling more than 60 miles or for other extenuating circumstances.
The jail visitation rules page provides the video visitation rules and Telmate or GettingOut account requirements.
Those posted rules control local and remote visit setup, so visitors should check the jail page before scheduling.
Bonneville County Inmate Mail
Bonneville County Jail changed mail processing on November 15, 2021. Normal personal correspondence is not sent to the jail building. It is sent to a Phoenix, Maryland processing address, scanned, and delivered digitally to the inmate's Viapath tablet account by Earth Class. The inmate ID from the roster is required for mail, and mail sent to the wrong local address may be returned.
| Mail Type | Address and Rule |
|---|---|
| Personal correspondence | Bonneville County Jail, full inmate name and inmate ID, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. |
| Books and magazines | Full inmate name and inmate ID, Bonneville County Jail, 605 North Capital, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402. |
| Approved vendors | Books and magazines must come directly from an approved vendor listed by the jail. |
| Amazon rule | As of July 1, 2026, books and publications are not accepted from Amazon or Amazon sellers. |
| Legal mail | Authorized legal mail follows the jail's posted exception rules. |
The inmate mail page explains the Phoenix processing address, scanned delivery, and Viapath tablet delivery. Mail rules are unusually specific in Bonneville County, so the current sheriff mail page should be checked before sending anything.
Bonneville County Inmate Bond
Bond questions should go to the jail when the person is housed and the public roster does not show the amount. The sheriff bonding page explains surety and cash bond options, warns that cash bond is not a fine, and notes that failure to appear can lead to forfeiture and a new warrant. Each bond also has a separate $10 Sheriff's Bond fee that must be paid apart from the bond amount and with exact change.
The jail bonding information page is the official local source for surety bond, cash bond, separate sheriff fee, and failure-to-appear warnings.
Use the bonding page for payment concepts, but call the jail for the inmate-specific bond amount that is not published on the roster.
Bonneville County Inmate Funds
Inmates cannot receive gifts directly. Money may be deposited through AccessCorrections.com or by calling 866-345-1884. Inmates can use funds for hygiene items, snacks, craft items, dental care, and medical clinic visits. The research source lists a $10.00 dental or medical visit cost, while also noting that indigent inmates are not denied medical or dental services and receive hygiene items and stamped envelopes.
- Use Access Corrections online for commissary deposits.
- Use 866-345-1884 for phone deposits.
- Do not send direct gifts to the jail.
- Use the jail mail rules for books and approved publications.
- Call 208-529-1315 when an inmate ID is needed for mail or custody confirmation.
Note: Commissary, mail, visitation, and custody status are jail services, while filed charges and dispositions belong to the court record.
