Find Daggett County Jail Records

Daggett Jail Release Status

The official Daggett County jail notice says the facility closed in February 2017 and does not appear likely to reopen. It has no present inmate population, release desk, booking-photo feed, current roster, or legitimate 24-hour or 72-hour release list. A search result from a private directory that still calls the jail operational should not override the county’s own notice. Current Daggett arrests may lead to another agency’s jail, but the receiving location must be confirmed for the named person.

UDC’s current jail-program booklet gives useful context. It lists 86 physical beds at the former facility, yet zero contracted beds and zero beds available to Corrections. Those numbers describe inactive space, not capacity that can accept a new booking. The same official source says all state inmates were removed on February 17, 2017. Thus, a person cannot be newly released from Daggett County Jail today, and the lack of a Daggett roster says nothing about that person’s present status.

Daggett Jail Transfers Were Not Releases

The end of a Daggett jail entry does not always mean release to the community. During the 2017 investigation, the Utah Department of Corrections reported moving 80 state inmates out of the county facility. That was an interagency transfer. Each person remained in custody after leaving the Daggett building, so the transfer date cannot be presented as the person’s release date.

This distinction controls the historical search. A local detainee might have left on bond, by court order, after time served, or after a sentence ended. A contracted state prisoner could have moved to another county jail or a UDC prison. Ask for the release type, date and time, releasing authority, and destination. When the record says “transfer,” “released to UDC,” or “other agency,” continue the search with that receiving custodian.

Daggett Release Records Cross Counties

Daggett release verification is unusually cross-jurisdictional. The Sheriff coordinates with surrounding and federal law-enforcement agencies, and dispatch is consolidated in Vernal. No official source establishes that every current Daggett arrestee goes to one fixed jail. Uintah County Jail is a sensible nearby lead, but it is not a proven exclusive custodian for all Daggett arrests.

Start by asking the Daggett County Sheriff which agency accepted the named person. Then contact that facility for the booking and exit record. If the receiving facility was Uintah, the Uintah County Jail release route explains the distinct custody record. A Daggett court case can remain in Daggett even when another county held the person. Geography alone does not identify the agency that created the booking photo, roster entry, or release log.

Search Daggett Historical Releases

The Daggett County Sheriff is the first official route for a historical local booking, transport, or release record. A narrow request is more useful than asking for every record about a name. Include the person’s full name and known identifiers, an incident or case number if available, an approximate date range, and the event location. State which fields are needed, including booking number, actual release or transfer time, release type, authority, destination agency if public, and any retained booking photograph.

1. Confirm that the event involved the former Daggett County Jail or the Daggett Sheriff.
2. Ask whether the Sheriff retains the custody log for that year and which record series governs it.
3. Submit the Sheriff report form or the county’s broader online GRAMA form with a precise description.
4. If the answer identifies another jail, send the release request to that receiving agency.
5. Compare the agency response with the court case, UDC record, or Board order as the custody track requires.

A fully discharged person may not appear in UDC’s public system, which is limited to people now incarcerated by or under probation or parole supervision with the department. For old state-prison custody, a Board decision or court record can be more durable. The full Daggett County released-inmate search separates county, state, federal, and immigration routes when the first record does not settle the question.

Daggett Jail Records Contact

The former jail has no active records counter. Requests route to the agency identified by Daggett County as the current inquiry contact. Office hours matter for a phone inquiry, while Consolidated Dispatch is the separate route for current agency coordination. The Sheriff can say whether Daggett holds the requested record or whether a receiving jail created it.

The specific Sheriff report-request form states a $20 initial police-report charge, $1 per photograph, and free inspection or viewing. Those listed charges do not prove that an old booking photograph or a complete release log still exists. The broader Daggett County GRAMA form publishes no fixed release-record fee and lets the requester select inspection or copies, set a fee ceiling, and seek a waiver or expedited handling on a stated basis.

Utah GRAMA requests must identify records rather than ask an office to answer open-ended questions. Filing itself is free, but actual costs may be charged under state law. Ordinary responses are generally due as soon as reasonably possible and within ten business days, subject to extraordinary circumstances. Request electronic delivery and an estimate before costs exceed the stated ceiling.

Daggett Release Request Screens

The county’s closed-jail page records the facility’s present status and directs jail questions to the Sheriff.

The captured notice helps prevent a current search from being sent to an inactive jail or a stale private roster.

The online Daggett County GRAMA form is the broader route when a police-report request does not fit the record sought.

Its fields support a precise request, a copy or inspection choice, a cost ceiling, and a stated basis for waiver or expedited review.

Verify Daggett Release Authority

A custody log shows what the holding agency recorded. It does not always show the final court outcome. Utah Courts Xchange or the appropriate clerk can supply case history, disposition, sentence, warrant entries, and later orders. Search both justice and district court routes when the level is unclear. Older Daggett coverage may be incomplete, so a missing electronic result can require a clerk request.

For a former contracted state prisoner, use UDC and the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole. UDC’s current public detail includes location, housing facility, and “Release Date/Type,” but only for people still in the system’s stated scope. A parole release ends prison confinement while supervision continues. A discharge ends supervision or sentence authority. A Board order can authorize a release date, yet the holding agency or UDC event is still needed to confirm that the physical exit occurred.

Identity checks are just as important as source choice. Compare a full name with a booking, offender, incident, or court number and a date of birth when the system provides one. Do not join two custody episodes merely because names match. A dated agency response should state which record series was searched and which requested fields were not found, restricted, or held by another custodian.

Release

An exit from a named custody episode, possibly to the community or another agency.

Transfer

A move between custodians while confinement continues.

Parole

Conditional release from prison under Board authority and AP&P supervision.

Discharge

The end of the stated sentence or supervision authority.

Note: Keep the date of each search because court, UDC, VINE, and agency records serve different scopes and can update at different times.
