Uintah Release Source Routes
Three official routes establish the starting facts. The Uintah County jail contact page identifies the possible receiving facility and its public number. The Daggett County Sheriff page is the place to identify which agency accepted a named arrestee. If the record later shows state commitment, the UDC Offender Search replaces the county-jail route. These sources should be used in that order when the custodian is not yet known.
Uintah Jail Release Role
The Uintah County Jail / Public Safety Complex is an active neighboring county facility operated by the Uintah County Sheriff. It may be a receiving or holding agency after an arrest in Daggett County. That is a lead, not a universal rule. The reviewed official material does not establish a standing arrangement under which every Daggett detainee is booked in Uintah. Daggett’s Sheriff coordinates with surrounding agencies, so another custodian may be used in a particular case.
This distinction matters because the agency that actually booked and held the person owns the dispositive jail custody log. A Daggett incident report can identify the arrest and transport. It may also name the receiving facility. If Uintah accepted the person, its record should be requested for the booking number, intake date, charges recorded at booking, release date and type, releasing authority, and destination or transfer notation. If Uintah did not hold the person, a Uintah no-result does not prove release.
Uintah Jail Release Destinations
A person leaving Uintah County Jail may return to the community, move to another county facility, enter Utah Department of Corrections custody after sentencing, or remain subject to a court order or post-release supervision. “Released” on an agency line must be read with its type and destination. Bond, own-recognizance release, court order, time served, and sentence completion can end the jail stay in the community. Transfer and commitment entries mean custody continued elsewhere.
For a Daggett case, the court record generally remains tied to the court where the case was filed even though another county held the person. The jail exit record proves what Uintah recorded at the end of its custody episode. The Daggett or state court docket explains the underlying order and later case result. If the exit states UDC, the state offender search and Board record become the correct next sources. If it names another jail or federal agency, continue with that custodian.
| Exit notation | Custody meaning | Confirmation route |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | Community release while the case may remain open | Uintah exit entry and court docket |
| Time served | Named jail term ended, subject to other holds | Custody log and judgment |
| UDC commitment | State custody continued after jail departure | UDC Offender Search and Board |
| Other agency transfer | Custody continued with a new holder | Destination agency record |
Confirm a Uintah Jail Release
Begin with identity and custody, not a broad roster search. Similar names, recent transport, and system lag can lead to the wrong conclusion. Use a known date of birth, incident number, booking number, or case number when the agency permits it. Ask whether the person was booked at the Public Safety Complex and whether the final entry was a community exit or an interagency transfer.
- Call the Daggett County Sheriff and ask which agency received the named person.
- If Uintah is confirmed, contact the official jail number and provide enough detail to distinguish the person.
- Request the booking and release entry, including date, type, authority, and destination.
- Open the Daggett court case to distinguish intake charges from disposition and sentence.
- If the record shows state commitment, check UDC and Board sources rather than a county roster.
A current-custody roster, when an agency offers one, is designed to show people still held. A released person may disappear from that live view. The official Uintah contact page reviewed for this project does not document a public 24-hour or 72-hour release feed, so none should be assumed. For a named-person fallback across systems, use the Daggett County released-inmate lookup.
Uintah Jail Records Contact
The official Uintah County jail page supplies the facility address and public telephone number. It does not, in the reviewed research, publish a special Daggett release desk or prove exclusive custody of Daggett arrestees. Use the main number to confirm the proper records channel after Daggett identifies Uintah as the holder.
Uintah County Jail / Public Safety ComplexUintah County Sheriff
641 East 300 South
Vernal, UT 84078
Phone: 435-781-1300
Ask for records created by Uintah. A focused request should state the full name and identifiers, approximate booking dates, arresting agency, known Daggett incident or court number, and the precise release fields sought. Request the release date and time, release type, authority, and destination together. If a field is withheld or not held, ask which agency created the responsive record rather than assuming the data never existed.
The Daggett Sheriff remains the source for its own arrest or transport report. Its office is at 590 South Sheriff’s Way, PO Box 219, Manila, and can be reached at 435-784-3255 during posted weekday office hours. Consolidated Dispatch in Vernal uses 435-789-4222. Those contacts can identify the actual custody handoff, but the receiving jail remains the source for its booking and exit log.
Uintah Release Record Fields
A useful release response connects one person to one booking episode. Requesting only “is the person there?” can produce a present-status answer with no historical exit detail. Instead, ask for a field set that separates legal authority from physical movement. Charges shown at booking are intake allegations and do not establish the final result of the case.
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Booking number and date | Identifies the exact Uintah custody episode |
| Arresting and holding agencies | Connects the Daggett event to the actual custodian |
| Release date and time | Records when Uintah custody ended |
| Release type or reason | Separates bond, order, time served, and transfer |
| Releasing authority | Points to the court or agency decision |
| Destination | Shows community exit or continued custody when public |
Retention is not the same as online display. No sourced Uintah retention period was provided for these records, so a page should not promise that an old log or photograph survives. Ask the records office whether the requested year remains in the governing series. For a Daggett filing, Utah Courts Xchange or the clerk can preserve the case chronology after the jail’s live custody data changes.
Uintah Release Versus UDC
County jail and state-prison records are not interchangeable. Uintah County Jail holds local detainees and other people in county custody. UDC covers people committed to state corrections and those currently on UDC probation or parole. A pretrial detainee does not enter the UDC search merely because the arrest arose in Daggett County. Conversely, someone transferred from Uintah to UDC did not gain community release when the county booking closed.
UDC’s public result can show an offender number, location, housing facility, “Release Date/Type,” and case-manager information for people within its current-supervision scope. A fully discharged person may no longer appear. The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole decision can corroborate authorized state release or parole, but an order does not by itself establish the exact physical exit time. For that, use the releasing custodian’s event record and any VINE alert, then verify conflicts directly.
- County release
- The end of the named county-jail episode, either to the community or another custodian.
- Commitment
- A court-directed move into state correctional authority after sentencing.
- Parole
- Conditional prison release under Board authority with AP&P supervision.
- Discharge
- The end of the stated correctional or supervision authority.
Limits of Uintah Release Searches
The official sources support a cautious route. They do not support a claim that Uintah always receives Daggett arrestees, that a public recent-release feed exists, or that a no-result equals release. Data can also lag around a new booking, transport, or exit. Record the date and source of every status check. When timing matters, seek the holding agency’s dated exit record and the court’s or Board’s legal authority.
Federal and immigration custody require separate systems. A county entry reading “released to ICE” or “released to federal authority” records the end of Uintah custody, not freedom from confinement. BOP covers sentenced federal prisoners, while federal pretrial custody may require a court docket or U.S. Marshals records. ICE’s locator is current-status focused and a missing result can reflect timing, scope, or transfer. Follow the destination rather than relabeling it as a community release.
Note: A Daggett court origin, Uintah booking, and later UDC commitment can all belong to one continuous custody path held in three record systems.
