Daggett County Inmate Population Lookup
Daggett County inmate population checks begin with the sheriff office because the county jail is no longer an active local option. The jail closed in February 2017, and the county says reopening does not appear likely. That changes the search. You are not looking for a live roster so much as a current custody location, a county contact, and a records trail that can survive a transfer. Daggett County still keeps official pages for the sheriff, the jail notice, and GRAMA requests, so the path is clear even when the building is not. Start local, then move to state tools and neighboring county housing when you need the current answer.
Daggett County Inmate Population Basics
The official county homepage is still the county's main entry point. Daggett County is small, with a population of 963 people, and the sheriff page says the county also serves nearly 2 million visitors each year. That is a lot of traffic for a small county, which helps explain why the office keeps a tight contact path. The county page gives you the local government frame first, then the sheriff office and GRAMA pages carry the custody and records work. That order matters when the county jail itself is not open.
The sheriff office page at daggettcounty.org/25/Sheriff is the place to use for the county law enforcement contact path. The office is dispatched from Consolidated Dispatch in Vernal, Utah, and the public contact line is 435-784-3255. The county contact block in the research points to 95 North 1st West, Manila, Utah 84046. That is the right county-side frame to keep in mind when you are trying to sort out where a Daggett matter belongs. Because the jail is closed, the sheriff office matters more than a roster page would in a larger county.
The county also keeps a direct link to the jail status page at daggettcounty.org/104/Jail. That page states that the jail closed in February 2017 and does not appear likely to reopen. It also says the commissioners and sheriff department are reviewing options. That is useful because it tells you the county is not hiding the fact that the local jail is gone. The official page still exists to keep the public from guessing.
The Daggett County homepage at daggettcounty.org is the source for the image below and the right county base for an inmate population question because it gives you the office tree before you reach records or state tools.
The county homepage image shows the official Daggett County entry point. It is the best local reference when the jail itself is not operating.
Daggett County Jail Closure
The jail page at daggettcounty.org/104/Jail is the key local source here. It says the Daggett County Jail closed in February 2017 and does not appear likely to reopen. The page also says inquiries should go through the sheriff department at 435-784-3255. That is the clearest signal on the whole site. For an inmate population question, the county is telling you to treat the sheriff office as the public contact point, not the jail building.
Because the jail closed, current inmate housing now falls outside the county. The research says neighboring counties handle the active housing side. That is the practical part of the search. If you are trying to track a person who was booked in Daggett County, you may need to check a county that actually has a live jail. The Daggett page does not pretend otherwise. It keeps the public aware that the local facility is closed and that a search may need a second county check.
The official Utah Department of Corrections offender search is the best state backup when a Daggett County booking moved out of local custody. It shows people currently under state jurisdiction only, so it is a clean way to see whether the person left county control. That tool is not a jail roster, but it does help when the county jail is closed and the question has to be answered somewhere else.
If the county question still feels open, the offender search gives you a clean state check. It is the fastest way to see whether custody moved beyond Daggett County.
Daggett County's jail closure means the inmate population question is really a housing question now, and the state offender search is the most useful public backup for that shift.
The Utah Department of Corrections offender search at corrections.utah.gov/offender-search/ is the source for the state backup image below and the official fallback when Daggett County no longer has a local jail answer.
The offender search image gives Daggett County a current-custody backup. It fits the page because the local jail is closed and the state tool fills the gap.
Daggett County Records and GRAMA
Daggett County's records path is official and direct. The GRAMA Request Information page at daggettcounty.org/550/GRAMA-Requests says the county GRAMA officer handles all requests within the county. The page also says you can download the fillable form and submit it by email, mail, or in person. That is important for a county jail question because the county is telling you where the formal record path lives. It is not asking you to rely on a third-party index or an old booking page.
The GRAMA form itself asks for the requester name, mailing address, daytime telephone number if available, and a reasonably specific description of the record. That is the legal base. For a Daggett County inmate population search, it helps to add the full name, date of birth, approximate incarceration dates, and charges if known. Those details make the request easier to match to the right person and the right file. In a small county, that kind of precision matters even more because names can overlap and old bookings may be sparse.
Historical records can also sit in the county archive system. The Daggett County archive pages make clear that older material is preserved and searchable, which gives the county a second way to locate older public documents. For custody history, that means a GRAMA request can be followed by an archive check if the record is older than the current jail status. The county does not promise a live roster, but it does preserve the public trail.
The GRAMA request page is the right place to start when you need older Daggett County jail records or a formal written response. For a county this small, the GRAMA path is the real records door. It is the best way to move from a closed jail question to a usable public file.
The Utah courts district courts page at utcourts.gov/en/courts/district-courts.html is the source for the court image below, and the main Utah courts site remains the broader court reference if a case moved into the legal system.
The Utah State Courts image supports the records section with an official court reference. It is helpful because Daggett County custody questions can end up in court even when the jail is closed.
Daggett County State Fallbacks
Daggett County needs state tools more than most counties because the local jail is closed. The Utah courts home page at utcourts.gov is the best court reference when a custody issue has moved into the legal system. It helps you see how a local jail question becomes a court file question. That is a useful shift to track in a county where the jail no longer handles current housing.
VINELink is another useful fallback. It gives custody alerts and can help you follow a person if the housing location changes. That is especially helpful when the county page cannot show a live inmate line because the jail is closed. The Bureau of Criminal Identification at bci.utah.gov/ is another state resource if the question becomes a broader criminal history or identity issue instead of a simple location check. Each tool has a different job, and Daggett County works better when you use the right one for the right question.
Note: Daggett County inmate population searches are easiest when you treat the county jail as closed and move quickly to the sheriff office, GRAMA, and the Utah state tools.
The state fallback tools keep the Daggett County inmate population search moving even though the local jail is no longer open.
VINELink at vinelink.com is the source for the notification image below and the quickest way to watch a custody change over time.
The VINELink image gives Daggett County a notification-based fallback. It is useful when custody may have shifted to another county or another facility.
