Walla Walla County Jail Roster Overview
The official Walla Walla Inmate Inquiry is a New World Systems / Tyler Technologies roster linked from the county corrections page as "Inmate Search." The portal is free to use and no login was observed in the research capture. It can return current and prior subject records unless the "In Custody" checkbox is selected. When the current-custody filter was inspected on July 2, 2026, records showed "In Custody = Yes" and the Housing Facility column named Walla Walla County Corrections Department.
The jail roster is not a complete criminal-history file and it is not the statewide prison locator. It covers the local jail operated by the Walla Walla County Corrections Department at 300 West Alder Street, in the county law-enforcement system headed by Sheriff Mark Crider. Roster entries may include people arrested by Walla Walla Police Department, College Place Police Department, the Sheriff's Office, and some other origin agencies when the roster shows that booking origin. Sentenced people transferred to Washington State Department of Corrections custody belong in the DOC incarcerated search. Federal and immigration custody use separate BOP, U.S. Marshals, or ICE channels.
The official corrections page at Walla Walla County Corrections links the roster, WA VINE, CTEL/InmateSales, Access Corrections, and MyCarePack.
How to Use the Walla Walla County Inmate Roster
Start with the official Walla Walla Inmate Search portal. A last name is not the only possible search value; the form also supports subject number, booking number, booking-date range, the current-custody checkbox, and the housing-facility dropdown. The safest answer to "how do I find someone in the Walla Walla jail" is to search current custody first, then widen the search if the person may have been released or booked under an earlier record.
- Open the official Walla Walla Inmate Search URL linked from the county corrections page.
- Check "In Custody" when the goal is to find someone currently jailed at Walla Walla County Corrections Department.
- Search by name if no booking number is known, then compare the subject number, in-custody flag, multiple-bookings flag, and housing facility.
- Use Subject Number or Booking Number when those values appear on court paperwork, bond documents, or a prior roster entry.
- Use Booking From Date and Booking To Date only when the approximate booking period is known.
- Open the linked name to review demographic fields, booking history, bond information, court-info rows, charges, and booking origin.

Walla Walla County Roster Search Fields
The search-field table below follows the official portal fields captured from the New World/Tyler interface. The form does not publish wildcard rules or a required date format in page text, so avoid assuming hidden search syntax. If the first search misses a person, clear the form and try a shorter name string, a known booking number, or the current-custody filter.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Unspecified | Single name box. Full or partial-name searching was supported by the interface, but no wildcard instructions were posted. |
| Subject Number | Text | Unspecified | Local person identifier shown in roster results and detail pages. |
| Booking Number | Text | Unspecified | Booking-specific number. Observed format was YYYY-########. |
| In Custody | Checkbox | No | Title text says "Currently jailed only." Selecting it limits the search to current detainees. |
| Booking From Date | Text/date field | No | Used when the approximate booking period is known. The page text did not state a required format. |
| Booking To Date | Text/date field | No | Pairs with Booking From Date to narrow a booking-date range. |
| Housing Facility | Dropdown | No | Blank option plus Walla Walla County Corrections Department. |
What a Walla Walla County Inmate Profile Shows
What does a roster record show? The inspected profile included demographic, booking, bond, court-info, and charge tables. It did not display a booking photo in the captured county profile. Treat the roster as a jail-status and booking-data source. Court-filed charges, final dispositions, and complete court documents must be checked with Washington Courts and the court of record.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and aliases | Full profile name plus any alias list if one is populated. |
| Subject Number | Local person identifier, separate from a booking number. |
| Demographics | Gender, height, weight, and city/state address information when displayed. |
| Booking Number | Number tied to the specific jail stay. |
| Booking Date | Date and time of intake into the local jail system. |
| Release Date | Blank when the person remains in custody; may populate after release. |
| Prisoner Type | Status category such as "Newly Charged" when entered. |
| Housing Facility | Walla Walla County Corrections Department for the inspected current-custody roster. |
| Total Bond and Bail | Totals across the booking, plus bond-table rows for bond number, type, and amount. |
| Booking Origin | Agency or source of the booking, such as a sheriff's office or police department. |
| Court Info | Charges and court-date table, which can also show no public data. |
| Charge Table | Charge number, description, offense date, docket number, sentence fields, disposition, crime class, and arresting-agency column. |
Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates
Walla Walla County has both a local jail and a major state prison, but the lookup systems are different. The county roster is for pretrial and short-sentence local custody. Washington State Penitentiary is in Walla Walla County, yet it is operated by the Washington State Department of Corrections and holds sentenced state-prison population. If a person has been sentenced and transferred to DOC, search the state locator for DOC number, name, age, and location rather than expecting the county roster to track the prison stay.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Answers |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or short local sentence | Walla Walla Inmate Inquiry | Current custody, prior booking entries, bond tables, charge rows, and housing facility. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Washington State Department of Corrections locator | DOC number, name, age, and state-prison location, including Washington State Penitentiary when applicable. |
| Federal sentence | Federal BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present, subject to BOP release-date cautions. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Current ICE custody by A-number/country or name/country/date of birth. |
| Custody notifications | WA VINE / VINELink | Custody-status notifications, not the official court record or complete jail file. |

Walla Walla County Jail Facilities
The local jail and the state prison should not be blended into one roster. The county jail is the Walla Walla County Corrections Department, which the Facility Map identifies as the primary facility for local inmate records. Washington State Penitentiary is nearby in the same county, but it uses DOC records and prison visiting rules. For facility-specific details, use the county jail page for Walla Walla County Corrections Department or the state facility page for Washington State Penitentiary.

Booking Process in Walla Walla County
A local booking usually starts when an arresting agency transports the person to Walla Walla County Corrections Department. The jail creates or associates a subject record, assigns a booking number, records the booking date and time, enters prisoner type and booking origin, and places the person in the housing facility shown on the roster. The official county page does not publish a minute-by-minute intake timeline or a roster refresh schedule, so custody should be confirmed directly before travel, posting money, or scheduling a visit.
Booking records and court records can diverge. A jail charge row can reflect arrest or booking information, while the prosecutor may later file, amend, reduce, or decline formal charges. Bond fields on the roster can help identify the jail release path, but the correct posting location depends on the court and time of day. The county jail page states that bail for local-court charges is posted at the court during regular business hours, while after-hours bail may be posted at the County Jail. Out-of-county warrant bail is accepted at the jail in cash only at any time.
Visitation Hours and Rules
County jail visitation rules are published more as eligibility requirements than as a weekly timetable. Adults must be 18 or older and have valid identification. Visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. People on active Department of Corrections supervision are ineligible to visit at the jail. Because the official corrections page did not publish a day-by-day jail visit schedule, call 509-524-5431 before making a trip to confirm the current schedule, visitor processing, and any temporary restrictions.
| Visitation Item | Walla Walla County Jail Rule | Action Before Travel |
|---|---|---|
| Adult visitors | Must be 18 or older with valid identification. | Bring current ID and confirm the person is still in custody. |
| Minors | Under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. | Call the jail if custody or guardianship paperwork may be questioned. |
| DOC supervision | Individuals on active DOC supervision are ineligible to visit at the jail. | Do not assume eligibility if supervision status applies. |
| Schedule | Specific days and hours were not posted in the official corrections source. | Call 509-524-5431 before travel. |
| Phone, video, e-message | CTEL/InmateSales is linked from the county corrections page. | Set up service through the vendor after confirming custody. |
How to Contact a Walla Walla County Inmate
Mail should be addressed as: INDIVIDUAL NAME c/o Walla Walla County Corrections Department, 300 W. Alder, Walla Walla, WA 99362. The county's mail rules require a return address and allow no stickers or writing on the envelope other than the addressee and return address. Stickers, sexually explicit photographs, and third-party communications from inmates in other institutions are not allowed.
Phone accounts, visits, and e-message services are routed through CTEL/InmateSales, which the county corrections page links as an official vendor. If unwanted jail calls need to be blocked, the research source lists 509-524-5440 during normal business hours. For custody-status notifications rather than direct contact, the county page links WA VINE / VINELink. No official dedicated Walla Walla sheriff or police mobile app with a roster, warrant search, or records request feature was located in the app sweep.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The county jail page says money may be deposited through the lobby kiosk or Access Corrections online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with phone deposits available at 1-866-345-1884. The jail accepts only money from individuals at the time of booking; after booking, outside deposits use the lobby kiosk or Access Corrections. Care packages are routed through MyCarePack. If a person is released before receiving commissary, the county says the person can pick it up at the jail during regular business hours with proper ID, while commissary more than 30 days old is forfeited.
Note: Confirm current custody with the jail before sending money, ordering a package, scheduling a visit, or driving to the facility.
