Lookup Blaine County Detention Center Inmates

Blaine County Detention Center Overview

The Blaine County Detention Center is operated by the Blaine County Sheriff's Office in Hailey. It is the primary and only clearly identified detention facility in the county research. The jail holds people just arrested, people awaiting trial, sentenced county inmates, work-release inmates, juveniles for up to 48 hours, other-jurisdiction holds, and people waiting for Idaho Department of Correction transfer. Arresting agencies on the public roster can include the Sheriff's Office, Hailey Police Department, Ketchum Police Department, Bellevue Marshal's Office, IDOC, and other counties when a hold is involved.

The county describes the detention center as a 36,000-square-foot public safety facility with minimum, medium, and maximum security classifications. Detention deputies handle booking, releases, classification, video arraignment, security checks, meal delivery, inmate worker supervision, medical screening coordination, transport, and courtroom security. That broad role matters for an inmate search because the same public roster can show new bookings, sentenced status, warrants, work release, IDOC holds, ICE holds, and quick releases.

Blaine County Detention Center Capacity

The detention center has 90 published inmate beds. Blaine County breaks those beds into 66 general-population beds in four pods, 20 work-release beds in segregated dorms, and four juvenile holding beds. On June 8, 2026, the official county-linked current roster showed 58 results. That count was about 64.4 percent of rated bed capacity, but it was a point-in-time roster snapshot rather than an official average daily population.

The official detention-center overview is shown below as the local source for the facility's capacity, bed split, and jail description.

The facility image supports the local capacity discussion and should be read with the roster count because the roster changes as bookings, releases, and transfers occur.

Blaine County Detention Center Lookup

Use the county jail roster for current Blaine County Detention Center custody. The official county detention roster page embeds the county-linked full roster iframe. The roster is a live list rather than a search form, so a user should check the timestamp and use browser find for a name, charge word, agency, IDOC, ICE Hold, or status term. If the person was booked and quickly released, check the county's Recent Arrests feed too. For sentenced prison custody, use IDOC instead of the county jail roster.

1. Open the official detention roster or the direct roster iframe.
2. Read the page timestamp before relying on current custody status.
3. Scroll or use browser find for the person's last name.
4. Compare the entry's offenses, agency, booking date, and status with any court or warrant details.
5. Check Recent Arrests, sheriff records, IDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink if the person is not on the current list.

For a broader roster walkthrough, the Blaine County jail inmate records page separates current custody, recent arrests, records requests, and state or federal locator fallbacks.

Blaine County Detention Address

The sheriff and detention facility share the official public safety location in Hailey. The main sheriff number is used for general records and office contact. Detention-specific questions about visitation and bond are directed to the detention number published in the research. Accident, offense, booking, and older jail-record questions may require the sheriff records process rather than a roster search.

Blaine County Detention Visitation

Visitation is built around GettingOut tablet visitation. Blaine County lists home, mobile, and jail-lobby visiting-console options. The official visitation page says inmates receive 60 free minutes per week, with extra visit time priced at $0.25 per minute. Two visitors may visit at one time. Adult visitors need valid legal photo ID, and minors must be with a parent or legal guardian. Special visits for people traveling more than 60 miles require advance notice and proof.

The Blaine County visitation page provides the county's GettingOut tablet visitation rules and daily schedule.

Visitor rules also include search on entry, no food or beverages in the visiting area, no smoking in the public safety facility, and appropriate clothing.

Blaine County Detention Mail and Money

Personal mail is digitally delivered through the tablet system and does not go to the Hailey facility address. The research gives a Phoenix, Maryland P.O. box format for personal mail and says callers should contact the Detention Center to obtain the inmate jacket number. Legal mail and cashier-check or money-order payments use the physical facility address. Books must come straight from a publisher in original packaging, and the handbook limits paperback books while rejecting hardbacks.

Blaine County Detention Booking

Booking at the Blaine County Detention Center follows an arrest, warrant service, or agency hold. Detention deputies book and release inmates, process legal and financial documents, assess security classification, manage clothing and property exchange, and coordinate medical, dental, and mental-health screening through licensed providers. Ivy Medical is named in the research as the jail healthcare provider for medication, screenings, and sick call. Video arraignment is supervised in the facility and in the courtroom, linking jail intake to the first court appearance.

Classification affects housing and security level. The handbook says reclassification may occur when charges are added or reduced, after sentencing, or after serious discipline. Inmates held more than 30 days receive classification review, with additional reviews expected every 30 days after that. Property release requires an Inmate Property Form, and the recipient must have verifiable identification.

Blaine County Work Release and Bond

The work-release program has a dedicated 20-bed dorm allocation. Blaine County describes work release as a way for low-risk offenders to maintain employment while serving a sentence and returning nightly. Fees are $175 per week for Blaine County inmates and $245 per week for out-of-county inmates. Eligibility is tied to security classification and public-safety screening, so the roster label alone does not prove a person can use the program.

Blaine County Detention Records

Records that do not appear on the current roster may require the sheriff records process. The Sheriff's Office records page says Idaho law gives citizens the right to examine and copy public records in the Sheriff's Office possession if not exempt. Written requests should go to the office where records are kept. The custodian generally has three working days to respond for Idaho residents. Some records may be withheld while a case is under investigation or pending adjudication.

Accident and offense reports for involved parties can be requested free of charge, while insurance company requests cost $5 and each disc with photographs, audio, or video costs $5. Booking records, older releases, and mugshots not visible online are practical reasons to use the records path. The general county public-records form warns users not to send sheriff accident, incident, or case report requests there, because those requests must go directly to the Sheriff to avoid delay.

About Blaine County Detention Center

The facility sits near Friedman Memorial Airport on the airport and industrial side of Hailey. Visitors coming from Ketchum and Sun Valley generally use ID-75 south into Hailey, then local streets to Aviation Drive. Visitors from Bellevue or Carey generally approach from the south or southeast. Official sources do not publish a visitor parking-rate table, bus-route directions, or a dedicated ADA entrance description, so call before travel if those details matter.

The jail also has locally specific program and condition details. The handbook describes grievances, classification review, recreation, medical diets, property rules, and tablet delivery of personal mail. The detention page says allegations of sexual abuse, assault, or harassment are referred to an agency with authority to investigate. The 2025 annual activity report listed 800 jail bookings and 783 jail releases, while 2025 press releases noted detention deputy academy training and community forums about BCSO and ICE policy.
