Sevier County Inmate Population Overview
The adult Sevier County inmate population centers on the Sevier County Sheriff's Office and the Sevier County Jail in Richfield. Official sheriff material describes the jail as a county correctional facility that holds local pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, people housed for three counties, and Utah Department of Corrections placement inmates. That mix matters because a person in the building is not always there on a new Sevier County charge. Some are awaiting court. Some are serving a county sentence. Some may be state inmates in a county placement bed.
The adult jail is different from the Central Utah Youth Center, which is a Utah Juvenile Justice and Youth Services facility in Richfield. Youth detention records are more restricted and do not appear in the adult jail roster. State-sentenced adults can also leave the county jail path and move into the Utah Department of Corrections offender search. Federal and immigration cases use still different systems.
Sevier County Inmate Population Statistics
Official Sevier County jail population data is strongest for capacity and 2025 booked-person demographics. Sheriff Nathan J. Curtis's welcome page says 21 detention deputies operate a 146-bed correctional facility. The sheriff app's 2025 demographic analysis reports 589 persons booked into Sevier County Jail during 2025. No official average daily population figure was located in the sheriff materials reviewed, and the monthly stats PDFs are law-enforcement activity reports rather than jail daily-count reports.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Jail rated capacity | 146 beds | Sheriff welcome page, inspected July 1, 2026 |
| Detention staffing | 21 deputies | Sheriff welcome page |
| Persons booked into Sevier County Jail | 589 | Official 2025 inmate demographics page |
| Average daily population | Not located | Monthly reports reviewed did not publish ADP |
The 2025 demographics source is useful because it counts booked persons by sex, charge class, status, citizenship, age, and several jail coding fields. It should not be read as a live head count for any single day. Bookings are events over the year. A daily population count would answer a different question.
The official inmate demographics source is shown below as it appeared in the sheriff app data. It supplies the most detailed local population breakdown located for this build.
The demographic source supports local population analysis, while current custody should still be confirmed through the jail or the active locator path.
Sevier County Jail Population Trends
Only one comparable official annual booking figure was located: 589 persons booked into Sevier County Jail during 2025. The sheriff app's monthly stats gallery contains January through November 2025 reports, but those reports list calls, incidents, warrant service, traffic activity, welfare checks, mental health transports, and similar sheriff activity. They do not publish an average daily jail population or a multi-year annual booking series.
| Year | Published Jail Figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 589 booked persons | Official Sevier County Jail demographic analysis |
| 2024 | Not located | No comparable official demographic page found |
| 2023 | Not located | No comparable official demographic page found |
| 2022 | Not located | No comparable official demographic page found |
The gap is important. A trend table with invented prior years would be less useful than a narrower table that stays faithful to official Sevier County sources. Utah's newer county jail reporting law may make more standardized population measures easier to compare as public data matures.
Sevier County Inmate Population Makeup
The 2025 booked-person analysis reported 451 male bookings and 138 female bookings. It also reported 174 pre-sentence status entries, 52 sentenced inmate entries, 14 hold-for-state-prison entries, two sentenced weekend entries, and 347 entries with no judicial-status code entered. Crime classification coding included class A, B, and C misdemeanors, infractions, first-, second-, and third-degree felonies, plus uncoded entries.
| Category | Count | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Male bookings | 451 | About 76.6 percent of 2025 booked persons |
| Female bookings | 138 | About 23.4 percent of 2025 booked persons |
| Pre-sentence status | 174 | People coded before final sentence or disposition |
| Sentenced inmate status | 52 | People coded as sentenced inmates |
| Hold for state prison | 14 | People coded for state-prison hold status |
Race and citizenship fields are also present in the official 2025 analysis. White was the largest race code, with 441 entries. Unknown race had 82 entries, Black had 30, Indian or Alaskan Native had 13, Hispanic had 10, and other listed categories had smaller counts. Citizenship was coded as United States for 525 entries, Mexico for 34, and several other countries in smaller counts.
Sevier County Jail Capacity Rules
Capacity and population reporting sit inside Utah records law, jail standards, and county reporting duties. GRAMA, Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, controls how public agencies classify and release records. Utah also has county jail reporting requirements that call for booked-prisoner counts, held-for-agency counts, pretrial detention details, release data, in-custody death reports, withdrawal policies, and mental-health policy information.
Key Statutes and Rules:
Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2 governs public-records requests, record classifications, release, limits, and appeals.
Utah Code 63G-2-201 starts from the rule that records are public unless classified or restricted by law.
Utah Code 17-72-408 requires county jail reporting on bookings, holds, releases, custody deaths, and other jail-population data.
UDC correctional facility standards apply to secure correctional facilities, including county jails, and are public under GRAMA.
These laws do not make every single jail record public in full. They do show why booking dates, release dates, arresting agency fields, hold status, and population counts exist in official systems. Access may still depend on record classification, safety limits, privacy limits, and whether the request is for a current roster, a booking record, or a court record.
Sevier County and State Prison
Sevier County Jail is unusual enough to need careful wording because the sheriff's welcome page says the jail houses Utah Department of Corrections inmates. UDC's Inmate Placement Program explains that eligible state inmates may be placed in contracted county jails. That means some people physically housed in Sevier County Jail may also have UDC supervision or state-prison status.
UDC's public offender search is not a county jail roster. UDC says it covers people under UDC supervision and warns that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced in county jails are not listed. The nearest major regional state prison is Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, Sanpete County, not in Sevier County. Sentenced people from Sevier County may move into that state system after court sentencing.
Search Sevier County Inmate Records
The current Sevier County inmate search path starts with the sheriff's official Inmate Search route. During inspection on July 1, 2026, the page source said "Check back later for updates," and older official OCV inmate and recent-arrest feeds returned empty arrays. A blank public page should not be treated as proof that a person is not in custody.
Current custody needs a fallback chain. The jail phone is the most direct route for someone believed to be in Sevier County Jail. Records beyond "is this person here now" use the sheriff's GRAMA records process. Sentenced, probation, and parole records move to UDC. Federal and immigration custody use BOP, USMS, or ICE systems.
- Open the official Sevier County Sheriff's Office inmate search route and check whether the roster has been restored.
- If the route has no entries, call Sevier County Jail at (435) 896-2660 for current custody confirmation.
- For booking records or older records, use the sheriff's in-person GRAMA request process.
- Search UDC if the person has been sentenced, is on probation, is on parole, or may be a state placement inmate.
- Use BOP, USMS, or ICE only when the case has a federal or immigration custody path.
Sevier County Roster Search Fields
The official route and older feed configuration show an inmate-search feature, but no active public records were available to inspect. The old feed manifest said search and sort controls existed for the feed list, while the returned feed entries were empty. That limits what can be stated about current roster fields.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inmate Search | Page route | Unspecified | Official page exists but said updates were unavailable on July 1, 2026 |
| OCV feed search | Feed-list search UI | Unspecified | Manifest says showSearch true, but no entries returned |
| Sort | Feed-list sort UI | Optional | Manifest says showSort true and date-descending sort |
| Recent Arrests search | Feed-list search UI | Unspecified | Recent-arrests feed returned no records during inspection |
The official Sevier County inmate search page screenshot reflects that limited public roster state.
Because the route exists, it remains the right first stop. Because it showed no usable roster records, phone and GRAMA access remain necessary parts of the Sevier County inmate lookup process.
Sevier County Inmate Record Fields
No active Sevier County sample inmate profile was available in the official roster during inspection. The table below separates fields that can be confirmed or requested from fields that should not be claimed as visible in the current public roster. Utah's county jail reporting law also shows record categories held in official reporting systems, even when a public roster is not displaying them.
| Field | Access Status |
|---|---|
| Name | Current custody may be confirmed by jail phone; written records may be requested through GRAMA. |
| Booking date and time | Tracked in jail reporting law; public access depends on sheriff records response. |
| Arresting agency | Tracked for county jail reporting; release can be limited by record classification. |
| Charges | Jail booking charges should be compared with prosecutor-filed court charges in Xchange. |
| Bond or release status | May depend on court orders, sheriff release, holds, and record classification. |
| Mugshot or booking photo | Not displayed in the current official Sevier County roster inspected for this build. |
County Jail, UDC, Federal Search
The right locator depends on who has custody. Sevier County Jail handles the adult local jail path and also some state placement inmates. UDC handles sentenced prisoners and other people under state correctional supervision. Federal custody can pass through the U.S. Marshals Service before BOP designation. Immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS.
| Custody Type | Search Path | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Sevier sheriff inmate search or jail phone | Public route had no active entries on July 1, 2026 |
| Sentenced, probation, parole, UDC placement | UDC offender search | UDC says unsentenced county jail detainees are not listed |
| Federal prison | BOP inmate locator | Covers federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| Federal pretrial custody | USMS District of Utah | USMS may hold before BOP designation |
| Immigration detention | ICE detainee locator | Search by A-number or biographical data |
Sevier County GRAMA Records
Sevier County Sheriff's Office records requests are handled through the local GRAMA process. The official records page says requests are made in person during business hours, a request form must be filled out, and fulfillment is expected within 10 business days. Published fees are $5 for a basic records request, $25 for digital requests that require digital media, and $50 for certified records.
| Request Item | Published Fee |
|---|---|
| Basic records request | $5.00 per request |
| Digital media request | $25.00 per request |
| Certification of records | $50.00 per request |
The sheriff's records request page is the source for the local fee and timing details.
For court charges after arrest, the jail record should be paired with Utah Courts Xchange because the prosecutor may file, amend, reduce, or dismiss charges after booking.
Sevier County Detention Facilities
The facility map has one adult county jail and one juvenile/youth center in Sevier County. The adult jail is the custody point for the local inmate population and for certain UDC placement inmates. The youth center is a separate juvenile justice facility with different privacy rules and no public adult inmate roster.
- Sevier County Jail - adult county jail in Richfield for local pretrial detainees, county-sentenced inmates, inmates for three counties, and UDC placement inmates.
- Central Utah Youth Center - JJYS youth facility in Richfield for the 6th Judicial District, not an adult jail roster source.
Sevier County Custody Terms
Several terms appear across jail, court, and state corrections records. Knowing the difference helps keep the Sevier County inmate population search on the right system.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest, including identity, property, record creation, and custody processing.
- Pretrial release
- Release before trial under court conditions, sometimes with monitoring or supervision fees.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release from the county jail.
- UDC placement
- A Utah Department of Corrections inmate housed in a county jail under a state placement program.
- Expungement
- A court process that seals eligible records from public inspection under Utah law.
