Asotin County Jail Booking Releases

The Asotin County Jail sits inside the Asotin County Justice Complex at 2950 6th Ave in Clarkston. The jail holds adult inmates and people held before trial. It has a standard capacity of one hundred forty-four beds. Staff cover the jail twenty four hours a day, every day. The jail commander is Nate Uhlorn. You can call the jail at 509-758-1668 if you need to confirm whether a person is in custody. The jail also takes inmates for the cities of Asotin and Clarkston, so most local arrests end up on the same booking log.

Asotin County Jail also rents bed space to the Washington Department of Corrections. That means people held on probation violations may show up on the booking releases too. Medical, mental health, and dental care comes from contracted providers. Inmates have access to a small commissary and to volunteer led classes. Booking releases are tracked from intake to discharge in the jail register. The register lists each person and the reason they were brought in.

If you call the jail and the staff cannot give you details over the phone, ask for the records department. The records team can take a written request and pull arrest reports from older bookings.

Visit the Asotin County Jail information page for the latest contact info and visiting rules.

The jail page lists the address, the commander, and the phone number you need to ask about a current booking.

State Inmate Tools

You can search by name or DOC number. The page also links to WA VINE, a free notification system. WA VINE sends email or text alerts when an inmate's status changes.

The Washington State Patrol WATCH system gives a state wide criminal history record. It works for online name checks for an eleven dollar fee.

The data can fill out the picture if you only have a single booking release in hand.

Asotin County booking releases linked to state custody often appear in both the local jail log and the DOC tool, since the jail rents beds to DOC. Check both if you want a full view.

Records Request Tips

To get a clean response, be specific. Name the person. Pick a date range. Say you want the booking record or the arrest report. Vague requests get pushed back. The Asotin County records office has a small staff. Help them help you by writing a tight request.

You can also ask the records team about fingerprinting and background checks. The state patrol handles full criminal history reports, but the Asotin County records team can answer basic questions about local Asotin County booking releases and how to read them.
