Island County Jail Roster

The live Island County Jail Roster is the front line for Island County booking releases. The page hosts the live report and lists every person currently in custody at the Island County Jail. Data refreshes every three hours, starting at midnight. You can view the report in full screen mode for easier reading. For mobile users, victim notification is best handled through the VINELink mobile apps, with links provided for iOS and Android. You can also try the VINELink Washington Person search desktop version for alerts.

Visit the Island County Jail Roster page. The screenshot is below.

The roster page is the cleanest way to see who is in the jail right now. Pair it with the Recent Bookings tab to see new arrivals.

Note: A three-hour refresh window means a brand-new booking may not appear right away, so call the jail to confirm if timing matters.

Island County Corrections Division

The Island County Jail was remodeled with extra space in 1983. It is a traditional linear-style facility that holds both sentenced and pre-trial maximum security inmates. The jail is designed to house up to 58 inmates at any time. Inmates have access to outdoor recreation, mail, commissary purchases, and special programs. They also receive medical, mental health, and dental care. Religious services and offender change programs are offered. Public visits are available on a rotational basis. Sentenced inmates may be eligible for kitchen or custodial work crews and earn work-time credits to reduce their sentence. Eligible inmates may qualify for the Electronic Monitoring Program.

As of October 22, 2025, the jail switched phone services from Securus to CIDNET, which adds video visiting and tablets. Visit the Island County Corrections Division page. Screenshot below.

This page is useful when you need to know jail rules, programs, or visiting policies before reaching out about an inmate.

Note: The jail is small, so transfers to nearby county facilities can happen when the bed count runs high.
