Iron County Jail Roster Search

Iron County Jail Overview

Iron County Jail is a county-operated detention facility run by the Iron County Sheriff's Office. The jail is located at 2136 N Main St, Cedar City, UT 84721, and the jail phone number is 435-867-7555. The sheriff's office also publishes a north Main Street complex address at 2132 N Main Street, Cedar City, UT 84721, with office phone 435-867-7500 and dispatch phone 435-586-9445. For facility-specific inmate questions, the jail number is the direct contact point.

The official jail page describes the facility as housing pretrial detainees, other unsentenced people waiting for court action, sentenced misdemeanants, convicted felons, juveniles detained by juvenile court order, and other persons required by state law. The current roster also uses labels such as State Contract Prisoner, Federal Contract Prisoner, and IMMIGRATION DETAINER. Those labels are important because the building is still a county jail, but the reason a person is held there may come from a state, federal, or immigration-related custody path.

The Iron County Commission jail project page identifies the current jail as a facility built in 1987 with a current 180-bed capacity. County materials also describe a planned replacement jail and Sheriff's complex with 672 beds. That replacement project is local context for capacity and conditions, but it should not be treated as a separate operating jail page unless official sources later show that it has opened.

The sheriff's Iron County Jail overview page shows the jail mission, custody categories, programs, and an exterior view of the facility.

That overview is the best starting source for the facility's official role. The roster, visits, bail, mail, and records-request pages provide the operational details for lookup, contact, and family support.

Iron County Jail Capacity and Population

Official county project materials give the clearest local capacity figures: 180 current beds at the existing jail and 672 planned beds for the replacement facility. A July 1, 2026 review of the sheriff's public current-inmate API returned 149 current entries. That count is a point-in-time roster observation, not an official annual average daily population, and it should not be used as a demographic report.

Iron County did not publish an annual booking total, average daily population table, length-of-stay figure, or race, sex, age, and housing breakdown in the local public sources reviewed. The public roster also does not show age, date of birth, physical description, housing unit, or pod. Capacity and the observed roster count are therefore useful for context, while official operational population reports remain a research gap.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Iron County Jail

For someone believed to be in local custody, start with the sheriff's Current Inmate Roster. The roster covers people currently booked into Iron County Jail, refreshes every 10 minutes, and is free to use without a login. It is an informational table, not a certified record, so use the jail phone or GRAMA request process when an official record or release decision matters.

1. Open the current roster and read the roster notice before relying on the table.
2. Use the search field to filter by name or offense. The public page also lets users sort by name or booking date.
3. Review each row for booking date, offense description, statute or hold label, counts, bond amounts, and bond types.
4. If the person is not listed, check the recent bookings page, which covers the past 3 days and refreshes every 10 minutes.
5. Call Iron County Jail at 435-867-7555 when online information is missing, stale, unclear, or tied to release eligibility.

The recent-bookings feed is useful when a person was arrested in the last few days but may already have been released. It shows fields such as name, arrest agency, arrest type, book date, offenses, and whether the entry is marked in custody. The current roster is better for present custody and per-offense bond fields.

If a person has moved beyond county custody, use the right outside system. The Utah Department of Corrections Offender Search is for people under UDC supervision and does not list unsentenced county-jail detainees. Utah VINE can help with custody notifications. Federal sentenced inmates should be checked through the BOP Inmate Locator, and immigration custody questions may require the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.

Official Records, GRAMA, and Roster Limits

The public roster is not a complete inmate profile system. It does not display routine mugshots, date of birth, physical description, housing location, court date, release date, case number, or a clickable profile for each person. A missing name can mean release, transfer, name spelling issues, juvenile or protected status, another agency's custody, or a record not yet posted to the public view.

For official jail records, booking records, or releasable photos, use the sheriff's GRAMA records request form. The form asks for requester information, the records sought, request categories, and related acknowledgments. Iron County's research materials state that fees may apply and the office may take up to 10 business days to release requested records when they are releasable. Protected, private, and controlled records have access limits under Utah GRAMA.

Utah Code 17-22-30 and HB 228 affect booking-photo release. Iron County's recent-bookings page does not publish routine inmate booking photos; post-conviction or post-sentencing booking photos may be requested through GRAMA when the requester qualifies and the record is releasable. Do not treat the absence of a mugshot online as proof that no booking occurred.

Iron County Jail Address and Contact

Use the jail's physical address for facility visits, jail mail, and custody questions. Use the sheriff's office address and office number for broader sheriff office business when the jail page or contact page routes the matter there. Confirm lobby access, visitor entry, parking, and accessibility details before traveling, because the official jail pages do not publish a visitor-lot map or public-counter hours.

Visiting Someone at Iron County Jail

Iron County Jail uses on-site video monitor visits. The official visits page says on-site visits are free, must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and may be scheduled through the on-site kiosk or The Visitor by IC Solutions. Each prisoner is allowed one 25-minute visit per week, and the time limit is strictly enforced. Up to four visitors may attend one visit, but visits may not be split between prisoners.

Visitors age 16 or older need valid government identification. School IDs are not accepted. Visitors must be 18 or be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, must wear modest clothing, and must not have been incarcerated within the last 90 days. Cell phones, keys, food, drinks, and other personal items are not allowed in the visiting room. Personal visits may be monitored and recorded, so legal or privileged conversations should be handled through the jail's attorney-visit process rather than a personal visit.

Mail, Phone, Money, and Bail at Iron County Jail

Personal mail at Iron County Jail is postcard-only. Use a white postcard, sized 4x6 to 5x7, written in blue or black ink or pencil. Do not send altered or defaced cards, labels, stickers, photos, perfume, marker, crayon, paint, glitter, explicit content, threats, or gang-related content. Mail may be searched and read. Address jail mail with the inmate's first and last name, Iron County Jail, 2136 N Main St, Cedar City, UT 84721.

Money orders and cashier's checks sent for inmate funds should be payable to Iron County Jail with the inmate name in the memo. Books must come directly from the publisher or bookstore, must be softcover, and must not contain explicit content. Electronic messages are handled through GettingOut. Phone accounts use IC Solutions, commissary deposits use JailATM, and the jail's visits and accounts materials link those vendors separately, so confirm the purpose before sending money.

Bail options documented for Iron County Jail include cash bond at the jail or through JailATM when available, surety bond through a licensed bail bond company, and cashier's check or money order payable to Iron County Jail. Government-issued identification is required. Bond information on the roster is per offense and can be affected by holds, no-bond lines, court orders, or transfer issues, so confirm the current amount and release eligibility with the jail before attempting payment.

Booking and Intake at Iron County Jail

Iron County's public pages do not publish a full intake manual, booking-duration estimate, housing-classification matrix, property-release policy, or medical-screening workflow. The public sequence that can be described from official sources is narrower: a person is arrested or committed by a lawful authority, transported to Iron County Jail, booked into the jail system, and then may appear on the current roster or recent-bookings feed after the public data posts.

The current roster displays booking date, offense descriptions, statutes or hold labels, counts, bond amounts, and bond types. The recent-bookings page adds arrest agency, arrest type, and an in-custody flag for bookings in the past 3 days. Both public pages refresh every 10 minutes, but that refresh cycle is not a promise that a new arrest will be visible exactly 10 minutes after arrival. Intake, legal status, transfer, quality control, or restricted-record rules can affect public visibility.

About Iron County Jail

The sheriff's jail page frames the facility around public safety and personal responsibility. It says the jail provides secure housing as well as care and services necessary to meet basic needs. It also mentions work programs, educational programs intended to support reentry skills and attitudes, incentives for good behavior, and accountability for misconduct. The official pages reviewed did not publish a GED calendar, medical clinic hours, formal grievance procedure, accreditation claim, or detailed reentry partner list.

County project materials describe the existing jail as one of the county's major infrastructure concerns. They state that the current building was built in 1987, is limited to 180 beds, and has health, safety, maintenance, and space problems. The county described issues such as makeshift housing, book-and-release pressure when there is not enough room, sewage and wastewater concerns, roof concerns, HVAC and equipment age, and high repair costs that would not solve capacity. Those statements come from official county project materials and should be read as the county's explanation for the replacement project.

No separate Cedar City jail, Iron County state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, or regional jail was identified in official sources for this facility map. Cedar City law-enforcement bookings and Utah Highway Patrol bookings may appear in Iron County's recent-bookings feed, but the custody facility for local jail purposes remains Iron County Jail unless a record shows transfer to a different system.
