This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a detainee, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve official booking records. Use the official Adams County, court, state, federal, or juvenile agency listed below for those actions.
Where to Look for an Inmate or Record
Adams County Jail / Corrections Center: 210 W Broadway Ave, Ritzville, WA 99169. The official roster and release page at co.adams.wa.gov/182 sends users to the Adams Co Sheriff's Office WA app and lists the Corrections Center phone as 509-659-3331.
Adams County Sheriff's Office: Sheriff Dale Wagner, county courthouse address 210 W Broadway, Ritzville, WA 99169. The sheriff and county main line is 509-659-1122. Research located public-facing Monday-Friday, 8 am-4 pm hours for the sheriff evidence/property contact; call ahead before relying on those hours for jail or records counter service.
Public records: Adams County uses NextRequest at adamscountywa.nextrequest.com/requests/new. Washington's Public Records Act is chapter 42.56 RCW, and RCW 42.56.520 generally requires an agency to respond within five business days by providing the record, acknowledging the request, asking for clarification, giving an estimate, or denying the request.
Pick the route that matches the record or custody type:
- For a current adult county-jail custody question, start with jail inmate records, the Adams County Sheriff's app, and the Corrections Center at 509-659-3331.
- For booking photographs, review jail roster mugshots and remember that RCW 70.48.100 limits release of booking photos in Washington.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Washington Courts search, or the Adams County District Court record request page at co.adams.wa.gov/488.
- For a facility-specific question, use the pages for Adams County Jail or Martin Hall Juvenile Detention Facility.
- For a sentenced Washington prisoner, use the Washington State Department of Corrections locator at doc.wa.gov.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator at bop.gov/inmateloc or ICE ODLS at locator.ice.gov/odls.
