Find Utah County Inmates

Utah County Jail Roster Overview

The Utah County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail at the County Security Center in Spanish Fork and publishes booking information to the public. The tool is called the Utah County Arrested Person Search. The Sheriff's Office posts booking information about 24 hours after a person is booked. A name search covers all inmates, current and past, from the last two years. That two-year window makes the roster useful even after someone is released, though older records drop off over time.

The roster has limits. It tracks people in Utah County custody, not state or federal custody. If a person was sent to the Utah State Prison, picked up by immigration, or held in a federal facility, the county roster will not show their current status. For those, you use the state corrections locator or the federal locator, both covered on the released inmates page.

The Sheriff's search page also links a current inmates list and an inmate statistics page.

How to Use the Utah County Inmate Roster

The search is simple and free. You can look by name or by the date of arrest. Entering more of a name limits the results and speeds things up. Clicking a name opens the actual booking page. The steps below walk through a basic roster search.

1. Open the Utah County Arrested Person Search.
2. Pick Search By Name and enter as much of the name as you can, such as "ADAMS, B".
3. Or pick Search By Arrested Date if you know roughly when the arrest happened.
4. Click a name to open the booking and read the charges, arresting agency, and status.

If you do not have a name, the Current Inmates link lists everyone the Sheriff currently tracks. Remember the 24-hour rule: a very recent booking may not appear yet.

Utah County Roster Search Fields

The Arrested Person Search keeps a short set of fields. It is built around a name search and a date search, with quick links to the full inmate list and the statistics page. The table below lists what the portal accepts.

What a Utah County Inmate Profile Shows

Click a name and the booking page opens. It carries a standard set of fields the Sheriff publishes for each booking. A booking photo appears for the first 30 days after the arrest, then comes off the site, while the rest of the booking information stays for one year. The table shows what each field means.

Reading Utah County Booking Codes

The Sheriff's roster is unusually open about its codes. A booking page uses short letters for custody status, charge type, and release reason. Once you know the common ones, a booking reads clearly. The most useful status and release codes are listed below.

Status A

Active in custody. The person is currently in Utah County custody.

Status O

Released. The booking is no longer active, so check the release type and date.

Status E

GPS or electronic monitor. The person is tracked by monitoring rather than ordinary jail custody.

Status D

Work diversion. The person is in the county's work diversion program.

Charge WA / WBW

Warrant or bench warrant. The hold is tied to an outstanding warrant.

Release B / BN

Cash bail posted or bail bond posted.

Release PTA

Promise to appear. The person was released on a written promise to come to court.

Court DST / JPC

Provo District Court or Utah County Justice Court, the court tied to the case.

Charge type codes also include CG for a new charge, SU for a summons, and CM for a commitment. A booking can carry more than one charge with different codes.

Utah County Jail Facilities

Utah County operates one main detention facility, the County Security Center in Spanish Fork, which also houses the Sheriff's Office. The official jail capacity was not published in the sources reviewed, so this page does not state a bed count. For records and reports tied to a booking, the Sheriff's Records Office is a separate counter. Both contacts are below.

For population trends and statistics rather than a single booking, the Sheriff posts an inmate statistics page.

The full numbers and trends are covered on the inmate population page.

Booking and Classification in Utah County

Booking is the intake step after an arrest. Staff record the person, the charges, and the arresting agency, and the booking shows in the public search about 24 hours later. Classification comes next. The jail classifies an inmate 3 to 5 days after incarceration. That review looks at current charges, past convictions, escape history, behavior in custody, felony convictions, alcohol or drug use, and stability factors such as age and employment.

Classification matters because it sets housing, day room access, program eligibility, visiting, and commissary. Good time is based on behavior and program participation. The jail says working inmates can earn more good time, usually 10 days per month, compared with 5 days per month with no participation. Meals are designed by a dietician to provide 2,900 calories a day.

• Current charges and any past convictions.
• Escape history and behavior in custody.
• Alcohol or drug use noted at intake.
• Stability factors such as age and employment.

Visitation Hours and Rules

All personal visits at the Utah County Jail are remote video. Visits run through Securus and are started by the inmate, like a phone call. To take part, a visitor needs an AdvanceConnect account with Securus, a state-issued ID, and a current clear photo. Video calls run from housing areas between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., depending on the inmate's classification level. The current rate is $0.19 per minute plus applicable taxes and fees.

Dress and conduct rules apply, and all visits are monitored. People booked into the Utah County Jail within the last two years generally cannot visit on-site, and anyone on probation or parole may not visit on-site.

The visitation FAQ lists the full account setup, dress code, and suspension rules.

How to Contact a Utah County Inmate

There are three main ways to reach an inmate: mail, phone, and video. Since September 25, 2023, all personal mail received at the jail is scanned and delivered electronically through tablets and kiosks. The original letters and cards go into the inmate's property and are returned on release. Legal mail and new softcover books sent directly from a publisher or bookstore are accepted and delivered. Every piece needs a return name and address.

Phones are generally available in housing from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., depending on classification, and calls are usually limited to 20 minutes. The voice call rate is $0.12 per minute plus taxes and fees. Securus prepaid accounts can be funded online or by phone. Address personal mail like this:

• First and last name
• Booking number
• Utah County Jail, 3075 N Main St
• Spanish Fork, UT 84660

The inmate services page lays out the mail bans, phone rates, and account vendors in full.

Commissary, Funds, and Programs

Commissary lets inmates buy writing materials, stamped envelopes, personal items, and small food items, subject to housing and classification rules. Deposits and approved item orders go through JailATM at deposits.jailatm.com. Securus handles phone and visitation accounts but cannot be used for commissary deposits. If an inmate owes unpaid jail fees, a deposit may be applied to those fees before any commissary order. Hygiene and stationery can still be ordered directly through the provider.

Programs are a large part of jail life in Utah County. The jail offers GED and high school classes, Life Skills, Living @ 5, AA, addiction recovery, the RISE program, and the OUT residential drug treatment program run with Wasatch Behavioral Health. The jail says these programs are funded through the inmate telephone system rather than public cost, supported by a small staff and over 90 volunteers.

Many of these programs also feed release planning, which the released inmates page covers.
