Piute County Inmate Population
The central fact is simple and important: Piute County does not operate a local jail. The Utah Department of Corrections Jail Programs 2024 booklet, updated March 24, 2025, lists Piute County with total jail beds of 0, contracted beds of 0, and available housing to Corrections of 0. The same UDC entry states that Piute County offenders sentenced to serve jail time are transported to Sevier County Jail. That makes the Piute County inmate population a routed custody population, not a single local jail roster.
For a new arrest, the Piute County Sheriff's Office remains the local starting point. Sheriff Marty Gleave's office is the local law enforcement contact for arrest confirmation, incident records, and transport questions. For sentenced jail time or a person already lodged in jail custody, the practical jail contact is Sevier County Jail in Richfield. For a prison sentence, parole, or probation supervision, the record moves to the Utah Department of Corrections. Federal and immigration custody use separate federal tools.
Piute County Inmate Population Statistics
Piute County jail statistics are unusual because the local count is defined by absence. The county has no jail beds in the UDC Jail Programs source, so there is no Piute jail average daily population published as a local facility count. The serving jail context comes from Sevier County Jail, which UDC lists with 214 total jail beds, 138 contracted beds, and 118 beds available for housing to Corrections. Sevier's app-backed inmate demographics page gives the closest official jail population context for people booked at that facility in 2025.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Piute County total jail beds | 0 | UDC Jail Programs 2024, updated March 24, 2025 |
| Piute contracted beds | 0 | UDC Jail Programs 2024 |
| Piute available housing to Corrections | 0 | UDC Jail Programs 2024 |
| Sevier County total jail beds | 214 | UDC Jail Programs 2024 |
| Sevier 2025 total people booked | 589 | Sevier County Sheriff's Office inmate demographics, 2025 |
| Utah incarceration rate | 396 per 100,000 people | Prison Policy Initiative Utah profile, accessed July 1, 2026 |
Piute County Inmate Population Trends
Piute County does not have a local multi-year jail population trend because no operational county jail was identified in the official UDC jail booklet. That does not mean no Piute arrestee ever enters custody. It means the jail count is tracked through the receiving jail or another custody system. The latest located UDC booklet still shows no Piute jail after official public meeting material discussed the idea of a future jail, so the current records workflow must remain tied to Piute Sheriff, Sevier County Jail, UDC, and federal systems.
| Year | Piute jail beds / ADP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 0 beds; ADP not applicable | UDC Jail Programs 2024 says Piute County does not have a jail. |
| 2025 | 0 local jail beds confirmed | The latest located UDC booklet was updated March 24, 2025. |
| 2026 | Not published | No Piute-specific transported-detainee count was located in official sources. |
The official Sevier inmate demographics source is useful because it shows the receiving jail's 2025 booking categories and annual booking total.
Those Sevier figures are not Piute-only numbers, but they show the jail data environment that can matter when a Piute case is transported or served through Sevier.
Piute County Inmate Population Makeup
No official source located a Piute-only breakdown by sex, race, charge class, judicial status, or length of stay. Sevier County Jail does publish 2025 booking categories for the larger receiving jail population. Those data points should be read as Sevier jail context, not as a Piute County demographic count. They still help explain what kind of records may exist after intake at the receiving jail.
- Sex categories: Sevier reported 138 female bookings and 451 male bookings in 2025.
- Charge class: Sevier reported class A, B, and C misdemeanors, infractions, and first, second, and third degree felony categories.
- Judicial status: Sevier categories include pre-sentence, sentenced inmate, sentenced inmate weekends, and hold for state prison.
- Security coding: The Sevier data includes general population and medium security coding, with many entries not coded.
For a specific Piute inmate population question, treat the status field as a clue, not a full case history. A pre-sentence jail status differs from a court disposition, and a hold for state prison points toward UDC movement after sentencing.
Piute County Jail Capacity
Piute County has no local jail capacity to compare against a daily jail census. That removes the normal overcrowding question from the county itself. The available official capacity number belongs to Sevier County Jail, which UDC lists at 214 total jail beds. UDC also lists 138 contracted beds and 118 available for housing to Corrections. Those figures matter because Piute sentenced jail offenders are transported to Sevier County Jail under the UDC note.
Official research did not locate a Piute jail construction project that had become an operating jail by the latest UDC booklet. A Utah Public Notice item showed official discussion of inter-local sheriff matters, and a public notice attachment snippet noted a discussion about possibly bringing a jail to Piute County. The working public-record fact remains the UDC source: no Piute jail, no Piute jail roster, and Sevier as the sentenced jail-time destination.
Piute County Inmate Population Laws
Utah public-record law and jail reporting law shape what can be requested, what may be withheld, and which office owns the record. Piute arrest records may sit with the Piute Sheriff's Office. Sevier jail records may sit with the Sevier County Sheriff's Office. Court records after an arrest are separate and route through Utah Courts. State prison records move to UDC.
Key Statutes:
Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2 is GRAMA, Utah's main framework for public-record requests, classifications, denials, and appeals.
Utah Code 63G-2-201 states the general right to inspect public records and receive copies, subject to lawful limits and fees.
Utah Code 17-22-32 includes county jail reporting and inmate mortality reporting duties.
Utah Code Title 77 Chapter 20 governs bail and pretrial release decisions after arrest.
Piute County State Prison Population
State prison is not the same record set as the county jail. A Piute defendant may be arrested locally, held in a county jail such as Sevier, prosecuted in court, and later moved under UDC supervision if sentenced to prison. The UDC offender search is the proper source after UDC supervision begins. UDC warns that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced and housed in county jails will not be listed.
UDC operates the Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City and Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison. No state prison is physically in Piute County. UDC also reports that about 25 percent of state inmates are housed in county jail facilities through the Inmate Placement Program, which is another reason a county jail and state prison search can overlap only after the legal status changes.
Search Piute County Inmate Population
A Piute County inmate search should not begin by looking for a Piute jail roster, because no official Piute roster was located and UDC says the county has no jail. The correct search is a chain. It starts with local arrest confirmation, then moves to Sevier jail custody, then to UDC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink based on the type of custody.
- Call the Piute County Sheriff's Office at 435-577-2893 for local arrest confirmation. If no one answers, Piute publishes 435-577-2972.
- Call Sevier County Jail at 435-896-2660 if the person was transported, sentenced to jail time, or likely held in the serving jail.
- Check the Sevier County Sheriff's Office UT inmate-search route, but note that the official app content inspected July 1, 2026 said to check back later for updates.
- Use the UDC offender search for sentenced prison, probation, or parole records, not for unsentenced jail detainees.
- Use the BOP locator, ICE ODLS, or U.S. Marshals District of Utah contact paths for federal or immigration custody.
- Use VINELink Utah for custody notifications where the system supports the person and agency.
Piute County Roster Search Fields
The current public search-field answer is that Piute County has no local jail roster fields. Sevier's current app-backed inmate-search page exists, but its underlying official page JSON says "Check back later for updates." Sevier's legacy official feed routes were configured for search and sort, yet direct inspection returned empty arrays on July 1, 2026. That means a reader should not assume that a public Sevier roster will return active Piute-related profiles at all times.
| Search Source | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piute County jail roster | n/a | n/a | n/a | No official Piute roster fields because Piute County does not operate a jail. |
| Sevier current inmate-search page | n/a | n/a | n/a | Official route exists, but the current JSON says to check back later for updates. |
| Sevier legacy feed | Search | text | unspecified | Manifest says showSearch is true, but the endpoint returned no records. |
| Sevier legacy feed | Sort | sort control | optional | Manifest says showSort is true and default sort appears dateDesc. |
The official Sevier County Sheriff's Office UT site is app-backed and exposes jail-info features through that system.
The page's existence is useful, but the documented check-back-later status makes phone and records-request fallbacks essential.
Piute County Inmate Record Fields
No live Sevier roster profile was captured, so current public profiles cannot be described as showing mugshots, charge codes, bond amounts, housing units, or court dates. The documented field inventory is limited to what was visible or reported in official sources. Sevier's demographics page confirms internal jail coding for some categories, while the public inmate-search page did not return active profile fields.
| Field | What the research supports |
|---|---|
| Name | Not visible in current official page JSON. |
| Booking number | Not visible in current official page JSON. |
| Mugshot | Not visible in current official page JSON. |
| Charge | Not visible in current JSON; Sevier demographics confirm crime classification categories exist internally. |
| Judicial status | Demographics report categories such as pre-sentence, sentenced inmate, weekend sentence, and hold for state prison. |
| Housing/security | Demographics report general population and medium security categories, but no live public profile field was captured. |
Piute County Released Inmate Records
Released or past inmate records can require more than one agency. Piute's sheriff may hold local arrest or incident material. Sevier may hold jail custody records if the person was housed there. Utah Courts may hold the court case after charges were filed. A person who moved to state prison may be searchable in UDC systems, while federal or immigration custody is outside the county and state jail roster path.
Sevier's official records-request page says records can be requested by visiting the office in person during business hours, filling out a request form, and waiting up to 10 business days. The listed fees are $5 for a basic records request, $25 for digital requests requiring digital media, and $50 for certification. Those fees are Sevier's process for Sevier records, not a Piute Sheriff's Office fee schedule.
Piute County Jail vs Prison
The most common lookup mistake is using the wrong custody system. A county jail record is tied to arrest, booking, pretrial custody, a short sentence, or a local hold. A UDC record is tied to state correctional supervision after sentencing or placement. Federal and immigration custody are separate again.
| Custody type | Where to look | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Piute local arrest | Piute County Sheriff's Office | Local arrest confirmation, incident record questions, and transport destination. |
| County jail custody | Sevier County Jail | Sentenced Piute jail time and any custody held by the receiving jail. |
| State prison or supervision | Utah Department of Corrections | Sentenced prison, probation, parole, and UDC-supervised status. |
| Federal custody | Federal BOP or U.S. Marshals | Federal inmates or federal pretrial custody outside Piute's jail system. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Immigration custody, not county jail status. |
Piute County Inmate Definitions
Several jail and court words can sound alike but point to different records. These definitions help separate a Piute County inmate population search from court, prison, and federal searches.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest or court commitment, including identification, screening, and entry into jail records.
- Roster
- A public or internal list of people in custody. Piute County has no local jail roster.
- Pre-sentence
- A Sevier demographic category for people not yet sentenced.
- Detainer or hold
- A request or legal reason for another agency to keep custody or receive notice before release.
- UDC
- Utah Department of Corrections, the state system for prison and correctional supervision records.
Piute County Federal Search
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to the present. It can search by BOP register number, DCDC number, FBI number, INS number, or by name with filters such as race, age, and sex. BOP warns that release dates can change and that a released or not-in-BOP-custody result may still mean the person is in another justice system.
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is the immigration detention lookup path. No ICE detention facility was identified in Piute County. The U.S. Marshals District of Utah covers Piute County for federal law enforcement matters, but no federal detention facility was located in Piute. These tools are not substitutes for the Piute Sheriff's Office or Sevier County Jail when the question is a local arrest or county jail booking.
Piute County Detention Facilities
The facility list for Piute County inmate population work has two entries because one is the jail that serves Piute sentenced jail time and the other is the local sheriff contact point. The second entry must not be read as a functioning jail.
Sevier County Jail is the regional county jail in Richfield that UDC identifies for Piute offenders sentenced to jail time. The Piute County Sheriff's Office entry is the local arrest and transport contact in Junction with 0 jail beds.
Piute County Inmate Population FAQ
Does Piute County have a jail roster? No official Piute County jail roster was located, and UDC says Piute County has no jail. Start with the Piute Sheriff's Office for local arrest questions, then contact Sevier County Jail if the person was transported or sentenced to jail time.
Where are Piute sentenced jail offenders held? The UDC Jail Programs 2024 booklet says Piute County offenders sentenced to serve jail time are transported to Sevier County Jail. Sevier is the primary jail facility for that part of the Piute County inmate population.
Does Sevier's public inmate search always work? Not based on the captured official research. The Sevier app-backed inmate-search page existed, but the underlying content inspected July 1, 2026 said to check back later for updates, and legacy feeds returned empty arrays.
When should UDC offender search be used? Use UDC when the person is sentenced to prison, on probation, on parole, or otherwise under UDC supervision. UDC says county-jail pretrial detainees are not listed.
How are old jail records requested? Use GRAMA with the agency that holds the record. Piute may hold local arrest or incident material, while Sevier may hold jail custody records if the person was housed there.
Can VINELink replace a roster search? VINELink is a notification and custody-status tool, not a complete Piute jail roster. It is useful when the agency and person are supported by Utah's VINE system.
