Piute County Sheriff Custody Lookup

Piute County Sheriff's Office Holding / Booking Contact Overview

Piute County Sheriff's Office is the official local sheriff contact at 550 N Main, Junction, UT 84740. The official Piute sheriff page lists Sheriff Marty Gleave, deputies Mike Gayler, Troy Kennedy, and Erik Christensen, secretary Morgan Eliason, phone 435-577-2893, no-answer number 435-577-2972, and fax 435-577-2894. It describes the office's mission as protecting lives, property, and rights, maintaining order, enforcing law, and improving quality of life in Piute County.

This page must be read differently from a jail facility page. The Utah Department of Corrections Jail Programs 2024 booklet lists Piute County with 0 total jail beds, 0 contracted beds, and 0 available beds for housing to Corrections. The same UDC note says Piute County does not have a jail and that Piute offenders sentenced to serve jail time are transported to Sevier County Jail. That means Piute Sheriff is the local arrest and records contact, not a jail operator with visitation, mail, commissary, or inmate housing services.

The official Piute County Sheriff page is the source for the sheriff name, office address, phone numbers, fax, staff, and mission statement.

That official sheriff page is the starting point when the question is whether a person was arrested locally or where the person was transported.

Piute County Jail Capacity and Population

Piute County has no official jail population because Piute County does not operate a jail. UDC Jail Programs 2024 lists Piute with 0 total jail beds, 0 contracted beds, and 0 beds available for housing to Corrections. It also states that Piute offenders sentenced to serve jail time are transported to Sevier County Jail. For search purposes, that zero-bed fact controls the whole page: there is no Piute County jail roster, no Piute jail visitation schedule, no Piute inmate mail address, and no Piute commissary account system in the official sources located.

Because no Piute jail population exists, Sevier County Jail numbers should not be presented as Piute-only population data. Sevier's official 2025 inmate demographics report 589 people booked into Sevier County Jail during 2025, but those are Sevier jail bookings overall. They help explain the receiving facility, not a current or historic Piute-only custody count.

How to Look Up a Piute County Arrest or Custody Destination

No official Piute County jail roster was located, and the reason is structural: Piute has no jail. A Piute County custody search should therefore begin with the agency that can confirm the local arrest or destination. If the person was sentenced to jail time or transported to Sevier, move to Sevier County Jail. If the person moved into Utah Department of Corrections supervision, use the state offender search. If the person is federal or immigration custody, use federal systems instead of county jail pages.

1. Call Piute County Sheriff's Office at 435-577-2893 and ask whether the person was arrested locally or whether the office can identify the receiving jail.
2. If there is no answer, Piute publishes 435-577-2972 as the no-answer number.
3. If the person was sentenced to jail time or transported to Richfield, call Sevier County Jail at 435-896-2660.
4. Check Sevier County Sheriff's Office UT jail-info resources, including its inmate-search route, but note that the current official inmate-search JSON says "Check back later for updates."
5. Use the UDC offender search only for people under UDC supervision. UDC states that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced in county jail facilities are not listed.
6. Use the Federal BOP inmate locator for federal inmates and ICE ODLS for immigration detainees.
7. Use VINELink Utah for custody notification when a notification option is available.

Piute County Sheriff's Office Address and Contact

Use Piute County Sheriff's Office when the question is local arrest confirmation, local incident records, who made the arrest, or where the person was transported. Do not use the Piute sheriff address as an inmate mailing address or visitation location. Those services belong to the jail that actually receives the person.

What to Ask Piute Sheriff by Phone

Because the office is not a jail, the most useful phone questions are destination and record questions. Ask whether the person was arrested by Piute deputies or another agency, whether the office can confirm the receiving jail, whether the person was transported to Sevier County Jail, and whether a local incident or arrest report exists. If the matter involves a scheduled court appearance, the official Piute courts page says appearances are by schedule only and gives the court phone as 435-577-2840.

Visitation, Mail, and Commissary Do Not Run Through Piute

Piute County Sheriff's Office does not publish jail visitation, inmate mail, or commissary rules because it is not operating a jail. Do not send inmate mail to the sheriff office, do not travel there for jail visitation, and do not look for a Piute commissary account. Those topics route to the receiving jail, usually Sevier County Jail for sentenced jail time according to UDC. Sevier's official rules describe video visitation, inmate mail format, JailATM use, and commissary deposit options for people housed there.

Piute Records, Sevier Records, and GRAMA

Piute's sheriff page does not publish a booking-record request form or fee schedule in the official source material. For local arrest or incident material, contact Piute County Sheriff's Office by phone or fax. For Sevier jail records, use Sevier's own records process. Sevier's records page says requests are made in person during business hours, a form must be completed, requests will be fulfilled within 10 business days, and fees are $5.00 for a basic records request, $25.00 for digital requests requiring digital media, and $50.00 for certification.

Utah GRAMA, Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2, provides the statewide framework for requesting public records from government entities. Utah Code 63G-2-201 generally gives a right to inspect public records and receive copies subject to lawful restrictions and fees. In a Piute arrest that led to Sevier custody, the practical approach may require two requests: one to Piute for the local arrest or incident record and one to Sevier for jail custody records created after transport.

State, Federal, and Immigration Custody Fallbacks

UDC offender search is the correct route when a Piute County person has been sentenced to prison, placed under UDC supervision, or moved from a county jail setting into the state system. UDC operates two state prisons statewide: Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City and Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison. There is no state prison physically in Piute County. UDC also warns that county-jail pretrial detainees are not listed in its offender search.

For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, which searches federal inmates by number or by name. For immigration detention, use ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No BOP, ICE, or U.S. Marshals detention facility was identified in Piute County official or federal sources. The U.S. Marshals District of Utah serves Piute County, but federal pretrial custody may be held by contract elsewhere, so the county sheriff roster is not the correct federal search tool.

Booking and Intake for Piute County Arrests

Piute County does not publish a local online booking workflow. The safest supported wording is that a Piute arrest is handled locally by law enforcement and then custody questions route to the facility that receives the person. Standard jail intake at a receiving jail may include identification, property inventory, contraband screening, fingerprints, booking photo, medical and mental-health screening questions, classification, account setup, and public roster entry if the receiving jail publishes one. Those steps should not be described as a Piute jail process because Piute has no jail.

Timing also depends on the receiving facility. Official Piute sources did not publish how long booking takes, when a transported person appears in an online system, or where every new arrest is housed. For sentenced jail time, UDC identifies Sevier County Jail. For a new arrest or pretrial hold, call Piute Sheriff first for destination information, then contact the receiving jail directly.

About Piute County Sheriff's Office Holding / Booking Contact

The official Piute County government page identifies Junction as the present county seat, and county offices are listed at 550 N Main. The sheriff office also supports broader local public-safety work, including Piute Search and Rescue services described in county material as 24/7 professional services for mountain search and rescue, avalanche search and rescue, water rescue, swiftwater rescue, mantracking, and K9 search and rescue. That local law-enforcement role is real, but it does not create a local jail population.

Official public-notice material shows Piute County has discussed sheriff operations and the idea of a jail in past county contexts, but the latest located UDC Jail Programs booklet continues to show Piute as a no-jail county. Unless an official future source changes that, Piute County inmate lookup should be treated as a custody-routing problem: Piute sheriff for arrest contact, Sevier jail for jail custody when applicable, Utah Courts for court records, UDC for state supervision, and federal systems for federal or immigration detention.
