Sevier County Jail Overview
Sevier County Jail is operated by the Sevier County Sheriff's Office in Richfield, Utah. For Piute County inmate population work, it matters because the Utah Department of Corrections Jail Programs 2024 booklet says Piute County does not have a jail and that Piute offenders sentenced to serve jail time are transported to Sevier County Jail. That makes the jail a service facility for Piute sentenced jail custody, while Sheriff Marty Gleave and the Piute County Sheriff's Office remain the first local contact for a new Piute arrest.
The official Sevier jail staff page lists the jail at 835 E. 300 N., Suite 300, Richfield, UT 84701, with jail phone 435-896-2660 and fax 435-896-8620. It names Cory Hutchings as Jail Commander and Matt Mclean as Lieutenant. The Sevier sheriff app-backed site also carries jail information features such as inmate search, inmate mail, commissary deposit, visitation, records requests, monthly stats reports, inmate demographics, bail bonds, courts, and a GRAMA request form.
The official Sevier County jail staff page is the source for the facility address, jail phone, fax, and command staff.
That staff page is the best official contact anchor when an online lookup does not confirm whether a Piute County person is in Sevier custody.
Sevier County Jail Capacity and Population
The UDC Jail Programs 2024 booklet, updated March 24, 2025, lists Sevier County with 214 total jail beds, 138 contracted beds, and 118 beds available for housing to Corrections. The same source lists Sevier as male housing and separately notes that Piute has zero local jail beds. These figures should not be read as a Piute-only inmate count, because Sevier houses its own jail population and contracted placements in addition to receiving Piute sentenced jail offenders.
Sevier's 2025 inmate demographics page reports 589 total people booked into Sevier County Jail during 2025. It reports 138 female bookings and 451 male bookings. Judicial status categories included 14 hold-for-state-prison entries, 174 pre-sentence entries, 52 sentenced inmate entries, 2 sentenced inmate weekend entries, and 347 entries with no code entered. Security and institutional coding also appears in the data, including 114 general population entries and 113 medium security entries, with many entries not coded.
The official Sevier inmate demographics page is the source for the 2025 booking total and classification categories.
The demographics source is useful for population context, but it is not a current roster and should not be treated as proof that a named person is in custody.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Sevier County Jail
The official Sevier inmate-search route exists, but the current official inmate-search JSON inspected July 1, 2026 says "Check back later for updates." The legacy official inmate and recent-arrests feeds listed in the Sevier app manifest returned empty arrays on July 1, 2026. Because of that, a Sevier County Jail roster search for a Piute County person needs a fallback path instead of relying only on a public profile page.
- Call Piute County Sheriff's Office first at 435-577-2893 if the arrest was local to Piute County and the receiving facility is unknown.
- Call Sevier County Jail at 435-896-2660 if the person may have been transported, sentenced to jail time, or lodged in Richfield.
- Check the Sevier County Sheriff's Office UT site at scsoutah.com for current jail-info links, but do not assume the inmate-search page is returning live profiles.
- Use the Utah Department of Corrections offender search only if the person may be under UDC supervision. UDC says county-jail pretrial detainees are not listed there.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS rather than the county jail roster.
- If online lookup fails, request records from the agency that holds them: Piute for local arrest records and Sevier for Sevier jail records.
The official Sevier inmate-search page shows the app-backed route that should be checked before moving to phone and records-request fallback steps.
When that route does not return active search results, the jail phone, Sevier records process, Piute sheriff contact, UDC search, BOP locator, ICE ODLS, and VINELink Utah are the documented alternatives.

Visiting Someone at Sevier County Jail
Sevier's visitation materials say the jail does not offer in-person visits at the site. Onsite visits are video visits, and a JailATM account is required even when the visitor uses an onsite kiosk. Inmates are allowed two free onsite video visits per week. Visits are recorded and monitored, visitors must provide photo ID, and the rules prohibit phones, knives, weapons, food, drink, unnecessary items, foul language, obscene gestures, unattended children, and threatening conduct. Visitors under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian, and no more than three family members may be in a group visit.

The official Sevier visitation rules page lists the video visiting hours and visitor conduct rules.
Because visits depend on custody status, account setup, and jail rules, confirm the person is still housed at Sevier before traveling to Richfield.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Sevier County Jail
Mail for Sevier inmates should use the inmate's full name, Sevier County Jail, 835 E 300 N, Suite 300, Richfield, UT 84701. The jail's mail rules say all mail is opened and read unless marked legal mail. Legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence, verified for authenticity, checked for contraband, and then delivered. Soft-bound books may be ordered by family from Amazon and sent directly to the inmate, while hardback books, pornography, trading cards, laminated items, credit cards, homemade items, coded letters, stickers, tape, personal checks, cash, envelopes, stamps, catalogs, and most packages are prohibited.

Records Requests for Sevier Jail Information
Sevier's records-request page says records must be requested by visiting the office in person during business hours and filling out a request form. It says requests will be fulfilled within 10 business days. The listed fees are $5.00 for a basic records request, $25.00 for digital requests requiring digital media, and $50.00 for certification of records. The page cites Utah GRAMA, Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2, and links the State Open Records Portal.
The official Sevier records request page is the source for the in-person process, response timing, fees, and GRAMA reference.
For a Piute arrest that later led to Sevier custody, records may be split: Piute may hold the arrest or incident material, and Sevier may hold jail custody records.
Booking and Intake at Sevier County Jail
A Piute County arrest does not create a Piute jail population because Piute has no jail beds. The receiving jail handles the custody intake after transport or court commitment. Standard jail intake may include identity confirmation, property inventory, contraband screening, fingerprints, booking photo, medical and mental-health questions, classification, and account setup. Sevier's inmate demographics page shows that its booking data tracks sex, race, crime classification, judicial status, institutional class, security class, age at booking, citizenship, and religion.
For Piute users, the important distinction is timing and agency control. The Piute County Sheriff's Office can answer whether a local arrest occurred and where the person was taken. Sevier County Jail can answer whether the person is currently housed there, what communication rules apply, and whether a Sevier jail record exists. The Piute court or Utah Courts systems handle scheduled appearances and filed court cases after the arrest.
About Sevier County Jail
Official sources located for Sevier do not publish a construction history, pod map, public transit instructions, visitor parking details, medical request procedure, grievance procedure, religious-services schedule, or facility-specific accessibility entrance details. The useful official record is operational: Sevier is the jail UDC identifies for Piute sentenced jail time, it has documented UDC capacity figures, it publishes video visitation and mail rules, and its app-backed jail information includes demographics, monthly stats, records requests, and commissary resources.
UDC Jail Programs 2024 also reports Sevier program participation in state jail-program tables, including 9 Inside Out Dad successful completions and 19 MRT successful completions in FY24. Those numbers describe program completions in Sevier's UDC jail-program context, not a promise that every current inmate has the same programming available.
Note: Confirm custody, visit eligibility, mail rules, and account requirements with Sevier County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
