Rich County Jail Overview
Rich County Jail is best understood as the Rich County Sheriff's Office jail function, not a large detention center with a separate public website. The official sheriff page lists the sheriff's mailing address as P.O. Box 38, Randolph, UT 84064, while the county, courts, directory, and Randolph town materials use 20 S. Main, Randolph, UT 84064 for the county complex. Official sources did not publish a dedicated jail operations page, public roster page, visitation page, commissary page, or lobby page.
The operator is the Rich County Sheriff's Office. The research identifies the facility type as a county jail or small local detention facility. It is not a Utah state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention facility, or state contract jail. It may hold Rich County arrestees, pretrial defendants, short local sentences, and temporary holds as space allows. The official sheriff page is the local access point for custody, records, dispatch, jail command, and civil process contact information.
The sheriff page is also the most relevant local image source for Rich County Jail access because no dedicated jail exterior photo or jail roster screenshot was located.
The official county page supports the conclusion that Rich County Jail lookup work starts with sheriff contact lines, not with an online inmate portal.
Rich County Jail Capacity
The Utah Department of Corrections 2024 Jail Programs book is the best current official capacity source. It lists Rich County with seven total jail beds, zero contracted beds, zero beds available for housing to Corrections, and zero dollars in state contract funding. The UDC note says Rich County Jail currently houses no state contract inmates because of very limited bed space. Vera's county dataset lists a rated capacity of nine in 2021, 2022, and 2023, but UDC's 2024 source is the better current Utah jail-program reference.
These figures explain why the facility page should not describe pods, towers, work-release annexes, or extensive programming that the research did not confirm. Rich County Jail is a very small rural jail, and public access details are correspondingly sparse.
Who Rich County Jail Holds
Rich County Jail holds the local side of the inmate population: arrestees brought in by the Sheriff's Office or another law-enforcement agency, pretrial detainees waiting for release or court action, short local sentence custody, and brief holds as allowed by space and law. A person may be booked before formal court charges appear. The prosecutor reviews reports and decides what charges to file later, so jail records and court records may not match on day one.
| Custody Type | Use Rich County Jail? | Lookup Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Recent local arrest | Yes, if held locally | Call jail or dispatch |
| Pretrial detention | Yes, if housed in county custody | Jail phone, VINE, court calendar |
| Short local sentence | Possible as capacity permits | Jail phone or records request |
| State prison sentence | No | Utah DOC offender search |
| Federal or ICE custody | No dedicated facility in county found | BOP, USMS, or ICE locator |
Look Up Rich County Jail Inmates
No official public Rich County Jail roster was located. A current lookup starts by calling Main Dispatch/Jail at (435) 793-2285 or Alternate Dispatch/Jail at (435) 946-3210. Records follow-up can go through the Records Department/Civil Process/Office Secretary line at (435) 222-5977. Jail command questions can go to the Jail Commander/Head Dispatcher line at (435) 222-5976. If the person has been sentenced to UDC supervision, use the state offender search instead of the local jail path.
- Collect the person's full name, date of birth if known, and approximate arrest or booking date.
- Call the Rich County jail or dispatch line to ask about current local custody.
- Ask whether the person is still held locally, released, transferred, or affected by a hold.
- Use Utah VINE for custody notification and status support when available.
- Check Xchange or the court clerk after formal charges are filed.
- Use UDC, BOP, or ICE only when the custody type has moved beyond Rich County Jail.
For broader search detail, the Rich County inmate records page explains the phone, records-request, VINE, court, UDC, BOP, and ICE fallback chain.
Rich County Jail Address Contact

Visit Rich County Jail
Rich County jail-specific visitation rules were not published online in the official sources located. No in-person schedule, video visit vendor, visitor application, dress code, prohibited-item list, or public lobby instructions were found. The practical rule is to call the jail before traveling. Bring government photo ID if the jail confirms a visit, and ask whether visits, attorney visits, property pickup, or bond-related steps are handled at the public counter.
| Day or Topic | Published Hours | Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | Not published online | Call before arriving |
| Video visits | No vendor located | Do not assume remote visits are available |
| Attorney visits | No local jail page located | Attorneys should call jail or court |
| Property pickup | Not published online | Confirm rules and ID requirements |
| Visitor entry | Not published online | Ask about screening and prohibited items |
UDC prison visitation rules should not be imported into Rich County Jail. State prison visits require approval and scheduling, but those rules apply after a person is in UDC custody, not while the person is held in the local jail.
Rich County Jail Mail Money
No official Rich County Jail inmate mail format, commissary vendor, phone provider, tablet system, or deposit page was located. Call before mailing anything or sending money. Ask whether the jail accepts personal mail, what name and booking details must appear on an envelope, whether books or photos are allowed, and whether funds can be deposited for a person in local custody. A small county jail may have different practices than a large vendor-based facility.
| Service | Official Finding | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address | No inmate format published | Ask jail for exact format |
| Phone calls | No provider located | Ask how inmate calls work |
| Money deposits | No local vendor located | Confirm before sending funds |
| Commissary | No vendor located | Ask whether accounts are available |
Rich County Booking Records
Rich County booking records are requested through the sheriff's records process when they are not available by phone. The sheriff records PDF says written requests can be emailed to secretary@richcounty.gov or mailed to P.O. Box 38, Randolph, UT 84064. Include name, address, daytime phone, a specific description of the record, and a valid government photo ID copy. The same PDF lists a ten-day grace period and says many records require Sheriff and County Attorney approval.
| Record or Fee | Rich County Detail |
|---|---|
| GRAMA request | $35 |
| Police report | $25 |
| DI-9 accident report | $25 |
| Photo ID | Valid driver license or state/federal government photo ID copy required by local PDF |
Booking photos are a special category. Utah law restricts county jail booking photograph release unless a statutory exception applies. The Rich County jail mugshots page covers that photo-specific issue in more detail.
Rich County Jail Bond Warrants
Rich County does not publish a jail-specific bond payment page in the official sources located. For current custody and release status, call the jail. For court-set amounts, hearings, warrants, and case scheduling, call the Rich County court line at (435) 793-2415. Utah Code defines bail as part of pretrial release, monetary bail as a financial condition, and a pretrial status order as a court order that releases, sets terms, or denies release. A no-bond hold, warrant, probation/parole issue, federal hold, or ICE issue can prevent release even when a local amount appears.
- Own recognizance or PR
- Release based on a promise and conditions, without posting money.
- Monetary bail
- A financial condition set by court order.
- Surety bond
- A bail bond agency or surety insurer posts bond under Utah law.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency or jurisdiction.
Directions to Rich County Jail
Use 20 S. Main St., Randolph, UT 84064 as the visitor-facing map address because it is the county complex address published across Rich County sources. From Garden City and Bear Lake, travel toward Laketown and then Randolph. From Woodruff and the southern or eastern Bear River Valley, travel north toward Randolph along the Main Street highway corridor. Winter conditions, canyon roads, and rural travel distances can affect trip time.
No official jail visitor parking rules, lot map, fixed-route transit stop, or jail-specific accessible entrance instructions were located. The 20 S. Main county location appears in county materials, but the public jail entrance should be confirmed by phone. Note: Call Rich County Jail before traveling for custody, visits, property, bond, or records business.
