Umatilla County Pendleton Jail Roster: Active Inmate Search

Official Umatilla County Jail Roster – Pendleton, Oregon

The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office jail page includes a “Jail Roster” link leading to its Citizen RIMS arrests portal.

Use this county-linked portal instead of assuming that a third-party booking website has the latest information. The live portal was not accessible during this article’s verification, so its current search fields, photograph display and update frequency cannot be guaranteed.

The Sheriff’s Office also links to VINELink as a custody-status and notification resource. This can be useful when the public arrests interface does not answer your question.

How to Search Umatilla County Jail Inmates by Name

Start with the person’s last name. A shorter name search can help avoid missed results caused by a misspelled first name or an unexpected surname variation.

Step-by-step inmate lookup

1. Open the official Citizen RIMS link from the county website.
2. Choose an available name-search or arrest-search control.
3. Enter the last name or other reliable identifying details.
4. Adjust any date range if the arrest date is known.
5. Review all possible matching entries.
6. Check the date, agency and other displayed details before selecting a match.
7. Call 541-966-3632 to confirm whether the person remains in custody.

Citizen RIMS is an arrest-information resource; an arrest listing should not automatically be treated as proof that someone is still held in the jail.

Umatilla County Jail Bookings, Charges and Custody Information

The Sheriff’s Corrections Division manages the Umatilla County Jail. According to its official facility information, the jail processed more than 3,700 intakes during 2024 and had an average daily population of 175 adults in custody that year.

For the latest individual information, distinguish between an arrest record, a current jail custody record and a court case. They are related but not interchangeable.

How to check recent bookings

Use the available arrest-date filter on the official portal, if provided, and inspect the relevant records. If the arrest happened very recently, call jail reception to confirm whether intake and housing have been completed.

Do not assume that an arrests list includes everyone in custody or that every entry remains active.

Why Someone May Not Appear on the Pendleton Jail Roster

A missing search result does not necessarily mean that no arrest occurred.

• Recent admission: The public record may not yet be visible.
• Release: The person may have already left jail.
• Transfer: They may be held in another facility.
• Name variation: The recorded name may differ from the one you searched.
• Different jurisdiction: Another county, federal agency or correctional authority may hold the person.
• Portal limitations: A record might not be included in the publicly accessible search.

Check official Oregon custody resources

For statewide custody notifications, visit VINELink and select Oregon. Available services can help users check custody information and register for eligible status-change notifications.

For state correctional custody, consult the Oregon Department of Corrections.

For urgent local custody verification, call the Umatilla County Jail at 541-966-3632.

Umatilla County Jail Mugshots and Booking Photos

A booking photograph is taken during an arrest or jail admission. However, the county’s published jail page does not independently establish that every mugshot is available through its public Citizen RIMS search.

Oregon has restrictions on the disclosure of booking photographs, including rules associated with House Bill 3273. Public access may depend on applicable statutory exceptions and the record’s circumstances.

How to check a booking photograph

1. Search the county-linked Citizen RIMS arrests portal.
2. Check whether the matching public record displays a photograph.
3. Do not assume a missing photograph can be obtained from a third-party directory.
4. Contact the Sheriff’s Office to ask about eligible photograph requests.
5. Follow any official public-records instructions and disclosure restrictions.

The existence of a mugshot is not evidence of guilt. Commercial websites may retain old arrest photographs even after a person has been released or charges have changed.

Umatilla County Jail Visitation Days and Hours

The Sheriff’s Office publishes scheduled inmate visitation on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, excluding all holidays. Appointments may be scheduled up to one week in advance by contacting jail reception during business hours.

Published visitation sessions

The female afternoon schedule is presented here as 2:30–3:30 p.m.; the county’s published page contains an apparent AM/PM typo in that time slot. Confirm the session with reception before attending.

Jail reception office hours

Monday–Friday, 7:30–11:30 a.m. and 12:30–4:30 p.m. Reception closes at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays.

These are reception and appointment scheduling hours, not the facility’s overall custody operating hours.

Umatilla County Jail Inmate Telephone Calls and Messaging

The jail also provides ViaPath tablets in inmate dorms. Eligible people can send and receive approved messages and pictures through supported services.

Use the official inmate telephone instructions before funding an account.

Umatilla County Jail Inmate Mailing Address

Regular personal inmate mail must be routed through ViaPath for processing. The county’s published mail policy identifies the following address:

The county’s webpage contains a spelling error in “Phoenix”; the city is written correctly above. Confirm the current mailing format with the jail before sending important correspondence.

Before sending a letter

• Include the inmate’s full name and correct booking number.
• Use the approved ViaPath mail-processing address.
• Include a valid return address.
• Check facility restrictions on enclosures and photographs.
• Do not send cash or unapproved property.
• Confirm separate rules for legal correspondence.

The county states that books must be sent directly from an authorized vendor to the jail.

Read the official Mail Policy and Procedures for restrictions before mailing.

How to Send Money to a Umatilla County Jail Inmate

The county confirms that ViaPath provides deposit options for inmate telephone services, including online payments, telephone deposits and a lobby kiosk.

Communication-account deposits

1. Visit GettingOut.
2. Choose the account or deposit service.
3. Select the appropriate correctional facility.
4. Identify the inmate or the telephone number being funded.
5. Review the payment and fees.
6. Complete the transaction and keep the receipt.

Deposits may also be arranged by calling 866-516-0115. The Sheriff’s Office identifies a ViaPath lobby kiosk accepting cash or credit-card deposits for supported services.

What about commissary money?

Commissary funds may use a different account or deposit process from phone and tablet communications. Before paying, call jail reception at 541-966-3632 and confirm the currently authorized commissary provider, inmate identification requirements and applicable deposit limits.

Do not assume a telephone deposit can be transferred to commissary or used to satisfy bail.

Umatilla County Jail Bail, Security and Release Information

Bail or security conditions are established through the relevant court process. The amount, type of security and conditions may change after a court appearance.

How to confirm a release payment

1. Verify the person is currently held at Umatilla County Jail.
2. Obtain the inmate’s full name and any known booking or case number.
3. Call the jail at 541-966-3632.
4. Ask whether a release amount has been set.
5. Confirm the court handling the case.
6. Ask exactly where and how payment is accepted.
7. Check for other warrants, holds or release conditions.
8. Retain the official receipt for any payment.

Do not rely on an amount shown by an unofficial jail roster. An inmate may have multiple cases, holds or conditions preventing immediate discharge.

Release processing times can vary. Contact Corrections staff rather than assuming that someone will be released immediately after a payment.

Umatilla County Jail Court Dates and Criminal Case Search

Jail records help identify people in custody, while court records provide information about filed cases, scheduled hearings and judicial decisions.

How to check a Umatilla County criminal case

1. Gather the inmate’s full name and any available case number.
2. Open the Oregon Judicial Department Records and Calendars page.
3. Choose the available court records or calendar search option.
4. Search using the case number or permitted party-name fields.
5. Identify the relevant Umatilla County matter.
6. Review any publicly available hearing information.
7. Confirm the date, time and location with the court before attending.

Not every court document is publicly accessible online. Sealed, juvenile or otherwise restricted records may require a separate procedure.

Do not assume the jail’s physical address is the correct courthouse location. Confirm the assigned hearing facility before traveling.

How to Request Umatilla County Jail Booking Records

For arrest reports, historical booking information, incident records or photographs not available through the public search, contact the records-holding agency.

Step-by-step public records request

1. Identify the specific record you need.
2. Gather the individual’s name, approximate arrest date and case number if known.
3. Visit the Sheriff’s Office website or contact its administrative office.
4. Ask for the applicable public records request procedure.
5. Describe the requested record clearly.
6. Confirm copying fees and disclosure restrictions.
7. Submit the request through the approved channel.
8. Keep a copy of the request for follow-up.

Oregon’s Public Records Law generally governs access to agency records, subject to exemptions and applicable confidentiality rules. A record request does not guarantee that every booking photograph, investigative document or personal detail will be disclosed.
