Official Lewis County Washington Jail Roster — Current Inmates
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Bureau provides a public inmate-information system at jail.lewiscountywa.gov. It contains separate sections for the current roster, recent bookings, completed releases and scheduled releases.
The roster can be searched by surname and displays names, inmate identification numbers, booking times, charges and available bond details.
How to Search Lewis County Jail Inmates by Name
The county’s online inmate roster includes an interactive surname filter. You can use it without creating an inmate-telephone or commissary account.
Lewis County Jail Current Roster
After opening this link:
- Look for the page heading Lewis County Jail Roster.
- Find the field labeled Filter List by Last Name.
- Enter the person’s last name.
- Review the returned inmate entries.
- Compare the full name and inmate number.
- Check the Booked At date and time.
- Review the listed arrest date, agency, court and charges.
- Check the bond type and amount for each listed matter.
- Use the Register option if you need an available custody notification.
What if the inmate does not appear?
Start with the surname alone. If the person’s full name has a middle name, hyphen or suffix, a shorter search term may be more useful.
Then review the recent booking and release pages. Someone arrested earlier in the day might still be undergoing intake, while another person may already have been released or transferred.
Lewis County Jail Bookings and Recent Arrest Records
The Sheriff’s public inmate portal provides a separate Jail Bookings report. It contains recently recorded bookings and associated arrest information.
How to find a recent booking
- Open the Jail Bookings report.
- Enter the person’s surname in the filter field.
- Review the matching names and inmate numbers.
- Check the Booked At time.
- Read the arrest date and arresting agency.
- Identify the listed court and warrant or citation number.
- Review the charge descriptions and bond amounts.
- Check the current roster to find out whether the person remains listed in jail custody.

Lewis County Jail Completed Releases and Release Calendar
Lewis County maintains a Completed Release report showing people recently released from the jail. The public portal says its completed-release tab provides information about people released in the preceding 24 hours.
How to confirm a completed release
- Open the Lewis County Jail Releases page.
- Check the report’s date range.
- Find the person’s name.
- Read the Released At timestamp.
- Check the Released To field.
- Compare the information with the current roster if necessary.
Will jail staff provide a scheduled release time?
The Sheriff’s published policy says staff generally do not provide release dates or times to outside callers. The inmate can obtain their release information and share it with friends or family.
Published release processing windows
According to the county’s current basic jail information:
- If release is authorized after 7:00 a.m., processing generally targets 11:00 a.m. or between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
- When bail or bond release occurs after 4:30 p.m., processing generally takes place after 8:00 p.m.
- These are general processes, not guaranteed pickup appointments.

How to request an eligible booking photograph

- Record the person’s full name and inmate number.
- Identify the approximate booking date.
- Check whether the Sheriff’s public records service handles the requested image.

Lewis County Jail Roster Codes, Bond Types and Charge Meanings
A single inmate may have several listed charges, each with a separate bond type or court reference.
Does a $0 bond amount mean release is free?
No. A zero dollar amount can accompany No Bail, Included or another classification. It does not establish that the person can leave without court approval.
Read every charge and contact the appropriate court or jail for clarification before arranging payment.
Lewis County Jail Cash Bail, Bonds and Payment Instructions
The Lewis County Jail accepts bail on behalf of the court with jurisdiction over the relevant charge. The court determines the amount and whether cash bail or a bond is permitted.
How to post cash bail
- Find the person in the official current roster.
- Record the inmate number and applicable charge information.
- Confirm the court-ordered cash bail amount.
- Ask whether other warrants or holds prevent release.
- Visit the main jail lobby during normal business hours, or the release lobby after hours.
- Follow the posted instructions for the bail kiosk.
- Use permitted denominations and confirm the payment.
- Keep the official receipt.
- Follow the court and jail’s release processing procedures.
How do bail refunds work?
The jail forwards bail received to the court that ordered it. Contact that court for refund information, not the jail commissary provider.
Lewis County Jail Visitation Hours and Current Restrictions
Lewis County publishes HomeWAV video visiting instructions, but its general county services page also states that on-site visitation is canceled.
