The Cowlitz County Jail roster in Washington is an official online custody database operated through the Cowlitz County Corrections Department. It provides a current inmate list, bookings from the last 24 hours, releases from the last 48 hours, charge information, bond details and inmate-specific visitation times.
The jail is located at 1935 First Avenue, Longview, WA 98632. For immediate custody questions, call 360-577-3094. The official roster is free to search and does not require a third-party inmate locator.
Cowlitz County Jail Roster: Official Inmate Search
What does the official jail roster contain?
The county’s custody dashboard contains several linked views:
| Official database | Information provided | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Inmates Current Roster | Names, inmate numbers, booking dates, locations and links to individual profiles | Confirm whether someone is listed in current custody |
| Bookings Last 24 Hours | Recently booked individuals, booking times and custody locations | Check new arrests and recent admissions |
| Releases Last 48 Hours | Names and release timestamps | Check whether someone recently left jail custody |
| Inmate Charges | Charge descriptions, courts, arresting agencies and available bond information | Review allegations and related case details |
The roster also displays an Updated timestamp. Check that timestamp when evaluating the freshness of the information rather than assuming the figures are live to the second.
How to Search the Cowlitz County Jail Roster by Name
Visit Cowlitz County Jail Roster.
The current inmate table has a search box above the list of names.
Start with the last name. If necessary, enter more of the person’s name to narrow the results.
Compare the displayed name, inmate number and booking timestamp. Do not assume two similar names refer to the same person.
Open the person’s profile to review available booking details, housing location, visitation times, charge descriptions, court information and bond totals.
Use the links at the top of the roster for the 24-hour booking and 48-hour release lists.
Call 360-577-3094 before arranging travel, posting bond or relying on a custody-status change.
How to search on a mobile phone
Open the official roster in your phone’s browser, use the Search field to narrow the table and tap Profile / Charges beside the matching person. The county dashboard includes multiple columns, so you may need to scroll within the table or rotate your phone to view additional details.
Can I search by inmate number?
The roster displays a Number column. You can try entering that identifier in the table search box, but verify the resulting record against the person’s name and booking details. The county does not present the dashboard as a comprehensive historical inmate-number lookup.
Cowlitz County Jail Bookings: Last 24 Hours
Cowlitz County maintains a dedicated Jail Bookings page covering the preceding 24 hours. The table includes names, inmate numbers, booking timestamps and locations. Some recently booked people may already be marked Released.
How to check recent jail bookings
What does Pending Booking mean?
A location such as 1-PENDING BOOKING indicates that the record is associated with an intake or booking stage. The person may not yet have a regular housing assignment. Contact jail staff if you need immediate clarification.
Are older bookings available?
The public dashboard specifically provides a recent 24-hour booking list, not a guaranteed full historical archive. For older detention records, contact the Cowlitz County Corrections Department or use the county’s public-records request process.
Cowlitz County Jail Releases: Last 48 Hours
The official Jail Releases page displays people released during the preceding 48 hours, including the recorded release date and time.
How to confirm a recent release
Why might someone appear more than once?
Separate booking or release events can produce more than one record for the same individual. Compare dates and related booking information rather than assuming that duplicate names are database errors.
Does a release mean the criminal case is finished?
No. Release from jail may occur before trial, after a court order, after posting bail, after serving a sentence or for another reason. The responsible court is the source for the case’s legal status.
