Search Arrest, Mugshot & Inmate Records by Name
Search by name and state for arrest, booking, mugshot, inmate, jail roster, prison, criminal and court-record search categories.
Independent records-search resource. This website is not a government agency, police department, sheriff's office, jail, prison or courthouse. Search coverage varies by source and jurisdiction. Some links may lead to third-party services, and compensation may be received when a partner service is used.
The SCORE Regional Jail roster helps you search for people held at the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington. The official Jail Inmate Lookup System provides access to current inmates, recent bookings, recent releases, scheduled court events, and available offense or bail information.
This guide explains how to use the official SCORE inmate search, locate booking records, check mugshot availability, and arrange jail services without relying on outdated third-party information.
Open the official SCORE Jail Inmate Lookup System at jils.scorejail.org. Select Inmate Roster for current custody, Recent Bookings for admissions within the last 24 hours, or Search for past bookings and releases.
The roster is updated automatically on a schedule, not guaranteed to be instantaneous. SCORE advises users to check the update timestamp and call 206-257-6200 with questions about a specific inmate.
Official SCORE Regional Jail Inmate Roster
The SCORE Jail Inmate Lookup System is the primary source for public information about people in SCORE custody. Its homepage identifies five main search functions.
Find people currently listed in SCORE custody and review available individual inmate information.
Open current inmate roster →Review people booked into SCORE during the latest published 24-hour period.
Open recent bookings →Check recently recorded releases from SCORE custody.
Open recent releases →Search historical booking and release information available through SCORE’s public interface.
Search past bookings and releases →View court events associated with inmates in the SCORE lookup system.
Open scheduled court events →Confirm custody or ask about records that are unclear or missing from the online roster.
Call SCORE: 206-257-6200 →What information does the SCORE roster provide?
SCORE’s official lookup homepage states that its system includes booking information, offense and bail details, scheduled court events, and inmate-search functionality. The available individual record may show additional identifiers or release information.
To view current charges and historical sentencing information, SCORE instructs users to select the View button next to the inmate’s Name Number.
How often is the SCORE inmate roster updated?
The official lookup system says records are refreshed automatically on a schedule. Check the Last Updated timestamp displayed by the system. Release dates and other information may change between updates.
Can I search the SCORE roster on my phone?
Yes. Open the official lookup system in a current mobile browser. If a direct roster page does not load, return to the lookup homepage and use its navigation menu.
How to Search the SCORE Jail Roster by Name
Choose the current roster from the top navigation or homepage links.
Use the available name-search control or browse the inmate listing.
Try a legal surname, former surname, hyphenated name, or different spelling if no result appears.
Compare available identifying information rather than relying on a matching name alone.
Use the View button beside the inmate’s Name Number where available.
Check the listed offenses, court events, bail information, and any release estimate.
Record the Name Number, relevant case number, and date you checked the information.
Call 206-257-6200 before making a payment, arranging transportation, or relying on a projected release date.
What is the SCORE inmate Name Number?
The Name Number is an identifier used in SCORE’s inmate lookup system. It helps you open the correct person’s record and can be useful when communicating with jail staff or arranging services.
Can I search by a past booking?
Yes. The official system includes a separate Search Past Bookings/Releases function. Historical availability is subject to the records displayed by the system.
Can I search for someone using a case number?
Use any case-number search option provided by the live interface. Otherwise, find the inmate by name and review the available case details. Court case numbers should also be verified with the court handling the matter.
SCORE Jail Recent Bookings and Arrest Records
The official SCORE system has a dedicated Recent Bookings (Last 24hrs) page. This is more useful for newly booked people than searching old mugshot directories or general people-search websites.
Open the recent-bookings page, review the latest listed admissions, and select an available individual record for further details.
View Recent SCORE Bookings ↗How to check recent SCORE bookings
Does SCORE show bookings older than 24 hours?
Its lookup system includes a historical search option for past bookings and releases. Use that function when the recent-bookings page no longer covers the date you need.
Does every arrest in south King County appear at SCORE?
No. Arresting agencies may use different detention facilities. A person may also be cited and released, transferred, or held at a King County facility instead of SCORE.
Is a booking record the same as a conviction?
No. Booking records document custody-related events. A criminal charge is an allegation, and a conviction or dismissal must be verified through the responsible court.
SCORE Jail Mugshots and Booking Photographs
A booking photograph, often called a mugshot, may be created during the jail identification process. However, public access to booking photographs is not guaranteed.
Washington law treats many jail records as confidential. SCORE’s official public-records guidance cites RCW 70.48.100 and identifies limited booking and release information that may be disclosed.
How to check whether a SCORE mugshot is available
Can I request a SCORE booking photograph?
You may ask through the public-records process, but disclosure is subject to Washington law and any applicable exemptions. Do not assume that every photograph must be released.
Are mugshot websites reliable?
Third-party mugshot websites may display outdated information and may not reflect a later release, dismissal, or case disposition. Use SCORE and the appropriate court as the authoritative sources.
Understanding SCORE Jail Roster Fields
| Roster Field | Meaning | Important Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Name Number | Identifier used by SCORE to access an inmate’s information. | Not necessarily the same as a court case number. |
| Booking Date | Date the person entered the booking process. | May differ from the arrest date. |
| Offense / Charge | Listed allegation or legal basis for custody. | Not proof of guilt or conviction. |
| Bail / Bond | Financial release information associated with the case. | Amount or eligibility may change by court order. |
| Scheduled Court Event | Available court hearing or appearance information. | Confirm the hearing with the responsible court. |
| Estimated Release | Projected date associated with custody processing. | Not a guaranteed release date or time. |
| Recent Release | Recorded discharge from SCORE custody. | Does not necessarily establish that all legal matters are closed. |
SCORE warns that estimated release dates may change because of additional charges, sentence adjustments, disciplinary modifications, and other custody developments. An inmate without an estimated release date may be awaiting court action.
What If Someone Is Not on the SCORE Jail Roster?
Where to search next
Check whether the person was released during the last 24 hours.
Search recent releases →Look for older bookings or releases within the public lookup system.
Search historical records →SCORE links to other jail systems, including King, Pierce, Snohomish, and additional counties.
Find another jail roster →Use the Bureau of Prisons locator if the person may be in federal custody.
Federal inmate locator →What if someone was arrested in Auburn, Renton, or Tukwila?
These cities are among SCORE’s owners, but that does not guarantee that every person arrested there will be housed at SCORE. Check the current SCORE roster, then contact the arresting agency or another likely facility if the person is not listed.
How can I confirm current custody quickly?
Call SCORE at 206-257-6200. Have the person’s full legal name and approximate arrest date ready.
SCORE Jail Bail and Bond: Payment Instructions
SCORE accepts bail at its reception window at 20817 17th Avenue South, Des Moines, WA 98198. Its official posting-bail page provides the following instructions.
Reception window: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–6:30 PM.
After hours: Use the intercom next to the main jail lobby entrance.
Accepted methods: Cash or a bond from a bail bond company, subject to the current court order and jail procedures.
Jail telephone: 206-257-6200
Read Official SCORE Bail Instructions ↗How to post bail for a SCORE inmate
How much does a bail bond company charge?
SCORE states that bail bond companies generally charge 8%–15% of the bail amount as a nonrefundable fee. SCORE does not recommend a particular company.
How long does release take after posting bail?
SCORE’s official release page states that processing after bail is posted may take approximately two to six hours. This is not a guaranteed timeframe and can vary with the facility’s workload.
Who handles bail refunds?
SCORE forwards bail it receives to the court that ordered it. Contact that court for questions about refunds.
SCORE Jail Court Dates, Charges and Case Search
SCORE holds people for multiple cities and agencies, so the jail location does not identify the court handling a case. A person housed at SCORE may have a municipal, district, or other court matter.
The official SCORE lookup system includes Scheduled Court Events. For official case status, hearings, and dispositions, contact the court identified in the inmate’s record.
Which court handles a SCORE inmate’s case?
| Jurisdiction | Official SCORE Court Routing | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Auburn | King County District Court | Use SCORE’s court directory for the appropriate court link. |
| Burien | King County District Court | Check the case number and district court records. |
| Des Moines | Confirm the municipal or district court identified in the case record. | Use the case details and SCORE’s court directory. |
| Renton | Renton Municipal Court | Call 425-430-6550. |
| SeaTac | SeaTac Municipal Court | Call 206-973-4610. |
| Tukwila | Tukwila Municipal Court | Call 206-433-1840. |
These are routing examples, not a guarantee that every case from a city is filed in that court. The arresting agency, offense, case number, and current court assignment control.

Can family members watch court proceedings at SCORE?
No. SCORE states that it does not allow public viewing of court proceedings at the facility. Contact the court conducting the hearing to ask about public observation options.
Can I use the roster to check a final conviction?
Do not rely on the jail roster for final case outcomes. Use the responsible court’s official records or clerk’s office.
