What This Guide Covers
Washington law makes some jail-register information available to the public, but Yakima custody records are split across several systems. The county Department of Corrections operates the main jail at 111 N Front Street, Yakima Police operates a separate city jail for male city misdemeanor custody, and Washington DOC handles sentenced state prisoners and Ahtanum View Reentry Center residents. Federal and immigration detainees must be checked through BOP, ICE, federal court, or the holding jail when one is involved.
This site brings together roster links, locator notes, facility contacts, visitation basics, and request steps for Yakima County, Washington. It is built as a navigation resource, not as an official records database.
