This is a private reference site, not a Yakima County office. We cannot confirm whether a person is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visits, retrieve official booking records, or change a court or jail record. Use the official office that controls the record or custody status.

Where to Look First
- For a current county jail booking, start with jail inmate records and the Yakima County Inmate Lookup page, then call Yakima County DOC if the roster does not answer the question.
- For a booking photo, read jail roster mugshots. Yakima County states that most non-register jail records, including booking photos, are confidential under RCW 70.48.100.
- For charges, court dates, bond orders, or dispositions after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Washington Courts case search, or the court of record.
- For a specific facility, use the footer links for Yakima County Department of Corrections / Yakima County Jail, Yakima City Jail, and Ahtanum View Reentry Center.
- For a sentenced state prisoner or Ahtanum View resident, use the Washington DOC incarcerated search and WA VINE.
- For federal custody, search the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. WA custody notifications are available through WA VINE / VINELink.
