Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Day County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the person’s name, booking date, charges, bond or hold information when available, and current custody status. Records are usually added after booking and processing are completed, which can take several hours, so a person may not appear immediately after arrest. If the online roster does not show the person you are looking for, check again later or contact the sheriff’s office or jail staff for current custody information.
